The Raphael Nursery story: A journey of inspiration and love
The founders wanted to revive their late son, Raphaël, through the beautiful project of the nursery. He was a child with a heart-warming “joie de vivre”, always smiling and making others laugh. He was caring, loving and very curious of people around him. We hope to see these same qualities bring happiness to all children attending the setting. Raphael Nursery is thus far more than a nursery. Raphael nursery wants to feel like a home away from home for our children. We can nurture them for the future and prepare them for their next steps. We indeed hope to communicate a lifelong love for learning.
Meet the Founders:
A dynamic duo with a passion for early childhood education.
Caroline-Laure & Guilhem
Founders
Caroline-Laure and Guilhem established Raphael Nursery in memory of their son Raphaël. Known for his joy, smiles, and laughter Raphaël inspired them to build a nurturing, home-like place for children. With the special gift of a bilingual environment, Caroline-Laure who is now fully dedicated to the nurseries has endeavoured to instill these values in the children, nurturing them and preparing them for their future. Caroline-Laure is passionate about the development and the education of young children, with a particular focus on bilingualism.
All this has been made possible by the joint work with Colette who is at the heart of Raphael Nursery.
