I'd recommend Holyrood to anyone! Staff are caring and attentive, the space is beautiful and the facilities are great. My child has come on leaps and bounds thanks to Holyrood. They enjoy it every day and get so excited when we arrive! 5 starts from us!

Overall Experience
The nursery has been amazing for my son. We moved to the area and was a big change for him. My son has settled well and been here 2.5 years. Really good with updates and have been very supportive with his medical conditions. Staff are very approchable and he has grown to love and respect them all.

Also he loves the meals.

Overall Experience

Myself and my wife really love Holyrood Nursery. Our child learns so much and is excited in the mornings to go, and can't tell us enough about their day when they come home. The staff are all super friendly and really intuitive. They understand how to connect with the kids and they give great feedback on development. We can't recommend it here enough.

I highly recommend Holyrood Nursery. My son has been attending since June 2022 and, in that time, has developed close relationships with the staff. I can tell how much the staff care as well as being friendly and professional. I can tell how much he loves nursery, and he has developed so much in the last six months.

Overall Experience

We have had nothing but a positive experience sending our daughter to Holyrood. When we drop her off, she runs inside excited, and when we pick her up, she is in a great mood. We really can't thank the staff enough for all the effort, support and care they show our child. We couldn't be happier and are very excited for our second child to start there soon!

Review from N S (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The nursery indoors is set up great. Loads of different toys and areas to stimulate my son and he loves it, but the Holyrood Nursery Shaw team with their management and creative ideas help him to grow and learn new skills but also create a comfort zone of trust and care. He really loves it.

The only thing which I would like seeing improved is the outdoor area, in terms of more physically stimulating toys. Like something to ride, climb, swing. Playground things.

Review from S W (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

All the staff are great. They all know my son and take time to greet him in the morning. They are all aware of his needs around his eczema and possible food allergies, which are catered for by offering a meal alternative to anything he can't have. Update his food diary and myself with any foods he has had a reaction to. Time at the end of the day to give a full handover of 3what he has been up to that day. Observations and pictures regularly updated on the app which I love looking at and reading. All staff are fantastic and my son loves going to nursery.

Both my children have attended Holyrood in Shaw. I couldn’t recommend them enough, they get to know my children so well and I feel that they care and have pride in everything they do. Throughout Covid they have been excellent and not let it impact the children as much as they could.

Review from Madaleine M (Mother of Child) published on 23 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All four of my children have attended this nursery and I absolutely love it, as do they. I can go to work and not worry about them because I know they are fully looked after and all their needs are tended to. You can tell all the staff really do care about the children and the children love them all. I highly recommend this nursery! The nursery itself has lots to offer the children, they do plenty of activities with them and my children have learnt so much, my elder two, who are now in school were so prepared for school from learning so much at the nursery.

Review from Catherine H (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has been with Holyrood Shaw since she was 11-months-old and has just joined the preschool room. She loves nursery and all of the staff who have created a nurturing environment and encouraged her development throughout. The various nursery rooms are spacious with lots of different activities for the children to explore. My daughter loves the outdoor space and activities they do outside. The staff and management are professional and have been fantastic throughout. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Review from Lucinda O (Mother of Child) published on 19 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Holyrood is a fantastic nursery, my two oldest children aged 16 and four attended and my youngest ages two, and three and a half months currently attend. The care and support the children receive is second to none, my two-year-old gets upset when she can't go in. My youngest has just started and the support and reassurance from all the staff has been invaluable and helped ensure a smooth transition. I would highly highly recommend Holyrood to every parent, it is amazing.

Review from Gemma R (Mother of Child) published on 17 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been coming to this nursery for a number of years and is now in the preschool class. He has transitioned from each room with no issues, having frequent and regular visits to his new room and new staff. My son settled in well to each room because the staff are so good at what they do. They do a variety of activities and crafts with the children which often means you have little keepsakes to take home. My son has had numerous positive relationships with staff and often comes home talking about them. The nursery has also facilitated my son to form peer friendships. The nursery are excellent in keeping parents informed of everything that is going on at nursery and will often ring if they need to speak to you for any reason. My son enjoys attending nursery and is achieving his developmental goals with the support of the excellent management and staff at Holyrood Shaw.

This is a fantastic nursey. My daughter only left due to moving house and was too far to travel; I was gutted. The staff are amazing, and she always had a smile on her face at nursey. I would recommend to everyone I know. Thank you for everything you did for her.
