Review from Danielle B (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I find Holyrood Astley to be an excellent setting in which my daughter has attended for a couple of years. All nursery staff are friendly and welcoming when visiting the nursery to drop off and collect my daughter. I always receive detailed feedback about her day at nursery along with them providing me updates on her progress. I am extremely happy with the care Holyrood provide for my daughter.

Review from Kate L (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son started at Holyrood Astley in October when he was 9 months old. We are really happy with the nursery and the staff are lovely.
I was really nervous and didn't know what to expect as my son is my first child and I wasn't sure how we would both find it. He has taken to nursery life really well and I definitely think it's been beneficial for his development.
I love the fact that he does different activities and even though he is only there for 2 days a week. It's nice to think of him socialising with the other babies.
He seems to love the food served at nursery as it's always on his feedback sheet that he's eaten everything so that makes me very happy.

I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking and I can't wait to see him play with the fabulous outdoor area when he is a little older and more mobile.

Review from Andrew C (Father of Child) published on 18 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has recently started at the holiday club and over the Easter holidays they have been doing forest schools activities which involved toasting marshmallows over the fire pit, he even brought home a bow and arrow that he had made from twigs. It's great to know that my son isn't cooped up inside during the holidays, he loves being outdoors. He can't wait to come back to Holyrood in the summer.

Review from Adele F (Mother of Child) published on 13 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 2 children have been attending Holyrood for the past 12 months. They both settled really well and the staff and management couldn't do enough to reassure and help ease myself and my children into nursery life. They have both come on so much and often talk about their friends and what they have been up to, knowing that my children are well cared for and enjoy going to nursery makes leaving them that much easier. I would definitely recommend Holyrood to all of my friends and family.

Review from Nicola M (Mother of Child) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Before my daughter started Holyrood in 2016, I looked around 8 nurseries and none were comparable to both the nursery itself and also the staff at Holyrood. Of all of the nurseries I viewed, the staff at Holyrood were the only ones who actually spoke to my daughter and actively involved her in what was going on and this made my decision very easy.

From my daughter's first day at Holyrood, I have consistently been happy with the care which she has received. Her initial start was somewhat difficult as she did not settle to nursery life easily, however, the staff did everything they could to reassure both her and me that everything would be fine and it was! My daughter now loves going to nursery and her development since starting there has been amazing. She is a much more confident child than when she started at Holyrood and her personal learning development is immeasurable. I would not hesitate to recommend Holyrood as I cannot think of anything they could do to improve upon what they already do.

Overall Experience

My Granddaughter has been attending Holyrood for the past 2 years, she has absolutely loved her time there and will be sad to leave when she goes to big school. The nursery facilities are fantastic and the garden offers my Granddaughter a huge place to have fun with her friends. Staff and Management are wonderful and very accommodating and I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursery.

Review from Lydia W (Mother of Child) published on 12 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter had her nursery graduation with a little sing song and presentation of an award. It was a lovely set up and the children did really well and listened and rehearsed so well for the day. Staff put together a lovely event with a compilation of nursery slides with past and present memories of play and learning and friendships formed. Lovely words spoken for each child as they proudly collected their certificates in the cap and gowns, a lovely memorable day for both children and parents. It also has to be said that the garden areas are spectacular.

My girls love this nursery, especially the outdoor spaces so lots of room to play! The visit to Windmill Farm with the pre school was fab and the graduation ceremony for the children moving on was great. Lots of time and effort put in by the staff to orchestrate these events. Well done!

Welcoming and smart staff. Nursery has been recently refurbished providing lots of outdoor space for the children and lots of modern interesting toys in the rooms. Staff in the rooms are friendly and helpful and are keen on updating you on your child's progress.

Lovely, friendly nursery in a great location. Staff went above and beyond to settle my little boy into the nursery routine and now he happily waves me off every morning. Great facilities indoors with decor that seeks to bring a touch of the outdoors inside. Huge outdoor space for playing, learning and exploring. Overall, happy baby, happy mummy!

Review from Helen A (Mother of Child) published on 6 July 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been really pleased with the care received and our son's development. The only thing that we miss is the book which used to be filled in once a week with pictures and a summary of what they had done that week. Depending on which staff member is there when we collect him depends if we find out what he has been up to.
