Review from T M (Mother of Child) published on 21 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my children are attending the setting. They leave excited for nursery and come home super happy after a fun-filled day. The staff are super supportive, to both children and parents alike. As a military family, they've supported us through deployment by making sure the children had extra support and resources available. They carefully plan each week with a different learning theme, offering a variety of activities and really making the most of the local area. Overall, we've seen such progress with our children, they talk so fondly of all key workers and both have become super confident little beings since joining. We can't thank the staff enough.

Overall Experience
Fabulous nursery, all the staff are wonderful and my son just loves it.
RAFA Kidz have invested in the nursery since taking over and it's clear to see the boost this has given the staff there. Lots of new resources and some reorganisation have made such a difference to the setting. We get lovely updates to see what they've all been up to and have plenty of variety in their days.

Would highly recommend!

Review from Hayley S (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Lovely nursery. They spend so much time taking the children out and about in the local area, which the children all love. A great, caring atmosphere with staff that really do care. My child settled in so well and loves the staff.
Food is a hit as well, with plenty of different dishes given.

Could not recommend it more.

Review from Alex M (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started at the nursery just before it changed to RAFA Kidz Boulmer. The nursery was in a little need of a re-vamp, but since being taken over it has been totally transformed. There are lots of new toys for the children to play with and everything has had a really good freshen-up giving the nursery a new lease of life. All of the staff are so lovely and I feel content that our son is in good hands. I would definitely recommend this nursery. Our son has really taken to his 2 days a week here and we can see a big difference in his development.

Review from Emily H (Mother of Child) published on 27 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child's keyworker and the manager, in particular, have been a huge support to my family and I over the past year. Our little one has attended nursery for over a year here and all staff are lovely with our little one. Our little one has additional needs and we feel that the nursery have been proactive in signposting us to appropriate agencies and are supporting us through our journey.

The nursery revamp looks brilliant. My daughter runs in in the mornings, never looking back! She loves all the girls and I feel I can easily ask them questions if need be. Fantastic nursery, would recommend it to everyone.

Overall Experience

Longhoughton Nursery is fantastic, we have had children attending since 2017. All 3 kids have absolutely loved it, playing outside, and doing craft activities. They all look forward to going to nursery and all of the staff are friendly and approachable. Can’t recommend this nursery enough and we will be sad when our last child leaves!

Overall Experience

Was nervous about putting my 6-month-old into nursery as I felt like she was very young, however the staff are amazing and let me know how she is getting along. The communication between staff and parents is amazing, the nursery itself is absolutely beautiful and my daughter loves to attend. The staff make the place a really nice and welcoming environment and I wouldn’t think twice about recommending RAFA Kidz Boulmer.

Overall Experience

What a warm and welcoming nursery. My son settled in straight away and absolutely loves coming to nursery. It’s a total home from home for him. All the staff are brilliant so warm and welcoming. My son has such lovely bonds with all of them but especially his key worker. He’s thriving and I think nursery has helped with this.

Overall Experience

Absolutely amazing nursery, this is my second child to go here and they've both loved it. From learning to playing with friends, friendly staff and fantastic meals. If there is ever a query about anything, someone is always there to answer. They love playing inside and outside as well as planting vegetables and plants.
