Day Nurseries Owned by Thrive Childcare and Education in Greater Manchester

Communication is fantastic as well. I am always kept fully informed about what my sons have done throughout the day and how they are progressing. Knowing my boys are in such loving, safe, and enthusiastic hands gives me complete peace of mind as I go to work. Thank you for everything you do!

This is my second time using this nursery. My eldest son went through toddler room to pre school and he loved coming here, when I drop my youngest off now he likes to come back and see all the staff. They all feel like family.

My youngest is currently settling in, and he is loving it. All the staff including management are approachable, kind and absolute stars. I trust them all completely.

You are all wonderful, keep doing what you do because us parents and children think you are all amazing. Thank you for everything you have done, and are doing now, for both my children.

We moved my daughter to Corner House Nursery earlier this year after some concerns around her safety and wellbeing not being prioritised at her previous nursery. We have had the complete opposite experience here.

All staff were incredibly helpful and kind when my daughter was first settling in, and now months later when I have had to raise some concerns (none of which were the nurseries fault) they have been met with compassion, empathy and very quick solutions.

Lauren the manager and Isobel our daughters key worker have gone above and beyond in recent weeks giving us as parents huge reassurance and peace of mind whilst our daughter is attending nursery which has been invaluable.

We are incredibly grateful for the care they provide to our daughter and so glad we made the move.

My little boy started at Holyrood in February 2026 and has been in both Baby 2 and the Toddler room. I honestly couldn't ask for better care! He started with no real routine and wasn't used to being around children his age. Now he's such a happy, confident and independent little boy, and nursery has played a huge part in that.

The staff put so much love, patience and effort into everything they do. I love how much he learns through play and activities, and especially how his communication and social skills have come on. He has made so many lovely little friendships too!

From the manager Zoe, to Savannah and everyone in the rooms, we know the team so well and always feel welcome. I can speak to anyone about anything, and questions or concerns are always taken seriously. There's no better feeling than knowing he's safe, happy and genuinely cared for. He comes home smiling and always has a little summary of his day for us!

I can't thank you all Holyrood nursery enough!

Our son spent a year at this nursery and he has loved every minute. The staff have been so attentive, patient and supportive of his needs. Because of this he has developed so much confidence. Our son also has a health condition, along with a couple of allergies and staff have been so considerate, always keeping us informed, ensuring his wellbeing is taken care of, which definitely helps as first time parents! The only reason our son is no longer there is because we have relocated as a family but we will look back fondly on this nursery and what they have provided for child. We are very grateful of the service and the kind compassionate staff members who helped support our son and provide an excellent start to his early years. Many thanks! V

We've had such a lovely experience at this nursery. The staff in the Baby & Tots room have been incredibly caring, kind and supportive, always making sure our little boy felt safe, happy and settled.

Everyone at the nursery has been so welcoming, from the staff who cared for him each day to those who greeted us with a smile at the door. They have supported not only our little boy but us as parents too, and we're so grateful for all the kindness and care they've shown us.

We couldn't have asked for a more lovely nursery and will miss everyone so much

We have watched our son thrive at this nursery over the past two years. Starting at one year old can feel daunting for parents, but the caring and professional staff made the transition seamless. Now nearly three, he looks forward to going in every morning. We love the regular updates and communication, as well as the wonderful variety of daily activities. Thank you to the whole team for taking such great care of him!

I want to say a massive thank you to everyone in the baby room for helping my stage 10 clinger of a child settle in in his own time, and I cannot explain how the little comments about what they have learnt about him make me feel so much better about leaving him at nursery. You can really tell they all try to get to know the babies as little individuals and even celebrating the small wins has been massive for us!

You never really know what you've signed up for until you start but I can say for definite that this was the right nursery for him! Thank you to the whole team for everything.

10/10 - I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. The staff go above and beyond for every child and the whole environment feels like a family. Both of my children attended and one is on the spectrum. They picked up on his additional needs so quickly and, without them, I genuinely believe we could have waited years for the help, referrals and support he needed. What makes them even more special is that their support didn't stop when my children left - they have continued to help whenever I've needed them. They also made the transition into school so much easier. My only wish is that I could have kept my children there forever, and my only regret is not finding them sooner so my older children could have experienced it too. I'll miss every single member of staff and will forever be grateful for everything they've done for my children and our family. Please continue doing what you do you make such a difference.

