About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

My little girl goes the Holyrood Day Nursery and she is in preschool she is loving it in there as she has come on leaps and bounds since she has moved up. They do loads of lovely activities with the children. The gardens here are very big and all the children love going outside in the cars and the other toys when I pick up my little girl. All of the staff are all very friendly and are very happy to help you if you have a problem or have any questions. All of the management team are very happy to help you with any questions that you may have.
My son loves coming to nursery and always has a smile on his face. All the staff are great with him, he loves the outdoor area a lot, as there is a lot to play with. He especially loves a bug hunt with the forest school teacher. I wouldn't want him to go to any other nursery.

While my sister attended the setting she loved every minute of her time there. She was welcomed every day with a big smile and this was very comforting. The staff and management team did all they could to support us with any query that we had.

The eldest especially loves forest school and the teacher. He is very energetic and provides children with fun outdoor activities whilst providing them with valuable understanding of nature.

My son started at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley in August after being with a childminder for 6 months. He has come on leaps and bounds after starting at the nursery. He loves spending time in the huge outdoor area and is always happy and smiling when we drop him off and pick him up. The staff in the toddler room are always very friendly and informative. The nursery is clean and presentable. The meals they provide my son sound delicious and healthy! Thank you to Holyrood Day Nursery Astley for being the best!

The staff have spent time with my son getting to know him and have assigned him a key worker based on who my son struck up a bond with.
My son loves going to nursery, often asking for the staff at home. He runs in in the mornings and gives the staff a cuddle and then happily waves me off with a kiss. At home time we often "sneak" in to see what our son is getting up to. He is always happy and is included in activities. We have witnessed the staff interacting with our son, and they are all firm but very, very fair and loving towards the children.
We only wished we had moved our son to this nursery sooner!!
We have one daughter currently at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley and one just left for school, and they both love it. The youngest actually asks to go at the weekend! The staff are brilliant, very attentive to the individual needs of the children and, most importantly, genuinely caring. I know my...
We have one daughter currently at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley and one just left for school, and they both love it. The youngest actually asks to go at the weekend! The staff are brilliant, very attentive to the individual needs of the children and, most importantly, genuinely caring. I know my little ones are well looked after. The outdoor space is especially good, and the forest school sessions have been a favourite. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending!

The staff are the best and the facilities are exceptional. I reluctantly took my daughter out once her big brother started school so they could be closer together, but have recently moved her back to Holyrood as the level of the support received from the whole team is irreplaceable. I felt very fortunate and relieved that I could get her back in.
This nursery has been amazing for my son. I have no doubt about sending my second son there when his mother returns to work, after maternity leave. The staff are extremely helpful, the site is amazing with its large outdoor areas and the management team are so caring and helpful.

We found the look around very informative and she was able to answer all of our questions without any problem. The staff were interacting with our daughter and she was soon running around with the other children. The outdoor space alone was amazing and we have made the decision to move our daughter to Holyrood, she can't wait to play with the rabbits.
I cannot recommend or praise this nursery enough! They are absolutely outstanding. My daughter started this nursery when she was just 5 months old, she was the youngest baby and I was anxious about leaving her at first, I need not have worried at all.

I cannot recommend or praise this nursery enough! They are absolutely outstanding. My daughter started this nursery when she was just 5 months old, she was the youngest baby and I was anxious about leaving her at first, I need not have worried at all. They are brilliant, my daughter loves it here, she arrives with a smile and leaves with a smile, the staff are always friendly, caring and I know that they genuinely love their jobs and those children in their care. You can see it on their faces when we arrive and when I collect her. They take time to fill you in on your child’s day, I love the diary of their day I get each day filling me in on her diet, activities and sleep times. I am completely 100% satisfied and know that I chose the best nursery. She’s coming on leaps and bounds and I just can’t thank Holyrood Day Nursery Astley enough for taking such good care of my precious daughter. Keep up the good work.

I would highly recommend Holyrood Astley. My little boy loves going to nursery. The staff go above and beyond with all the children. We are always kept up to date with what is going on within the nursery, what offers are for extra sessions etc. The parents evenings are very informative. They offer forest school, which is a fantastic opportunity for young children. The staff are a credit to Holyrood.

I have 2 boys that feel very welcomed and cared for at this nursery. The staff are incredibly attentive and flexible, often going above and beyond for their youngsters. Having experienced other settings, I can say the meals, facilities and communication are second to none. The huge outside space boasts different levels of adventure including an enchanting 'forest school'. There is a real family feel at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley and I know my eldest will truly miss the staff and opportunities for fun in such a positive environment.
