My son has been at Holyrood Nursery in Swinton for a year or so now and we have seen him progress so well. His interaction with other children is amazing and his interaction with staff is so nice to see. He helps around the Nursery and regularly has his good behaviour recognised with certificates and stickers that he is so proud of. Safety is the highest priority and he is very well looked after. Education-wise, we couldn't ask for better progress, he has come on leaps and bounds and is so intelligent for a 3-year-old. Staff are always very friendly and welcoming and the few concerns or issues we have had have always been dealt with professionally and promptly. Having had 3 other children in other nurseries I could hand on heart say Holyrood in Swinton has been by far the best I've used. Overall, we are extremely satisfied. Thanks to all the staff!
Thank you for a wonderful and thoughtful review, the team will be delighted to read it. Thanks again from all at Thrive.
Amazing nursery. All the staff are so loving and kind. My children love coming here and makes leaving them so much easier knowing they are being so well looked after. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you for looking after my girls.
Thank you for your wonderful review the team are always delighted to read them, thank you from all at Thrive.
My daughter loves it here and settled really well and the staff are brilliant with her they go above and beyond for their children in the nursery. I can honestly say it’s the best nursery in Swinton. I feel so comfortable leaving my little girl here knowing she will be looked after amazingly, she’s so happy and always looks like she’s having so much fun with all the brilliant activities they do daily for the children.
What a lovely review thank you for taking the time to write how you feel about the nursery, it means a lot to the team. Thank you from all at Thrive.
I feel so confident that my son is cared for and well looked after whilst enjoying and interacting with the staff and other children.
The nursery keeps me well informed with the app, so I am kept updated throughout the day with sleep, food, and activities as well as pictures which I love to see how happy my son is there.
The nursery has such a welcoming atmosphere and when you drop off and collect you are always welcomed by a friendly staff member who delivers an outstanding service.
I would highly recommend this nursery if you are looking to leave your child in a caring loving environment.
Thank you, Holyrood.
Thank you for your glowing recommendation, it is lovely for the team to hear how happy you and your children are at the nursery, many thanks from the Thrive team.
Such an amazing nursery. Everyone was great with settling my daughter in when she started last year and now she loves it! Every single staff member is so helpful and kind. So happy that I decided to send my daughter here. The moment I stepped into the building I knew this was the place I wanted her to go!
It really is a feeling you get, you're exactly right! Thank you so much for writing such a lovely review, the team will be delighted to read it.
Holyrood at Swinton is unbelievable. Every other parent I speak to is jealous of my experience. They provide everything my little boy needs for the day, which helps me in the morning as all I have to do is drop him off, no extra supplies required. They cater for my erratic shifts by allowing us to book different days each month. They do lovely craft activities with my toddler. They take him outside every day whatever the weather, which he loves and is excellent for his wellbeing. I love their no-plastic policy, the toys available to him are wooden and not too prescriptive, which allows his imagination to flourish. I cannot praise this nursery enough, the food, the cleanliness and the staff are all exemplary.
Thank you for your incredible review, the team will be delighted to read your kind words, The Thrive team.
All the staff have been friendly and courteous to my daughters. They have shown real support and genuine interest in the girl's needs. The girls have taken a real shine to the entire team. This has shown in the girl's attitude and open-mindedness at home. We are truly grateful for all the support we have received.
Thank you for your wonderful review, the team will be delighted to read your kind words, The Thrive team.
All of the staff are welcoming and nothing is ever too much trouble! My child is absolutely thriving and enjoys going to nursery. She has made plenty of friends and I know I'm leaving her in safe, happy hands! I love a chin wag and giggle with staff. They are very approachable, understanding and caring! All of our family children have attended Holyrood and long may that continue. Management is superb... in a nutshell, you have a fantastic nursery with excellent staff!
Thank you ever so much for your glowing review, the team will be delighted to read it, thank you again, the team at Thrive.
Fab nursery. My boy loves coming here, great staff with such a warm and comforting home-from-home environment. The meals are always really nutritional and again warm and comforting! The managing team are 10/10. And have great activities out each week for the children.
Thank you for your glowing review and recommendation, the team will be thrilled to read it, thank you from Thrive.
The most amazing nursery with even better staff! My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and has come on leaps and bounds since starting with them in September, the staff are amazing and my daughter loves them all! I would recommend this nursery to anyone who asks and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to send her here!
Thank you very much for your glowing review and recommendation, it is much appreciated and the team will be delighted to read it, thank you from the team at Thrive.
I was so upset and stressed going to work worrying about how he was and he wouldn’t even eat.
