My son has such a lovely time in nursery. His confidence and language has come on leaps and bounds thanks to the nurture, care and great experiences he receives from all the lovely staff. Very happy with the level of care he receives and the feedback during the day thanks to the app.

My son is warmly welcomed everyday and happily goes in the front door with his teachers. He enjoys a variety of activities and his progress with his skills is reported regularly. The nursery provides a varied and tasty menu and my son loves getting stuck into breakfast first thing!

I am so incredibly happy with The Hollies Day Nursery and the positive impact it has had on my daughter. The staff are welcoming, warm, friendly and show genuine care about the children. My daughter has really blossomed since starting, gaining confidence and learning a wide range of life skills, and
key fundamental development. I feel completely confident leaving my daughter in their care and grateful for the engagement and encouragement they provide.

Hollies has been a fantastic setting for our son. They put us at ease from the beginning and were so flexible and helpful when he was ill. He has thrived here since starting and we've seen him develop in leaps and bounds. The staff are brilliant- kind, thoughtful and energetic. I have no doubt that
he's in the best hands here with excellent care.

I can not speak highly enough of the wonderful team at the hollies every single member of the team goes above and beyond with their care and their attention to detail, care, love and commitment to the children. My twins have been attending the hollies for 12 months and I am constantly amazed by the
exceptional environment they provide. My child has additional needs due to prader willi syndrome which includes global leaving delays and specific needs around food and play from day one staff have been incredibly accommodating and understanding. An extra special thank you to my child's key worker who has consistently provided 1-2-1 support, help and vital time with my child. Her dedication and care have made a world of difference in my childs development and happiness. Hollies is a gem and I am so grateful for the positive and nurturing environment they create for my children. Thank you for everything.
