Thrive Prestwich Village

Holyrood has been a good nursery for my 2 children since they were 9 months old.

We have put both our young daughters in Holyrood and we have always been extremely pleased with the care they have received. I think the biggest compliment we can give Holyrood is that when we drop the girls off we don't have a moments worry for the rest of the day that they're being anything other than wonderfully cared for.

My little boy has been at nursery for about 5 months now and he has developed so well, the staff are amazing and I could not ask for a better team to look after my child.

My son used to go to the nursery and my daughter attends now. Both are very happy and my son made lots of friends and was sad to leave. My only complaint is that clothes often get stained and ruined. I'd prefer messy play to be done with a change of old clothes.

Staff are great and very friendly. Only issue would be that daughter came home a few times with poo in her knickers. I was worried about sending my daughter to a nursery at beginning (worried mother!) but she has blossomed amazingly. She is a confident little girl and loves pre-school. Thank you.

The facilities at my son's learning hours was fab. All the staff took time out (not in working hours) to entertain with a bouncy castle, face painting, homemade cakes, a disco and much more.

My son has come on leaps and bounds in his confidence and knowledge since attending Holyrood. His maths skills have improved and his ability to write his name so neatly has really impressed me, especially as he refuses to do writing at home. He loves all the teachers and always comes home happy. I am slightly sad that he is leaving to go to school as he loves it so much here. Thanks for everything over the past 18 months here.

Since attending 'Holyrood Day Nursery Prestwich' at the age of two, my daughter has come on loads in every aspect of learning. This is all down to the staff at 'Holyrood Day Nursery Prestwich' and the fun, safe learning environment they provide. All the staff are easy to talk to and treat every child as individuals.

Sending my child here has been a pleasure. all the staff have complete dedication to all children. My daughter's physical, intellectual, emotional and social needs were all met. The staff are happy, smiley and friendly and leave me feeling confident that my daughter is in safe hands. The manager is lovely and so are all the staff. The nursery is clean and well-equipped.

Everyone is very friendly and I feel my daughter is well looked after. She is given lots of learning experiences and activities.

My daughter goes to this nursery, starting at the age of 2 the staff were amazing with her and really settled her in. She has come on so much and is now going into pre school at the nursery in September. One particular member of staff has now moved into pre school and my daughter loves her to pieces, always talks about her and her new fiends. The manager is lovely and my daughter really likes her and always guesses if she will answer the door to us.

My daughter started the pre-school when she was just coming up to her third birthday. Despite the usual tears upon leaving me she has thrived and her confidence and abilities have grown and improved. There is a great accessible outside play area at the pre-school that the children use all the time and my daughter also loves the Messy Room. She has formed strong and trusting relationships. The members of nursery staff that she is emotionally attached to are always on hand for her comfort and reassurance. Staff interact and enhance my daughter's learning in a very caring way. Any concerns that I've had have been listened to and taken seriously and I can see how the pre-school is improving and working hard to be the best. I feel very happy leaving my daughter there. She is stimulated and loved and cared for by a strong and genuinely dedicated team.

My son has spent 10 weeks at Holyrood Day and I couldn't be happier with the excellent service they have given us. It was the first time he has been in a nursery environment and I was very concerned how he would adapt as he wasn't used to other children's company. The nursery staff were amazing. They put my mind at rest and took the time to get to know my son and understand him. In 10 short weeks his confidence has grown and he looks forward to going. There is a real friendly, family atmosphere and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

My son goes to the nursery and he absolutely loves it, always looks forward to going and seeing all the staff, they are so good with my son and it puts a parent at ease well done to the deputy manager, you have made the nursery a better place. I will always recommend the nursery to any parent.

Really happy with my choice of nursery. Lovely staff who are always so friendly. Lovely outdoor play area with lots of play equipment. Clean and spacious pre-school area. My daughter absolutely loves the food and much prefers it to my cooking. Loved the fact they did a Christmas play. Overall a really friendly, homely environment.

This nursery is brilliant. My twins go and they love it!! It is a very friendly and homely nursery. The staff are really nice and professional. Brilliant nursery on a whole would strongly recommend it to anyone.

I would definitely recommend this nursery the staff are lovely.

Helpful and friendly staff. Daily sheet of what your child has done is very helpful. Food is excellent and you can view the 4 week food rota to see what is being served. Both my children have thrived being at this nursery and I would highly recommend to anyone.

After a rather negative experience at a different nursery I was extremely anxious about continuing to place my child in nurseries at all. From the very first contact with Holyrood's Nursery manager I felt more confident. We were welcomed so warmly and as soon as I entered the nursery we felt comfortable warm and at home. My child quickly took to the very nurturing staff and had lots of cuddles from them to reassure and make my child feel safe and wanted. We love this nursery and feel Holyrood should be the ones with outstanding ofsted reports. Every effort is made to open doors promptly in the morning while we all rush to work. Staff are always warm and friendly. They are empathetic to how overwhelmed I can be and help me so much by making sure my child is taken for a cuddle as soon as we arrive. My child leaves very happy after having a fun filled everyday, plenty of lovely home made food and a note to tell me all about it. The manager is very organised. Always on hand (hands on) she remains In the building itself and is just lovely. The staff are brilliant with the children. Friendly, loving, caring and professional. My child is never left wet, hungry or without love and attention. Activities are varied and every day is different. Plenty of outside activity weather permitting. Snacks and water available throughout the day. Most importantly the nursery is safe and like home. I can go to work feeling confident that my child is being really well looked after. I can now relax and concentrate on my day. Thank you Holyrood for everything you do for us.
