We are always happy to send our daughter to Holyrood Nursery, as since starting we have seen her confidence grow and she has developed her skills really well.
The staff who work with her are really friendly and patient. As well as this, we like that the nursery keeps in regular contact and keep us
updated with regular newsletters.

We are really pleased with the care our son is currently receiving at Holyrood. The staff are very friendly and have a great bond with our staff. They always provide feedback on our sons day which is really important to me and my husband.


Since starting at Holyrood, our son has gained so much confidence

and always comes away from a day at nursery very happy and content.

Lovely nursery. My daughter is looked after and enjoys her time here. I have hardly ever left her crying. Always smiles when I leave and when I pick her up. Thank you all.

Very friendly, supportive and caring nursery. My son loves attending the nursery and I've never had a single concern for his welfare or development. The staff are always keen to get updates from his speech therapy so they can support him with this. In-depth parent evenings and reports are very welcome.
A variety of activities are provided and a positive approach to outdoor play.

My daughter has been attending Holyrood Nursery since June 2016. As a first time mother, I was nervous. My daughter settled really well and always gets excited when she sees her nursery. The staff here are excellent and my daughter happily goes to staff and enjoys her time there. The care and dedication
the staff have is outstanding and would highly recommend.

My son loves coming to nursery here and has come on so much since attending nursery. The girls are so good with him and I love seeing pictures of all the things he has done throughout the day online and on the walls at nursery. It makes going to work so much easier.
Thank you.

Holyrood Day Nursery is a very welcoming place for my son, he's developed and settled really well. When my son was unwell in July, I got a prompt phone call to let me know as well as an update later before I could pick him up. This shows their dedication to the well-being of the kids under their care.
My son is very happy in the nursery, enjoys all activities and the nutritional food provided.

My daughter has attended 'Holyrood Day Nursery Salford' for quite some time now and I can honestly say that there has never been any doubt in my mind that she has not been looked after and cared for to the highest standard. The progress my daughter has made whilst attending is amazing and I can't thank
all the girls enough. My daughter has made special bonds with numerous members of staff and each and every one of the girls that work there are amazing in every way and I can't thank them enough for the love and care they show.

My son has recently started at Holyrood Day Nursery Salford and I feel the staff have worked incredibly hard to help him settle and to get to know him. All staff members are lovely, both to my son but also to his upset mum! They give me a thorough run down of his day when I collect him, detailing his
activities of the day, sleep, food and nappy details. I was also encouraged to phone when we'd had a particularly hard drop off for my own peace of mind.

Our experience of this nursery has been excellent. The staff are caring, attentive and professional. Both our girls are thriving in their environments and love their time they spend at the nursery. The management is excellent, with approachable, experienced and flexible senior leaders who are clearly
passionate about the job and children.

Review from Duncan B (Father of Child) published on 12 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our son really enjoys going to nursery and always has lots of good things to say about his time there. He's always tired when we pick him up as he spends all day doing things that keep him interested and entertained. He really likes all the staff there, and they are all extremely helpful and friendly.
The management listens to what parents tell them, which is evidenced by the number of changes that have been made recently. These include, a newly designed outdoor area which is fab, different themed rooms i.e construction room, story telling, messy room etc and the children can move freely between the rooms which allow them to really develop their interpersonal skills.
Overall we're delighted that we chose Holyrood and I think our son is too!!

Brilliant nursery, excellent staff. My little boy loves it here. Some times he doesn't even want to come home!! The girls are great with all the children. I love all the updates through the online journal and hearing about my boys day each time I pick him up. I completely trust that he is cared for
here - and I'm a very anxious mum! I'd recommend to anyone! They've done lots of improvements lately too. All rooms are fantastic and safe. The meals are brilliant too. He eats better than I do! I can always smell something lovely being cooked as we walk him in! I almost want to ask for a packed lunch!

My 23 month old has been at Holyrood Salford for 1 year. During that time the team have helped him reach key milestones such as crawling, walking and now talking.
The well equipped facilities allows the children to complete creative and messy play with others safely. We are kept updated and involved
using the online portal.
The team are brilliant and he has a wonderful bond with his key person.
The team at Holyrood have help my little one become a happy and confident toddler.
Thank you.

This nursery have helped my 3 year old come on leaps and bounds. He has developed more self confidence and has developed more of his basic educational due to the staff members encouraging this. I would recommend them as they influence children's good behaviours as well as encouraging the children to
explore and develop on their skills.

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.
