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 parent my requirements are simple, a safe environment for my child with exceptional care but above all an enabling environment where my child can grow as an individual. Holyrood Swinton meets all these. I do not have to worry about my child because in just over a year he has developed exceptionally well. The nursery is the epitome of cleanliness , the staff are polite, forthcoming and keep me well informed about his progress or what I can do to help with his development. The upgrades they have made outside are pretty wonderful and safe for children to play in. I am confident leaving my child all day because I know in my absence he won't miss me while he enjoys himself under the best care available. Thank you all, you do a wonderful job and I appreciate it .

My daughter has been going to Holyrood Swinton for three years and loves it there. She always asks to go even at weekend and loves all the staff especially the staff in the kitchen and loves the food that they cook. I will be very sad when she leaves in September as she has learnt a lot there. The refurbishment looks great and my daughter loves it too.

The nursery was recommended to myself from a mum at school, I was not disappointed. From meeting the manager for the first time, she immediately put my mind at ease, welcoming me and my daughter to the nursery. Staff very friendly and accommodating, the recent works at the nursery are a fantastic addition with amazing outdoor facilities. Excellent meals/snacks and I love the fact that the children selves themselves. Thank you and well done Holyrood Swinton.
Love this nursery will definitely be using it again in the future if I have any more children, my child wakes up happy wanting to go there everyday, I will be sad when he leaves there as he's been there a long time but I will be using the holiday club aswell.
