My son loves going to nursery, there. I like that his key person meets him at the door and helps him settle in, gently taking him deeper into the classroom. I love that the kids bring a new book home each week to read together. And their meals always sound delicious.

The staff are extremely professional and knowledgeable about the curriculum and child development needs. They have also been very accommodating and flexible depending on the child’s needs. We also really appreciate the interest they take in parents and the child’s family and are happy to offer support
if needed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child is currently settling into the nursery having moved from another setting. For a toddler (and me) such a change is very unsettling but I can honestly say the staff here have been absolutely brilliant! The staff are so focused on the happiness and welfare of the children and they are lovely
to talk to - nothing is too much and they really put me at ease. The nursery is very clean, well lit and has lots of different toys to keep the children occupied together with the engaging planned activities. The onsite chef is amazing, making fresh and nutritious food for the kids (yes I have tried it!). The owner/proprietor is exceptional - her vision to create a homely, friendly and child focused environment really feeds down to the staff and really benefit the children - the intention of keeping room intake small is a reflection of this. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery to any parent.

My son has recently started in the baby room at Raise to Shine Childcare and has settled in really well. Staff are all lovely and hard working, the manager has lots of time for parents and goes above and beyond to make parents feel settled too. The nursery feels very family orientated. Food is very
nutritious and cooked fresh by a Chef on site.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Raise to shine is an approachable and loving nursery, the fact that they keep the number of children in the room small ensures that each child gets the attention that they need. The staff care about each child and the activities arranged daily allow each child to participate and capture their attention.
The toys in the room are of a good range allowing the inquisitive nature of the child to be explored.


The owner again has the best interest of the child and will work with you towards your goals. She has met regularly with me to discuss what we would like to work on with our little one and how we can work together to attain them. The communication between the staff is great as well.


I would recommend the nursery to fellow friends and colleagues as a loving small nursery who will genuinely care for your child. The facilities are clean and the food options are great and tasty (vegetarian), they also allow activities for the family to partake in.

My daughter has been attending now for around 3 months and I have been so impressed with the service. Staff have worked incredibly hard to help her to settle, she has really come out of her shell and really enjoys the facilities and activities. I love that the class sizes are small as there is more
teacher-student care and interaction. The menu is varied, healthy, tasty and most importantly made fresh on site. The owner is incredibly friendly and approachable and takes the time to get to know each child and parent, and this attention and care towards you is felt from all the staff, especially the manager. Would definitely recommend!

My two sons started at Raise to Shine Childcare in September 2021 and it has been the best decision I have made for the boys. The staff are so supportive and caring towards the children. They have helped me so much with the development of my boys and show so much interest in their well-being. The nursery
itself is so clean and well laid out. The boys get to enjoy so many different activities during the day and the best thing is I am kept updated throughout the day too via their app. I would definitely recommend, a brilliant nursery and amazing staff.

My son started Raise to Shine Childcare in February 2022 so is still quite new. He’s found it hard to settle but the staff have been wonderful with him and every time he goes I can see him becoming more and more comfortable. They do lots of lovely activities and they have really taken onboard all the
things I said he liked and utilised that information well to continue to help him settle in. The staff are so kind and attentive and they have been really reassuring for me as well.
Raise to Shine Childcare has a lovely relaxed, family centred vibe which is apparent as soon as you walk through the door and you can really tell how much all of the staff care.
I am so glad I picked raise to shine for my son, I have no doubt once he is fully settled he will love going to nursery every time!

My child has done his week of settling in and the staff have been so friendly, warm and welcoming. My son feels at ease when I hand him over and has been having a really fun time. He giggles and smiles while he is there, which is really comforting to know and see as a parent. The staff have taken on
board his needs and have been very supportive. Feedback during the day via the app and verbal at the end of the day has been excellent.

After returning to work after an 8-year career break I was very anxious about sending my youngest to nursery. I was worried for nothing! Raise to Shine were warm and welcoming from the very onset! The facilities are fabulous but the staff are the true stars! My daughter had some settling issues but
that was because it was all a new experience for her, Raise to Shine have been fantastic and helpful. I know my daughter is going to love her time here! Thank you Raise to Shine!

My son started attending Raise to Shine in January 2021 at 11 months of age. As a first time parent, both my husband and I were worried about leaving our child however the incredible staff made the transition extremely easy. Since my son has been attending this nursery I have first hand seen a huge
difference in his overall development. I am so pleased with the enormous progress he has made already - I cannot thank the staff for all their hard work! We are so pleased with the service, provision and overall support we have received from RTSC and are so excited to continue on this amazing journey with our son with this provider.

We are very happy with the nursery. My son has started when he was eighteen months old and looking forward to going to the nursery every morning. The best thing is the pure veg plant-based food, which gives him a variety of choice. The staff is very supportive and helpful. The outside space with the
garden is a great place for kids to enjoy.

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.
