The wonderful team at Cucina Bambini, our nursery food provider, have put together this festive Christmas bake for you to cook at home with your little ones over the festive period!

We’ve put together another handy Raised In seasonal guide with some highlights for events to take the little ones to over the festive period. Here are our top 5 family-friendly events, attractions and activities across Bristol for children under 5 this December…

In the previous blogs in this series, we looked at why community based nurseries are a win-win for everyone, and how this translates into reality at our Easton nurseries. In this blog, we will look at how our community nurseries contribute wider benefits to the communities of St Paul’s in Bristol’s city centre, and Southmead, to the north of Bristol.

In the first in our series looking at the benefits of community-based nurseries, we spoke about the wider impact we want to have on our communities, and the model behind Raised In as a social enterprise. This second piece in the series looks in more detail at our Easton nurseries in Bristol, and our community partner Eastside Community Trust who run the two well-loved sites at Easton Community Centre and Felix Road Adventure Playground.

This Social Enterprise Day we’re taking a moment to raise awareness of our pioneering business model and celebrate the more than 100,000 social enterprises in the UK working to benefit people and the planet.

This is the first in a three-part series of articles where we want to showcase the huge social value community-based nurseries bring, and what any private, voluntary or independent (PVI - any nursery which isn’t a maintained nursery school or children’s centre) nursery provider who might partner with a primary school could consider.

And just like that it's Autumn! As the nights are drawing in – it’s time to don your coats and scarves and swap your sandals for wellies. We’ve put together one of our handy Raised in Bristol seasonal guides for some things to do with your little ones in and around Bristol this Autumn – from pumpkin picking to bonfire night celebrations and crunchy leaf walks, we've got you covered!

At Raised In, we believe in the power of education to shape the future, and we’re looking for enthusiastic early years professionals to join our team and make an impact. Whether you’re seeking career growth, a fulfilling role, or simply a supportive work environment, Raised In offers it all – and more!

We sat down with the lovely Lisa from our Easton nursery Raised in Bristol at the Felix Road Adventure Playground and she told us a little bit about her time with Raised In, what she enjoys about the job and what she likes to get up to in her spare time…

At Raised in Bristol, we believe that good nutrition is a cornerstone of early childhood development. This autumn, we're excited to introduce a fresh, seasonal menu to our nurseries crafted by Bristol-based early years kitchen Cucina Bambini, designed to delight and nourish our little learners.

If you’re new to Raised in Bristol, the city of Bristol, or you are thinking about the right day nursery for your little one, let us introduce you to our nursery in St Pauls, located on the first floor of Docklands Community Centre.

We sat down with the lovely Robyn from our North Bristol nursery Raised in Bristol at the Greenway Centre and she told us a little bit about her time with Raised In so far since joining the team at the beginning of the year, what she enjoys about he job and what she likes get up to in her spare time…

Congratulations to Deputy Manager Hayley, from our Raised in Bristol at Felix Road Adventure Playground Nursery, who ran the Paris 2024 Marathon Pour Tous (Marathon For All) last weekend alongside participants from over 120 countries!

At Raised In we’re deeply saddened by the recent racist riots in Bristol. We stand against all forms of racism, discrimination and intolerance and as educators seek to teach the children in our care to embrace and celebrate all cultures, backgrounds and religions.

From the very start we have been committed to being a Real Living Wage employer. This has always been important to us as we believe that our brilliant team of passionate early years educators, nurturing your children, deserve to be paid fairly for what they do. The nursery sector has a reputation for being poorly paid, and we wanted to do our bit to try and change the narrative.

We know sometimes it's hard to get inspiration for how to entertain children during the summer months – so we’ve put together another one of our handy Raised in Bristol guides for things to do with kids in and around Bristol this summer! Here are our top five picks…

Are you passionate about early years education and looking for a rewarding nursery job in Bristol? Raised in Bristol isn’t just another childcare provider. As a social enterprise, we’re dedicated to making a positive impact in the community while nurturing the development of the children in our care through child-centred play-led learning.

We’re gearing up for the Southmead Summer Festival on the 13th July, and what better way to re-introduce families new and old to our lovely nursery housed at The Greenway Centre!

We can’t wait to meet lots of families at our light and beautiful day nursery, located to the north of Bristol and a stone’s throw from popular family neighbourhoods of Southmead, Wesbury-on-Trym and Henleaze. During the Southmead Festival you will be able to pop in, see the nursery, and take part in range of fun activities including free face painting!

We sat down with the wonderful Kellie from our city centre nursery in St Pauls and she told us a little bit about her time with Raised in Bristol, her early years practice and what she likes to do when she’s not busy running the nursery…

Exciting news for families in Bristol seeking a quality nursery place for their little ones!
