Review from D J (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton since August 2019, and she loves it. Her development is so good, the staff are amazing, and she loves them all. They recently carried out a transition day for all parents whose children were moving to the next room. It gave parents the chance to see the room and meet their child's key worker. It was a brilliant idea and certainly put us at ease, knowing the transition into the next room would go smoothly for our daughter.

Staff is very friendly, especially to my child. Rooms are clean.

Food - could ve more healthy (for example porridge for breakfast instead of toast and cereals) and less spicy.

Great nursery. Both my children have attended Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton. My son still attends and loves his time in the nursery. All the staff are amazing, and he has learnt a lot during his time here.

My son seems happy and settled at nursery, engaging his time with staff and friends. I appreciate the 'courtesy calls' to keep me informed if there has been an accident.

Overall Experience

We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our son. He absolutely loves Holyrood Day Nursery. He's gone since he was nine-months-old and has developed so much since then. His confidence has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are all brilliant, they encourage and support him without pushing too much. As parents, we couldn't ask for more or a better environment for our son. The staff, the range of facilities, the food, everything is brilliant. We can't praise you all enough, and we appreciate it all so much. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Since my son starting here in September, he's doing great. He comes out happy and is always singing a new song he's learnt. He loves the staff and they are great, always giving feedback when he's picked up on how he's been that day, what he's been doing and how much he's eaten. Staff are always cleaning when I turn up and all kids always look happy. I'm very happy I chose this nursery for my son to go to.

Great nursery, fabulous staff. I will be sad to see my little boy leave in September. He’s been at the nursery since he was 9 months. He’s confidence, development has come on leaps and bounds. I can’t thank the nursery enough.

I would like to thank all the staff at the nursery for their care and support of my child. Over the two years my son had been there, he is more positive, confident and has made a lot of friends. The staff has been extremely helpful and understanding of my child's needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton.

Overall Experience

My Sons time at Holyrood Castleton is coming to an end as he starts primary school in September. He’s been at Holyrood since he was 18months old. I don’t have a bad word to say about the nursery or staff. My son has always been shy and the staff have always made him feel welcome. I’ve watched how quickly nursery has helped him progress to him being able to near enough write his own name to him being able to pour his own drinks and serve his own lunch. There are always regular updates on your child’s development and opportunities to express any concerns you have. And most of all Holyrood makes nursery fun for the children, my son is always bringing something home that he’s made/ drawn. And I will be putting my daughter in from September

Review from Lisa O (Mother of Child) published on 18 June 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have found Holyrood Nursery to be a place where fun, learning, caring and friendship is at the heart. As a parent, I love the key worker system which has given my son so much confidence and helped to instil in him the social skills I wanted him to gain from the nursery.

My son as a 3-year-old loves everything about nursery - there’s so much to do and learn, he loves the food, the themed activities, the chance to make friends across the rooms not just in his own age group. The staff are very thoughtful and always go that extra mile - I couldn’t ask for anymore.

Overall Experience
From the first visit, my daughter loved this nursery. The staff listen to our needs and are happy to help if we have any concerns about anything. Regular parent evenings are held which give you the chance to sit down with the key worker and talk about your child's progress.

We can't thank the ladies from the toddler group enough, they are doing a wonderful job!

My little boy has been there since he was 8months old, he absolutely loves it and had grown up so much, he learns so much from nursery. The girls are amazing and I couldn’t leave him every day if they weren’t so great with him. I’m so glad I choose this nursery. I’m grateful for all the girls who look after my little boy and don’t mind me ringing up to check on him :)

Review from Hina M (Mother of Child) published on 16 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child attended nursery when she was a toddler and is now currently in preschool since then her cognitive and language development has improved and is improving to a good standard. Her confidence level has also improved and loves gaining attention. Teachers have a good understanding with parents and management. Good diverse culture and a good range of knowledge have been learned within the milestones.

Overall Experience

A fantastic nursery with lovely staff. My two-year-old is always excited to come to nursery which is a great peace of mind, knowing you're leaving them somewhere they are excited to be. She has also learnt so much whilst being here and loves to get messy with the paint. All staff are approachable and I'm glad we've been coming to this nursery for the last 12 months! Thanks, Holyrood.

My child loves this nursery, she always comes out happy and tells me what she done in the day and what she has eaten! She gets up in the morning wanting to go and play with friends and learn.

She is always happy.

I would recommend this nursery, the staff are great.
