Thrive Rake Lane is proud to be graded 'outstanding' by Ofsted in February 2024.
The nursery provides care for children from birth to five years of age throughout six large playrooms that are age-appropriate.
Each room provides quality resources in a stimulating environment.
They also have a large outdoor space that has a sand and mud pit alongside a water pump that the children love to play with on a daily basis.
The nursery chef has been working with the nursery since December 2005. Alongside making yummy food, she also enjoys covering in the rooms and her 'Cooking with Cath' sessions.
Children are central to all that staff do here so to make sure of this the nursery has a children’s committee, this allows the children to participate in decisions that will affect them at nursery.
The entire key person planning is based on the unique child principle taken from the EYFS document and this allows professionals to cater for and develop the child’s individual needs.
They provide a range of session patterns to suit all childcare needs including variable sessions, extra sessions and full-time places.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Excellent team. More emphasis should be put on cleanliness, the number of staff available and encourage kids to eat promptly.

They made us feel very welcome and settled from the minute we walked through the door. My daughter loves it and has come on in leaps and bounds. The nursery has lots of things and activities for the children, not to mention the fab gardens outside. It’s very clean and bright inside.
Couldn’t be happier knowing I’m leaving my child in the capable hands of lovely people.
Lovely room, lovely staff. Not only make me feel comfortable with my son being here, my son also loves being here.

I can see how much my little girl loves each and everyone she's come in contact with from the smile and joy on her face daily.
Thank you for the help, support, reassurance and daily smiles for me and my little girl.
Since starting at Holyrood...
Since starting at Holyrood in Clifton, my son has come on leaps and bounds, particularly with his speech, being able to speak in complete sentences after attending for a matter of weeks. I also saw first hand, his relationships with the staff blossoming and his confidence soaring.
A particular moment I will forever be thankful for is when we were going through a tough time at home and the staff, particularly the manager, went above and beyond to make sure that both myself and my son were ok. I will also be sending my daughter there once the time comes.
All my 3 boys attend this nursery. Very, very happy with the service. Very good and high quality.

Both our girls love their time at Nursery and form close bonds with their key workers starting from when they were 8 months old. They are excellent dealing with children when they are poorly (as we well know) and supported us as a family!!
Fantastic chef as well, my girls love Nursery meals.

I can't recommend them enough! My daughter enjoys her time there while mummy is at work. In fact, when I collect her from her half-day sessions I struggle to get her out! She loves it that much. All the staff are nice, friendly, polite and encouraging.
My child has gone through the baby room all the way to preschool. Lots of activities throughout the nursery where fees are included, very good nursery setting. Well worth its money. Thank you,...

Friendly helpful staff. Handy and convenient as they take my son to his school and pick him up again afterwards. He has been there since he was six months old and the team have watched him grow up and is currently at the before and after school clubs.
