Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At first, I thought a nursery with a cheaper fee would have lower quality of service compared to the expensive ones, but I was wrong. Holyrood Nursery Salford is totally a wonderful nursery. The staffs are really professional and always try to deliver the best that they can. They are also flexible in
terms of managing the slots which my wife finds it is really helpful especially when she is a postgraduate student and sometimes her timetable has to change depending on her supervisor's availability.
In short, I would really recommend Holyrood Nursery Salford. Excellent staffs, affordable fees, couldn't be better. Thanks Holyrood!

My daughter and I love this nursery, she's always happy to go there in the mornings. She has learnt a lot over the past months. Nursery teachers and managers are very easy to talk to and always pleasant toward us and others.

Holyrood Salford has been a great support whilst our daughter has been settling in and she’s settled in just fine. She loves it.
We really like the fact that a lot of play is outside where kids can be kids and get the fresh air they need.
Our daughter skips in and comes home smiling telling us all
about her day ‘at work’.
We feel content and reassured leaving our daughter there with such brilliant and highly qualified staff.

Fantastic home from home nursery! Staff are brilliant and treat all children equally. My son is obviously well cared for and loves to go to nursery. Activities are frequent and are very development focused whilst remaining fun and engaging. Staff are more than happy to take time out to speak to you.
Car parking is very convenient. Variety of food served is fantastic. The garden space is amazing! I couldn't ask for more from a nursery.

Review from Zoe L (Mother of Child) published on 24 April 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child enjoys going to Holyrood, and we are happy with our decision to send him there. He loves being outdoors and the garden facilities at Holyrood are excellent. The children spend a lot of time outdoors and have a great range of toys and activities. The staff are friendly and adored by the children.
Staffing is consistent in each room which means they know my child well. New activities are planned every day which are creative and exciting for the children. My child enjoys his day, learns a lot and has fun. The managers are approachable and know all parents/children by name. Safeguarding is clear to see - entry into the nursery is controlled and staff know the policies e.g. around medication. We are kept well informed via updates from staff, text messages, letters and termly newsletters. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My eldest daughter attended this nursery five years ago, so when my new addition was ready for nursery, I knew where to send her. Always friendly, clean, good environment, I feel 100% happy to go off to work and leave my daughter. She is always happily playing when I return for her and I love my little
updates that I receive via email.

My son has been going to Holyrood Salford for about nine months and I am so pleased with the standard of care he is getting. The staff are amazing, so friendly and eager to help. My little boy was a little unsure at first and clingy, but the girls were so good with him and he has settled in so well
now. I can’t praise them enough, I’m so glad I picked Holyrood to look after him, I can tell he’s so happy here.

What a fantastic nursery! I was so nervous when trying to find a suitable nursery for my little girl. From day 1 the staff have been amazing! I'm so glad my little girl goes to this one. The staff are so friendly and always greet her. They listen to anything I put forward to them i.e., encourage her
to walk, toys that she enjoys playing with etc., these are to help her with her development. I would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.! I don't say this enough, but thank you so much for looking after, caring and playing with my girl every day! This goes to all the staff!

My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery. She is thriving and enjoys all the activities and daily structure.
If I ask the team for any help with potty training or using creams etc., they are extremely helpful.
I would highly recommend Holyrood.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started here in May 2017 and has loved coming every day since. The staff have been able to identify and meet my son's additional needs in every way possible. They are all very welcoming and cheerful and this makes it easier to leave him at nursery. I love that I am able to access his observations
and developmental progress from home whenever I wish too. The management team show excellent leadership skills and this is reflected in the staff attitudes within the nursery setting. My son comes home happy and content from nursery every day and this makes it all more worthwhile.

Fantastic settling in period, addressing the needs of my son perfectly. I see my son's progression through his learning journal, which is updated each week with pictures and information.
The staff are kind, caring and so personable.
I know he is in great hands and has a wonderful time. Thank you

My daughter has attended Holyrood since September 2016 and I couldn't be more happy with the service I get from the staff team and management. My daughter has come on in leaps and bounds, her development has increased dramatically and she is coming home with new words every week. I get a brilliant daily
report and the general care is fantastic. The staff team involve me with everything, down to showing me her development book, to show me where she's up to and any additional help she may need. I only have great opinions of this nursery. My child is well taken care of and I feel happy at work.

Staff are very friendly and supportful. I also have a good relationship with my child's key person - she's like part of the family. I am told by my child's key person how her day has gone from the minute I drop her off to the minute I pick her up. My child is always happy and talks about nursery at
home which makes me feel like I am not missing out on her growing up.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.790)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.790) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Salford 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.790 for Holyrood Nursery Salford is calculated as follows: ( (247 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.79
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holyrood Nursery Salford is based on 24 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
