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.

As a mother, I was very worried about leaving my first child at the nursery. As I arrived at the setting I was welcomed by an amazing management team. I was reassured straight away. I met all the staff who were fantastic. I was so happy and still am overwhelmed by the politeness and kindness and understanding of my situation.
My grandson attended here as a young child and holiday club. He loves to come and has made close bonds with the staff. He will tell me things he has done whilst being there.

Excellent nursery. My baby settled in so well and quickly. She is so comfortable with all the staff and looks forward to going there every day. Staff are very friendly and communicate with parents effectively.

My niece really enjoys the new holiday club and fantastic outdoor area. Staff and manager really friendly yet professional. They have a good Ofsted inspection, in my eyes should be outstanding!

Despite joining the nursery relatively recently as parents myself and my husband are very happy about the service. Our son willingly attends everyday full-time sessions and seems to have remained outgoing and cheerful after changing the environment from staying at home- since joining he's become more vocal and develops his speech in line with expected changes at this stage. He's physically active which we can observe when picking him up in the afternoon when he plays with other children and mums around. On that basis, I believe the nursery creates/facilitates overall/including social child's development- we're happy with a variety of meals although I wouldn't mind introducing, even more veg and fruit. Staff also are very communicative and informed about our son's activities throughout the day.
I love this nursery my boy is coming on in leaps and bounds. The staff are very helpful and work with your needs.

The manager and the team are fantastic. They all clearly have passion for the job and the children are central to their day! My daughter always comes home with lots of exciting stories about the fantastic activities she has done that day! My daughter loves the nursery and I truly believe she is 100% safe and happy there. I never worry about leaving her when I go to work.
Fantastic nursery with great staff. Every effort is made to get to know the children and guide them through their early years.
