The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for Holyrood Day Nursery Shaw is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 61 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Holyrood Day Nursery Shaw in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.826 for Holyrood Day Nursery Shaw is calculated as follows: ( (609 Excellents x 5) + (95 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 719 Ratings = 4.826
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.542 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holyrood Day Nursery Shaw is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 16.6 positive Reviews (83 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 9 Reviews ÷ 16.6 Target = 0.542
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Holyrood Day Nursery Shaw has a Review Score of 9.4 (9.368)

Holyrood Shaw is a brilliant nursery. They are always friendly, polite and flexible. My son loves it here and so do I. If ever I've had a problem/concern the manager addresses it straight away. My son has learnt so much at this nursery and he's blossomed here. I have even recommended the nursery to my friend who also takes her son here and she loves it too.

My son attends the pre-school room and has settled in very well. He is also eager to go to nursery daily. He enjoys the different activities each day. All the staff are very friendly and caring and always inform us about the daily activities and food my son has had. The environment in the nursery is so clean and welcoming. A big 'well done' to the manager and her team for the excellent support, care and the improvements that are made.

My son has been at Holyrood since September 2017 and hasn't had any issues. He was under referral for autism due to several red flags at 18 months and thanks to the help of the room leader, who stepped in to help voluntarily, he is much better at communicating. I have to thank the managers for being cracking and another room leader for helping him settle into it so well.
All of the staff are amazing, happy and smiley. They are truly great with my son. He has learnt so much, I am forever grateful.

Excellent caring staff who are playing a huge part in helping our son grow into a bright, caring young man.
Our son has been at Holyrood since he was 8months old and he is now 3years old and remains very happy and settled.
The nursery is lacking in its 'additional activities'. They used to have dance lessons, visits from outsiders and regular trips out.
Despite huge fee increases these things no longer happen which is a real downside.

They respect my wishes as a parent and I fully trust them with my children. I also have a son in babies and he always holds his arms out for staff to get him as soon as we arrive.

I find the staff at Holyrood very helpful and understanding.
My 13 year old was in the first year at Holyrood Shaw and there are many of the same staff which I find really good. They all ask about my daughter still - which shows the connection they have with the children. The staff have really helped my son with his speech when we were concerned. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.
The room leader in toddlers once took it upon herself to go out and buy nappies when my son had run out until I replaced them the next day.

I like that this nursery employs both male and female key staff. There is a good use of sensory/messy/art play, which my child loves. The menu always sounds delicious and the staff do a good job of encouraging independent self-feeding in the younger children. There is a good variety fo physical and imaginative play provided. The staff communicate well with the parents and build good supportive relationships with the children. We are potty training at the moment and have appreciated the keyworkers coordinating with us on this.

The staff at 'Holyrood Day Nursery Shaw' are faultless and a real credit to the nursery. I send both of my children here and can honestly say they both thoroughly enjoy it.

My son has an ileostomy bag (stoma) and the girls at Holyrood have always been nothing short of amazing with the care he requires. Thank you so much to every single one of you!
You made my unsociable child, sociable! :)

My son has just graduated today from Holyrood Shaw and looking back on his time spent there is am so pleased I chose to send him, he has made massive steps in every way and is now more than ready for his next move to big school. The staff are brilliant just so friendly and have made my little boy feel so welcome. I would definitely recommend Holyrood to anyone and will look forward to sending my youngest in a couple of years.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Suzanne D (Mother of Child) on Thursday 23 June 2016. Relates to June 2016.
My daughter started at this nursery at 6 months old. Like every mum with their child starting nursery I was a bag of nerves. I was soon put at ease when I realised just how amazing all the staff here really are.
I have never had a single issue and I am updated regularly with the progress of my child and I, myself, also have a brilliant relationship with all the staff here.
My daughter adores every single one of the girls here, and so do I. I now see them as an extended family and so does my daughter. I also know the feeling is mutual, and they adore her too.
I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. If you want a fun, caring and extremely loving environment for your child to learn and play then this is definitely the nursery for you !!!
