Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We moved our 3-year-old son to RAFA Kidz at the end of February 2024 after him being at another nursery for the last two years. We have had nothing but a fantastic experience with him settling in and the overall staff in general. The staff are far more experienced, patient and attentive to our son than
his last nursery. He has settled in well and is enjoying his time there. The cleanliness of RAFA Kidz is far superior to his old setting. He comes home much cleaner than his old nursery and the nursery, in general, is very clean. The communication on a personal level is much more professional and informative. Our son seems to have more engagement from the staff in the preschool room than he had at his last nursery and the overall feel of the preschool is calm and welcoming. We are so happy that we moved our son due to circumstances and stumbled upon this hidden gem. Thank you to all the staff at RAFA Kidz for helping him transition to a happy, safe and friendly environment.

The nursery is lovely, with excellent staff. The children have a lot of fun and participate in educational activities that help them develop their skills and confidence. My daughter really enjoys it.

A lovely setting and a very happy child. A great approach to caring for our little one and she is very happy there, as are we with her being there. Good value with a close-knit family-based approach, we couldn’t be happier.

A great nursery where we regularly have to convince our little boy to leave.
The staff are amazing and always take the time to talk us through his day (which is normally filled with a variety of activities as well as a fantastic selection of food).
I can't recommend this nursery enough.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for RAFA Kidz Abbey Wood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.905 for RAFA Kidz Abbey Wood is calculated as follows: ( (478 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 526 Ratings = 4.905
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for RAFA Kidz Abbey Wood is based on 44 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 114 number of registered child places is 22.8, which has been reached with 44 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2012

hello!
I’m the nursery manager at RAFA Kidz Abbey Wood.
I’ve been in this role for around five years, beginning as a nursery nurse and working with children aged three months to eight years. During my journey, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various cities and learn from different nurseries, but I really enjoy my role here at RAFA Kidz. It’s a remarkable and inspiring setting, complemented by excellent facilities such as our outdoor areas and play spaces. We have a fantastic team, and our families and children contribute greatly to our nurturing environment. I believe we’ve established strong connections within our nursery community, which benefits everyone involved.
