Review from Kate B (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Since starting at the nursery my child has enjoyed each and every room. All the nursery staff are welcoming and friendly.
The nursery nurse in preschool is fantastic, even though she has to deal with a group of children she always takes the time to spend with my child and myself. Should any challenging behaviours appear she takes the time to help me with strategies to use at home and she implements them in the nursery.
My child can count, knows colours and his vocabulary increases every day which is down to the nursery, they stimulate him and his learning is through what he likes to do. I was really pleased to see on the board in the room a list of what the children are currently interested in. My child's was building - I have not told the nursery this - they have watched him and taken his interest on board and adapted them to learning.
Thank you Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton for all the love and support you have given to my child on his journey through your nursery. I cannot recommend you enough.

One happy mum.

Review from Amy F (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

When my daughter started at this nursery she was very delayed on her speech, with the help and encouragement of the amazing staff she has caught up in 6 months. She is constantly surprising me with new words. She is also always super excited to go and to tell me about her day which I take as a sign of an amazing nursery. They have healthy meals which even a picky eater would love. They have an amazing relationship with us as parents and always make sure they can do everything they can to support our child to the fullest.

Review from Lauren M (Mother of Child) published on 10 April 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn’t thank the manager and the whole team for the past three years looking after my child, it only took his first week being at Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton for the fabulously trained staff to highlight a problem with his development I had already worried about. At that moment I knew my boy was in the best hands. Three years later and he’s ready to transition to school, he wouldn’t be as ready as he is without the help of this wonderful team and not only would I recommend but I have - many times and now his baby cousin attends too and is very well looked after.

The support, care and dedication they have given to not just my child but us as a family too has been invaluable. The SEND support is exceptional and they are always supporting his needs, nothing is ever too much and they are not just like this for my child, I see this every day with how attentive they are to every single child they have. I wish we could take them all along with us on his transition to school!

Overall Experience

Cannot fault this nursery, my son has come on leaps and bounds since starting at the nursery a year ago. He really enjoys his time there and tells me who he plays with, what he’s been doing and what songs he’s been singing with a big smile on his face. The staff are lovely and always so welcome and helpful. I’d recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience

My three year old daughter goes there three days a week and she has so much fun. The staff are absolutely amazing in terms of interacting with the each individual child's needs. The nursery is nice, clean and tidy. My daughter enjoys this nursery compared to her previous ones which I am very pleased with. If you're looking for a place for your child then I would definitely recommend you go and visit the nursery for yourself.

My experience with Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton. He's been nothing but positive. My daughter loves this nursery and her learning and development has progressed so much with all the support the children have from staff. Also, the staff are helpful in anyway possible including help with paperwork student finance.

Fantastic. All staff very friendly and caring. My daughter has been in this nursery since she was a little baby. She's leaving for school this year and she loved every single second of it. We, parents, couldn't be happier. Thank you.

Overall Experience

I would say my overall review is good. The reasons I would say they could do better is more outdoor trips. I am aware if teacher/child ratio but I am sure myself and others would volunteer. I also think extra activities such as dance/language would be good.
