Holly House Day Nursery

If there are any incidents were are informed straight away with a report to sign off which is always descriptive of what happened and what treatment was given. I am reassured knowing when she is upset she has plenty of cuddles.

My daughter enjoys coming here, she has made lots of friends and has grown a lot in her confidence. She has made lots of progress in a short space of time, and I think this is due to how hands-on the staff are with her, especially her key worker. The staff are always friendly when dropping off/collecting. Management is helpful when explaining processes. Thank you!

My son loves the nursery and has lots of friends. The staff are amazing with him and really friendly when we pick him up and drop him off; he loves the nursery staff so much. We like getting updates on the app so we can see what he has been up to in the day, which is nice to see him enjoying his day. The staff regularly communicate when running low on necessities or if he has any bumps. My son is very sociable in and outside of the nursery and really friendly with other kids. His speech is coming along very well too, and I put that down to his development at Holly House. The nursery includes food, and he is always coming home with some homemade treats too. Some nurseries charge you extra for the food. I really like the track they have in the garden with the garden toys, and now my son is moving up, he will be thrilled outside in summer, as he loves the outdoors. Thank you to all the amazing staff who look after my boy.

Have never had a fault or issue Holly House my daughter is always happy to go to nursery and is always smiling when I come to pick her up. Since being at nursery her speech has really come along and they have always been willing to help and work with us.

My child has been at Holly House for almost 18 months and the staff and leaders have been amazing: very approachable, very supportive, and always put the child at the center of their decisions. Nothing is ever totally perfect, but when raised the tiniest of things, they have been dealt with appropriately and quickly. The provision, organization, and resources have been fabulous for the children and my child’s confidence has grown massively because of the staff: his speech and language have also developed massively. Thank you to every one of you. You know who you are. Thank you for being there for my little boy who now will be school ready thanks to you all. Big shout to all front-line staff as well as management, admin, and kitchen. All so lovely and focused on the children. Great place for a child.

Friendly nursery where you can feel the staff really care. Many experienced staff as well as some newer ones. Regular photos of the activities they run each day. It's a smaller nursery so there are usually only a handful of babies in the baby room.

Two of my children attend Holly House and I couldn't ask for a better nursery.. my son is diagnosed with autism and is nonverbal and they have gone above and beyond to meet his needs, and to make him and me feel comfortable. He absolutely loves going and runs in every day. The staff are exceptional and constantly communicate and give me updates on how the children have been and what they've been up to. I have used other nurseries with my older children and holly house is by far the best.

My little girl has been going to Holly House since May 22, and the staff has been amazing in each class. They fill the days with lots of fun activities, lunches she loves, and lots of cuddles from her dedicated contacts.

Both our son and daughter are currently at Holly House and we couldn't recommend them enough. Our son has some delays and the staff at Holly House deal with this compassionately and patiently. They have been a massive support to us as well as our children. Thank you guys! Highly recommended.

Overall, very happy with our choice of nursery and our daughter really enjoys her days at Holly House.

The only thing I don't like is the parking but that's probably my fault as I'm terrible at maneuvers!

Our Son attended Holly House Day Nursery for three years. The staff were wonderful and became our extended family. They were a wonderful support especially as early on my little boy was diagnosed with a cows milk allergy. They were already aware of the milk ladder and were so supportive and introduced delicious home cooked food. All staff are so caring and attentive, this shows as each child runs in each morning ready for more exciting adventures. The nursery has such a homely feel and the owners in particular are very attentive and make sure our children are well provided for in a safe clean environment. The staff go above and beyond. They recognise how difficult it can be especially as a working mum. They work hard to make memories and involve us as parents too. I can never thank you all enough for helping my little boy grow. We will miss you all! Thanks

My granddaughter (2 years old) loves her days at Holly House Day Nursery and because her speech has developed so well since being there she can tell us all about what she does, what she eats, play and learning activities etc. Recently she became unwell and the staff were brilliant with her, recognising something wasn't quite right, escalating it to the appropriate people and reassuring her along the way. She needed a check over by a doctor and he was very impressed with the Staff members account, she had written it all down so Mum and Dad could pass on exactly what happened. Granddaughter is fine and returned to nursery the following day.

I would highly recommend Holly House!

Eventually, after kicking up a further complaint, they instead referred me to social services after I ‘manhandled’ my son (aka held him tight crossing the road while he had a tantrum. The report was thrown immediately out on screening by the Council - however not after great distress for us. Avoid.

Absolute terrible nursery. The staff are lazy and leave the little ones in dirty nappies for hours. The manager's attitude is disgusting. She is really unapproachable. Don’t cross them or they will ring social services on you. This has been done to several parents. Stay clear.

Since my child started when 7 months old, my child has a clear bond with all the teachers, is happy going to nursery and as a result is excelling very quickly. I can see from the photos I receive on the tapestry app that all the various topics they teach include participation in exciting activities. I get regular written and verbal feedback.

My child particularly seems to be a big fan of the food as when seeing the cook says ‘yummy’! It always seems to be healthy and have catered really well to my child’s allergies.

It has been wonderful to see our boy's development, supported by the nursery. He returns home happy, with lots of stories to tell.

Through discussion with him, we learnt about all the activities undertaken; how proud he has been to gain rewards he has been given for contributions to class; and we have a wall full of the art and craft he has created.

Our interactions with staff have been positive too - we felt included in his care, and listened to on the occasions we have had queries or suggestions.

I'm sure many parents feel the same about their kids, but we see ours as a person who likes to push his own boundaries of knowledge, and is older than his years. We are grateful for the flexibility of the staff in helping him develop in a way specific to himself as an individual, rather than just as a generic child.

I would also like to thank management for their care, flexibility, and 'on the ground' kind of interest in our son.

Much recommended nursery.

We couldn’t imagine her being elsewhere.

We're delighted with Holly House!!
