Rafles has been a brilliant nursery and preschool for our son. The facilities are excellent. The staff are attentive and form a real relationship with the kids and parents. We're honestly sad to leave but so grateful for the experience he has had. When we were looking for nurseries cleanliness was a big factor for us and Rafles is always clean and tidy. We would recommend Rafles to anyone looking for a place for their child.

Both my sons have progressed through Rafles and have thrived under their care. When I visited for the first time, 5.5 years ago, I burst into tears as I knew this was where I wanted my son to go. The nursery has got even better since then and the staff are nurturing, committed and welcoming. I'd recommend this nursery to all parents looking for a fantastic early years provision for their child to flourish and begin their early education at.

A Truly Special Nursery - Like a Second Home My daughter started at the nursery at 11 months old and is now graduating. From the very beginning, it's always felt like a family. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely nurturing - she has been loved, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.
She's learned so much and grown into a confident, happy little girl. The outdoor space is lovely, and they go above and beyond to make things special - from hatching chicks and keeping them for weeks, to now having ducklings. We're so grateful for the wonderful start they've given her - it's a place full of love, learning, and joy.

I truly cannot speak highly enough of this nursery. After searching high and low (and even having to use an interim option while we waited for a place), I can confidently say it was more than worth the wait. The attention to detail across every aspect of care and education is unmatched. From the daily structure and activities to the way each child is truly seen and supported, it's clear how much thought and passion goes into everything they do. My children are absolutely thriving in this environment - socially, emotionally, and developmentally.
The team are nurturing, communicative, and clearly love what they do. I feel so reassured every day knowing my children are in such safe, supportive, and inspiring hands. It's more than just childcare - it's a foundation that sets them up for the best possible start in life.

Rafles Nursery and Preschool has been truly wonderful. After a bad experience at another nursery, finding Rafles has honestly been nothing short of healing for our family. From the moment we visited Rafles for our first ever tour, we felt a complete sense of warmth, kindness and care that put us at ease and we instantly knew our boys would be safe and happy. Rafles have played a key role in our children's learning, and social and emotional development...our children have been genuinely so happy and this speaks volumes for the nursery and the staff because children are amazing little judges of characters! It puts our family at ease knowing that our children are safe, happy and thriving! We are incredibly grateful to the amazing staff whose dedication, patience and kindness has created the nurturing space that Rafles is, a true home away from home. Also, big shout out to the chef for the delicious freshly made food everyday...our boys love your food!

I've been involved with Rafles for the last six years, with both of my sons attending, and I can't recommend it highly enough.The nursery has played a huge role in their development, supporting every key milestone-from toilet training and brushing teeth to recognising and writing their names. Both boys have been well-prepared for school.
My youngest, who still attends and starts school in September, has kidney issues and needs to drink lots of water. The staff have been fantastic in supporting this, always attentive to his health and wellbeing. Every member of staff is warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. There's always a great mix of fun and educational activities, and we love the regular photo updates through the app. Rafles has been such a positive part of our lives and I would highly recommend this nursery to any parent.

Three of my children have attended Raffles Nursery, and each of them has absolutely loved it. They've always been excited to go in, which speaks volumes about the warm and welcoming environment. The staff are friendly, caring, and truly dedicated to the children's wellbeing.
The nursery itself is spacious, clean, and tidy, with a lovely outdoor area that the kids really enjoy. I wouldn't want my children to attend anywhere else. The value for money is excellent, and the opening hours are a huge help for working parents like myself.

The atmosphere at Rafles has felt so warm and welcoming since that very first day we visited. All staff, from the chef to the office and room staff, are friendly and professional. The team in each room got to know my boys so well, so I'm confident they are able to spot changes in them quickly and address them immediately. They show kindness and love through their tone, language and genuine affection for them which has helped them become the caring boys they are. Staff are receptive to feedback, always willing to listen and make every attempt to problem solve in a solutions focused way.
The quality of activities and learning across all rooms is excellent. I am so impressed with how advanced their skills and vocabulary are and attribute that to the broad curriculum they offer. The toys and facilities are excellent, especially the amazing outside area and the way the staff take the children out walking to the pond and to picnic in the nearby areas. I cannot recommend Rafles enough.

When my daughter started Rafles, she had some obstacles to overcome with her speech, emotions and physical development. During her two years the support and love she received was beyond anything I could have asked for. Not only educationally but the love and care she was given made her the confident,
happy, loving little girl she's become. Her Key workers always went above and beyond to make sure she was reaching her milestones and always challenged her to excel in the most fun, creative environments. The research they put into helping her receive the outside support and resources that she needed is the reason why she's thriving today.
As well as the key workers, all the staff understood my daughter and her needs and always helped and guided her. I knew she was safe and cared for both emotionally and physically and the friendships and bonds she made is one to this day we still have and will forever cherish. Rafles truly helped myself and my daughter and we will forever be grateful!
