Raise to Shine is a wonderful, warm and loving nursery. My daughter has been going there from the age of 6 months and I wouldn’t send her anywhere else.
The staff are attentive and enthusiastic, the management team take the time to personally get to know the children and parents, and the food is nutritious
and delicious!
I would highly recommend.

The staff at Raise to Shine are so lovely and we're so happy with the nursery in general. Our daughter loves the food cooked by the chef. The preschool staff can always give me a full rundown of her day which I really appreciate.

Staff and management are friendly, welcoming and have formed great bonds with the children. It's like a family and my child is very happy attending, she has formed a great bond with her key worker as well as the other staff in the room, often using them in role-play at home.

Nursery staff are always friendly.
Good communication.
My toddler's speech was below expected for her age. The nursery has done an amazing job supporting her progress- she's now putting little sentences together. So grateful for their input and enthusiasm to see her succeed.

Raise to Shine is an excellent nursery. We felt very anxious about where we would send our son but from the moment he started Raise to Shine, we've had nothing but positive thoughts and we can't praise this nursery enough. Our son now oozes confidence and he is really happy there. The staff are absolutely
amazing, they go above and beyond for each and every child to reach their full potential and also to help parents feel at ease. You can tell a lot of thought and planning goes into the daily activities, they celebrate all cultures and religions and they build on his experiences to enhance his learning further. They are a small nursery which means he has been able to build strong relationships with all staff members. The owner believes in transparency and that shines through, we trust the nursery completely with our children, they are open, honest and caring. Thank you to all the staff at Raise to Shine for making the nursery a positive experience for my son! I would highly recommend it!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandson has been attending the nursery for nearly 2 years and I cannot rate this nursery higher. The staff have been brilliant. They are focused on the happiness and welfare of the children.
The on-site chef is amazing, making fresh and nutritious meals.
The owner is outstandingly friendly and
child-focused.
The staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable about the curriculum and child development needs.
My grandson loves going to nursery. I like that his keyworker meets him at the door and takes him into his room.
An extremely well-run setting which puts the children they care for at the heart of everything they do.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursery to any parent.

I was so nervous about putting my daughter in nursery and leaving her while I went back to work and she can also cry around people she's not familiar with. From the day we went to settle her in, my daughter took a liking to Raise To Shine and the staff. All the staff are lovely. I can go to work and
know she has been looked after and cared for with no worries. Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Raise to Shine have shown such care and understanding with regard to our little girl, going out of their way to make sure she gets the right support and encouragement with regard to her development. In late January 2020 my daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumour (medulloblastoma), she
was only 15 months old. After surgery to remove the tumour, she endured 11 months of intensive chemotherapy, spending much of that time restricted to a hospital cot. Despite recommendations put forward by her Consultant at the hospital. Obviously, this illness has had a huge impact on her development. Raise to Shine welcomed my daughter in June 2022. Since then we have seen great improvements with her. Rise to Shine has encouraged her and helped her gain confidence with her. We are truly grateful to the team for all the care and dedication that they provide for my daughter. She is very happy there. We can't thank them enough for all that they have done.

From the moment of enquiry, right through to having a look around and bringing my children to this nursery - I haven’t looked back. Everyone who works here is passionate and genuinely cares about the children. They are professional but part of our family.
The children are very happy and comfortable
here, they have smiles on their faces at drop-off and pick-up. They have a variety of activities, delicious homemade food and so much attention throughout their day.
I am so happy that I found this nursery.

I am so happy with how my daughter has settled at nursery. From my first visit, I found the team to be kind, accommodating and responsive to my daughters needs. The smaller group sizes are perfect for our daughter and create a family feel as everyone knows each child well.

Both my children go to this nursery, one is in babies and one in preschool. I have to say when you first walk into the nursery you instantly notice how clean and tidy it is. The staff are very warm and welcoming so it puts both parents and children's mind at ease. So happy my children are attending
Raise to Shine Childcare as they are given a great platform to grow and shine with positive encouragement. The communication between parent and all the staff is excellent. All staff, manager and owners work very hard to ensure that the setting is a great place for the children to attend which is evident in the recent outstanding rating. Our children absolutely love cooking school too! We would definitely recommend this setting as it has been a great 2 years for us.

We could not be happier with our daughter at the nursery. She left her old nursery in difficult circumstances with it closing suddenly. Raise to Shine were so good in giving her time to settle, went the extra mile all the time in allowing us and her time.
Now she absolutely loves going, she bounces
up to the door and is always so happy when we pick her up as she has had such a good day.
The owner and staff are amazing! They really care for the children, it comes across so much! We couldn't be happier.

Fantastic nursery. Very homely with lots of individual focus. Our child loves the activities like cooking and being creative and is always hands-on which I think is brilliant at such a young age.
The nursery is led very well by the owner and management and this has been reflected in the recent Outstanding
rating given by Ofsted recently.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Raise to Shine Childcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.794 for Raise to Shine Childcare is calculated as follows: ( (322 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.794
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Raise to Shine Childcare is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
