We care about you as an individual and want you to enjoy your work. Join us in rethinking Early Years Education and the way business is done.

Who we are

We set up Raised in Bristol in 2017 because we wanted to find ways to help communities to thrive and prosper in challenging times.

Community spaces and buildings are under pressure due to funding cuts and we were sure that we could find a way to keep some of them open by doing business a bit differently - a social enterprise way.

We run children's nurseries in public buildings, paying market rent to the landlord, providing a resource for local working families and the youngest members of communities.

Then when the nursery makes a profit, we give all of it back to the community it came from - and everyone benefits, not just the families who use the nursery.
