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.

My 3 yr old lad absolutely loves going to Holyrood Swinton. All the staff are very friendly and informative about the progress my lad is making on a daily basis.

I had looked around a number of other nurseries, which I wasn’t happy with before I went to look around Holyrood. I was instantly made to feel at ease around the nursery by the professionalism of both the management and staff team. Both my sons settled really quickly into the setting and I was happy to leave them in the capable hands of the nursery staff. The cleanliness and orgasation of the rooms stood out from the other nurseries I had visited. I was confident both my sons were well occupied with a full range of activities prepared for each day. The meals they had were very varied and nutritious.
My son has attended this nursery since he was 5 months old and loves it every time he comes. He is now 6 years old and often attends the school holiday club.

My son has attended this nursery since he was 5 months old and loves it every time he comes. He is now 6 years old and often attends the school holiday club. Most of the staff have seen my son grow and we have very fond memories of his time at Holyrood. We can’t recommend Holyrood enough. It is a lovely, clean, modern nursery with great staff from the manager, all the girls and the cook!
My son started this nursery in January and absolutely loves it, the staff are amazing with all the children I can’t wait until my daughter starts in a couple of months. Brilliant learning skills always something exciting going on, could not recommend Holyrood and the girls enough.

He really enjoys his time there playing with all the other children. He loves being able to wander around the room exploring all the toys and activities that are available.
The nursery provides a well-balanced menu, providing all dietary requirements to suit individual needs.All members of staff are always very friendly and inviting when you arrive, especially the management team.
It is a very home from home, family-like setting.
I can't wait for him to be able to walk unaided so that he can go outside and explore all the outdoor activities.
All staff are fantastic and both my boys are well looked after and have an enjoyable time. They have both been going since being 9 months old. The whole team are brilliant.

Happy staff=happy children and over the years the nursery has expanded and lots of money has been spent in the area for the older children both inside and out. I always recommend this nursery.

I moved my son to Holyrood Swinton after a bad experience with another nursery which he'd attended for 6 months. The difference in my son as soon as he started here was amazing. He's so much happier and his development has come on in leaps and bounds.

There is a really friendly and supportive atmosphere here and the staff build really good relationships with the children and parents. Learning is child led and you can see when you go into the nursery that all the children are engaged with the activities and really enjoy their time here.
The nursery itself is warm, clean and inviting and the outdoors area is brilliant, the food here is great too.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery to anyone.

The nursery is kept very clean and to a high standard and all the staff are very friendly and easily approachable if you do come across any problems. The children enjoy how well they get along with everyone and the different activities they can become involved in.
I would highly recommend this nursery.