Finally after being impressed with the nursery setting itself, I found the different playgrounds catered for all ages, the staff were so welcoming and caring. I put my trust in a new setting.
How happy am I, this nursery is wonderful the staff are always on hand to talk to you about any concerns and work with you on any problems such as mine with breastfeeding. I feel so relaxed dropping my son off that I could cry some days. He is so settled and that’s all because of their hard work and commitment.
They work all around the year through Xmas practically. I’m so grateful to them for their love and this nursery should totally be awarded something.
Or give each a day off to relax.
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words, we really appreciate it. Our team will be delighted to read your lovely review. All the best, the Thrive team.
They keep us parents in the loop all day about what the kids are doing, and it makes us feel connected and reassured. Communication is spot on!
There's plenty of space for the kids to play, both inside and outside, and the staff makes sure that the kids spend a good amount of time outside.
The management is just as kind and supportive as the rest of the team. My son started in the baby room and moved up to the Tweenies a few months ago. The transition was smooth, and they made it really well for him.
I highly recommend Holyrood Swinton. It's been a fantastic experience for us!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words, we really appreciate it. Our team will be delighted to read your lovely review. All the best, the Thrive team.
The staff are brilliant, always welcoming and make the children feel at ease. You can tell they really care about what they do which is very reassuring as a parent.
Well done team Swinton!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words, we really appreciate it. Our team will be delighted to read your lovely review. All the best, The Thrive Team.
After a not-so-great experience with a previous nursery, we have moved our son to Holyrood and we couldn't be happier with the choice we made. Everyone at the nursery is very lovely and caring, they are doing a great job. Our son loves going to nursery and participating in different activities, especially football. We would highly recommend the nursery as it's a very nurturing environment and the staff are going above and beyond for the little humans.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words, we really appreciate it. Our team will be delighted to read your lovely review. All the best, The Thrive Team.
The overall experience has been brilliant. The staff have been amazing with both me and my son, and have been nothing but accommodating. I was always anxious about leaving him as he gets overwhelmed in busy environments and with people he doesn’t know, so can get quite upset; however, we have now found the best sessions for him, and he loves attending each day, walking in and out with a smile on his face. The staff have been excellent with referrals to specialists, getting the ball rolling ahead of time for my boy. They are always trying all different tactics for my son to thrive on play-plans, etc. He plays with different things now, tries new foods, and even takes part in activities even though he enjoys his own company. It is a comforting feeling to know your child is well looked after by caring, genuine staff and that he is in a safe, fun environment. It is also lovely to see the bond he has formed with the girls, as it shows his trust in them. Keep up the great work.
Thank you ever so much for your wonderful words; we really appreciate it. Our team will be delighted to read your lovely review. All the best, the Thrive Team.
Holyrood Nursery Swinton is a wonderfully vibrant and welcoming place to send my child to, with staff that are always smiling and happy to help. As parents, we want our child to be looked after with the same care as we do at home! This is the impression we've had from day one at Holyrood Nursery Swinton, which reassures us as parents that our little ones' health and happiness are in safe hands whilst we are at work.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words; we really appreciate it. Our team will be delighted to read your lovely review. All the best, the Thrive Team.
The staff are all so lovely, warm and welcoming.
I knew from the very first visit that "this was the nursery".
My son loves his time here and does not want to leave at the end of each day, not before a round of hugs from the staff.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words; we really appreciate it. Our team will be delighted to read your lovely review. All the best, The Thrive Team.
My son has been in this nursery for 1 and 1/2 years and I can see the development progress in him. English isn't our first language and my son has picked up the language immensely. He is able to communicate with his friends and grow. From a very shy boy and becoming a bright boy and talking to other people. He is able to express himself more clearly to others now. I am so grateful for the nursery and will be continuing to work alongside them to help develop my son. The staff are really supportive and kind. They help my son with every need that he has on a daily basis. Thank you for all the work they do to run a lovely nursery.
What a pleasure to read Teodora thank you ever so much for your review, it is wonderful to hear how much your son is thriving at our nursery.
My daughter always seems to have a wonderful day with plenty of activities and playing outside. I receive updates throughout the day via the app which is really lovely, especially when they post moments, this really put my mind at ease when she was first settling in. I couldn’t recommend Holyrood enough and am so glad I chose to send my daughter there.
Thank you for such a glorious review and for taking the time to mention the delicious meals the nursery provides and the activities your daughter takes part in. The team are truly grateful for your feedback.
Amazing nursery. The staff are brilliant and so friendly. My son only recently started coming from a childminding one-to-one background. The girls were great and he’s settled in so well, fully reassured each time I visit.
Thank you for your review Natalie, the team will be delighted to read your kind words.
