About us

All children are special but at RAFAKidz we believe our children are extra special. RAFAKidz is one of the chosen providers of nursery services to the RAF (Royal Air Force). Our nursery at Cranwell (near Sleaford) is one of 16 settings in the RAFAKidz family.

We offer subsidised childcare for colleagues to be able to bring their children with them, high quality up-to-date training including using our software to electronically record your observations and updates. You'll have ample annual leave and time off to relax and recharge over the Christmas period.

  • Meet and greet families and build great relationships
