A really lovely nursery. Absolutely brilliant staff that have worked with me regarding anything I was trying to implement/teach/train at home. Needs taken into consideration. Flexible in a crisis.

The staff are what really makes this place unique - all so friendly, caring and supportive. It's greatly reassuring to know that our children are...
Fantastic comms, especially feedback at the end of each day, there's never any detail spared about the day's activities. The nursery management has also been fantastic - from initial enquiries onwards, they've bent over backwards to help fit around our work schedule. Our girls will be very sad to eventually leave - I can't imagine a better start in the world of school.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear that your little one loves coming to the nursery and enjoys the activities planned for them.

My little one absolutely loves Holly Corner. All of the staff there are amazing. They take the time to get to know each child individually taking time out to remember their likes and dislikes.

My daughter has attended Holly Corner for 2 years now and has progressed from badgers to hedgehogs and now to squirrels. Since joining nursery she has developed so much. I remember when she was around 2 and never really counted before when she then came home, stood in a corner and counted to 10, then shouting ready or not here I come. The staff at Holly Corner really care about the child's development. They always take the time to fill you in on the day's events and even advise if they see something. It's like a family, our daughter will move off to school next September which Holly Corner will have prepared her, and us for. It will be sad to take her out but they have done an amazing job of setting her up in life.
Thank you for your lovely review! We are delighted to hear about your daughter's progress and the nurturing environment she's found at Holly Corner. It's wonderful to know that the staff's dedication has made a meaningful impact on her development.
I have had no complaints and will be sad when my son leaves.

My little girl has been at Holly Corner since she was 9 months and is now almost 2 and she loves it! The staff have always gone above and beyond to make her feel settled and to make me feel confident in the fact her happiness is really important to them. A special mention to one staff member in particular who has always gone the extra mile to help my little one settle and grow whilst there and she has certainly done both of these things. I couldn't recommend the nursery enough.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad your little girl has enjoyed her time at Holly Corner. We appreciate your positive feedback and are happy to hear that she has felt settled and grown with us.