I cannot express enough how happy I am to have found Kindergarten Media City Nursery. It truly is the best place for my son!

The nursery is fantastic. I love the beautifully designed spaces, engaging activities and wonderful garden area. But what makes it truly special is the incredible team. Everyone is genuinely caring and supportive, and they have done an amazing job helping my son settle in.

After a difficult experience at a previous nursery where he never settled, I was so impressed by the clear and structured settling-in plan here. The difference has been incredible! I can see how happy he is every day, and he has already learned so much.

A special mention to Jade and Kelsy, who are always smiling and create such a positive, calm environment. Steph and Kirsty are also extremely friendly, transparent and always helpful and responsive.

I am so grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent. Thank you so much!

What a fantastic nursery. The staff have warm hearts and big smiles alongside professionalism, my youngest has just finished after being there from a baby and I cannot fault them! Would highly recommend

Thank you for everything Holyrood Salford royal we would recommend you to anyone.

Highly recommend! We recently moved to the area and had to transition our 3-year-old to a new nursery. The team have been so lovely, patient and caring and made the change much easier than we expected. Isabelle in the preschool room goes above and beyond for our toddler, and Lauren the manager is incredibly organised, approachable and accommodating. I'm always amazed that staff from different rooms know each child by name and remember the parents too - it makes the nursery feel so personal. The nursery is spotless, each age group has its own age appropriate outdoor area, and the car park makes drop-off and pick-up really easy. We're so happy we found this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Luna started in the baby room when she was 11 months old and we can't thank Sally, Hannah and the team enough for all that they have done. Sally and Hannah in particular gave us both the confidence to go to work without having any concerns or hesitation about leaving Luna. We knew she was in safe hands and Luna loves them both. She took a liking to them both very quickly (despite me saying she doesn't like cuddles when she started). You can tell they genuinely care about her. They were always happy to take the time to speak to you at the end of the day and tell you about Luna's day. You also never felt like you were bothering them if you rang up to see how she was. We really appreciate everything they have done for Luna over the past 6 months, she has grown so much and we are grateful for the development she has had whilst at the nursery.

We have been so happy with our daughter's time at nursery. She started in Baby One and Hannah, Molly and Sally have been amazing with her. She absolutely loves going and comes home happy and tired after a busy day of activities. She especially loves playing in the outdoor area. She has developed so much in such a short space of time, and we notice something new every week. She is moving up to Baby Two next week, and we know she will continue to thrive there, especially as Molly is moving up with her. All of the staff, including the cleaners, cooks and managers, are so lovely and welcoming. They always greet you when you walk in, know your child by name and treat them as individuals. We also love how they keep us updated on her day and everything she has been doing, eating and sleeping. We couldn't be happier with the care she receives.

My twins attend Holyrood nursery they are both autistic with global development delay and are both non verbal. I have noticed a difference in their confidence from when they first started up until now they really enjoy nursery and they have come on so much! staff are always friendly and helpful and my twins get on great with the staff. I wish I had put my twins in nursery at a earlier age but my anxiety was too bad at the time. great nursery for babies and toddlers to attend.

From the the first show round my husband and I loved this nursery and felt totally at ease when our twins started here at 14 months old. They talk about their wonderful teachers at home - Charlotte, Amber, Laura and Stacey and have made lots of little friends in their class who they talk about too. They always come home so happy (and tired!) having done a whole range of fun activities. I love the huge outdoor area it's perfect for their learning and when they're a bit older they'll love the forest school. The food they make for them is all homemade and it is rare my boys don't eat the whole lot - it sounds super yummy! Every member of staff we have come into contact with on drop offs/pick ups around the nursery whether they are our boys teachers or not know them well and are so friendly and warm. The boys have come on leaps and bounds since they started here, we couldn't be happier with this nursery.

What really stands out is how invested they are in him as an individual. They know him so well, speak so warmly about him and genuinely celebrate his little achievements and milestones. All staff seem to care so much about the children and always wave and smile when anyone comes in and out. Most importantly, we feel completely safe and reassured knowing he is in their care. The love and dedication they show him means so much to us as parents. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better start to nursery life!

Very caring staff, warm atmosphere- all staff friendly and helped our child feel comfortable and safe so quickly after starting nursery. You can really tell your child is known and cared for in an individual way - we are so glad that our child has been so happy since starting!

We are genuinely going to miss everyone so much when my daughter leaves next week.
