Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We love the nursery, out little girl settled so well due to staff and has now been attending for over a year. Staff and management are friendly, helpful and great with all the children. Our little girl has learnt so much and has developed well, thanks to the staff. I would and have recommended the nursery.
It's not the cheapest in the area, but definitely the right nursery for us.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have found that there are some exceptional staff members throughout Holyrood Day Nursery, particularly in toddler room 1. They have a great understanding of the children's needs, even intuitive understanding. I feel my son is not only cared for but loved by the staff in toddler 1. I have yet to experience
the staff members but, so far my experience has been great.
I also feel that the nursery manager is excellent too. She values what parents think, and she is always looking to improve on how the nursery is run.

My child's learning has developed dramatically. Noticeable improvements around alphabet and sounds. She is really happy in nursery and is clearly well cared for, and all her needs are understood and met. The staff are very friendly and communicate brilliantly with parents, and the children are happy
and thriving.

My daughter started in September, and she absolutely loves it, she’s so happy to go in the mornings and absolutely loves the staff. She comes home at night shouting the staff names and she has come on loads since starting. Can’t thank the staff enough with helping her settle especially the toddler room
staff. Would recommend this nursery to anyone.

From the moment I walked into the nursery, I knew this was the right nursery for my child. It is a very friendly, homely nursery and all the staff and management are so lovely and friendly. The managers made me feel very at ease and are very caring and knowledgeable. My son settled very quickly and
is very happy here and I know he is in good, trusted hands and is happy and safe.
I couldn't recommend the staff and nursery enough.

Review from Annabelle W (Mother of Child) published on 24 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a first time mum the whole idea of preschool/nursery was alien to me - yet from the first email enquiry/telephone conversation, right through to the settling in days/starting at Holyrood, every single member of staff has put me at ease by, not only being friendly and professional, but seeing how
they interact with the children and each other. I viewed all the 'big name' nurseries in the area when my son was born, but none gave me the homely feeling that Holyrood did, and in the end, it was that feeling that won. It may not be as 'finely polished' as some places, but what it does have is a fantastic outside area that the kids use in all weathers, it has an incredible team of staff (young and old) and it is very much a 'take me as you find me' preschool which that meant I could view the nursery with and without my family and it wasn't set up for my arrival. My son has blossomed since joining Holyrood, the support and nurture he receives is apparent in all of his new developing skills. I never hear unhappy children when I'm there and that is reassuring in itself - it is a Happy Place!

My son's attended from baby right thru to pre-school. he absolutely loves it- the place is like home from home! The staff are amazing and I know my child's having the best care whilst I'm at work. Every key worked has been so supportive towards him and the activities that are prepared for the children
are lovely. Brilliant nursery overall!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Prestwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.833 for Holyrood Nursery Prestwich is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.833
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.816 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holyrood Nursery Prestwich is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.816
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
