About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

my wife and I can highly recommend this Holyrood for your little one. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Were delighted to hear how happy your son is at Holyrood and to see the progress hes made. It means so much to know that youve felt supported and confident in the care we provide. Well be sure to share your lovely feedback with the whole team!
From the moment you walk through the doors, it is clear that this nursery genuinely cares about every child. The staff treat each child as if they were their own, creating a warm, loving and nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and happy. Their dedication, patience and kindness...
The nursery provides a secure and stimulating setting where children are encouraged to explore, learn and grow with confidence. Every activity is thoughtfully planned to support each child's development while making learning fun and engaging. It's wonderful to see children thriving, flourishing and building strong relationships with both staff and their peers.
Communication with families is excellent, and it's reassuring to know your child is in such caring and capable hands. I couldn't recommend this nursery highly enough. If you're looking for a place where your child will be loved, supported and given the very best start in life, this nursery is for you.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! Were delighted to hear how happy and settled your child is and that you feel so reassured by the care and support we provide. Your kind words mean so much to our team, and we truly appreciate your recommendation.
But the biggest thing...
But the biggest thing for me is the staff. They're genuinely amazing. You can see they actually care about the kids, not just watching them but really getting involved, helping them learn and grow. It's not forced or over the top, just natural and reassuring.
The biggest proof for me has been my little one. Since starting here, I've seen such a change. He's become so much more confident, more social, and just generally happier in himself. Even the small things, like how he interacts with others or tries new things, you can tell he's developing really well.
As a dad, that's everything
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear how happy and confident your child has become. It means the world to us to know that you feel our team genuinely cares and that you've seen such positive growth. Thank you for trusting us with your child.

Holyrood Nursery has been brilliant for my son! He didn't attend any nursery setting until he started in September 2025 and he absolutely loves it! My son has additional needs and since starting at nursery he has come on leaps and bounds! His social skills are amazing, his ability to listen and follow instructions has improved greatly and his speech is now starting to come on too! The staff are so wonderful and patient and keep my son engaged with many fun activities. This nursery is brilliant for any child with additional needs. The SENCO has started to put in place everything for my son for his diagnosis and continues to put things in place to help my son grow and learn at his pace. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough. Thank you to all the wonderful staff, you mean a lot to me and my little boy!

My son has been at the nursery for over 18 months now and loves it. He had trouble settling in at first but all the staff have been brilliant in helping him. He is now settled in the toddler room and has made lots of friends.

Were so pleased to hear that your son now loves nursery and is happily settled in the toddler room. Starting out can sometimes take a little time, so its wonderful to know our team was able to support him through that transition and help him build friendships along the way.

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review.
We are absolutely delighted to hear about the fantastic progress your son has made since starting at Holyrood Nursery. Its wonderful to know that his motor skills have improved and that his speech has developed from just a few words to full sentences with understanding that is such an amazing milestone!
Were especially pleased that he has formed strong bonds not only with other children but also with our staff. Building secure, trusting relationships is such an important part of early development, and its lovely to hear that you feel everyone is welcoming and inclusive. Greeting families warmly and keeping you updated throughout the day on meals, activities, and any accidents is all part of ensuring you feel connected and reassured while your child is with us.
Thank you for your kind words were so proud of your son too and feel privileged to be part of his journey.

The girls in the baby room worked really hard to make sure she settled in well and I'm very happy with everything so far. Especially the new meals she has been having a very good variety of foods.

Excellent nursery my son has attended from 9 months old and now he is turning 2 this summer, all the staff are lovely and my son thoroughly enjoys going to nursery, he has developed so much with the help of the girls and the activities they carry out. Would recommend 10/10. It’s always been a safe and friendly environment that I have felt at ease leaving my son at such a young age! Thank you all!

I would just like to say how impressed we have been at the improvements made in the nursery in the past 6 months or so. My child has made so much progress with our child’s development and getting him ready for school in September and has built a great parent partnership with us to bring Our son on in areas he struggles with such as recognising his name and recognising numbers. Almost every day we are able to see observations on the app and our child’s meals are uploaded now daily which works much better for us as a working family to see what he has eaten. Overall we feel Holyrood Castleton is the best place for our son and preparing him for school.
Thank you for your wonderful review, the team are delighted to read it and hear your son is thriving, from everyone at Thrive.

Both my children have attended Holyrood Nursery Castleton, I would not pick elsewhere If I had a third child! They have given my children the best possible start and when they are in nursery, the children are provided with interesting and stimulating activities. Staff help to progress my children on any areas of concern e.g. my son is struggling with his tripod grip ready for school, so the nursery engaged him with fine motor skill activities to help him.
