Thrive Rake Lane

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.

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.

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.

From first starting at the nursery my child has come on in leaps and bounds. The activities that they do and the arts and crafts he's always enjoying himself. He loves attending and has so much support from the staff as do I as a parent too. Anything I'm unsure of they are always willing to help. The staff are always so polite and helpful and are there for the parents as well as the children. Lovely place to send your child and I'm so glad I chose the nursery.

The staff at Holyrood Swinton are amazing. My son has settled in really well, and after only a few months, he absolutely loves it here. His face lights up every morning when I drop him off, and he sees all of the staff's faces. I don't have to worry at all about leaving him there. Thank you so much to all of the team!

My daughter loves attending this nursery. She has built her confidence and her language skills because of the staff. The staff, the facilities and my daughter’s happiness make it really easy to leave her and continue to be a full-time working mum. It’s great for our family, and management is very flexible around our requirements.

I would rate this setting really high, they have the resources to meet all children's needs. Facilities are great and with a strong and dedicated team, managed by a particular member of staff and I have one less thing to worry about when I leave my child there!

I can not thank the staff at Holyrood Nursery Swinton enough! My daughter is coming on leaps and bounds, it feels like I'm leaving her with family and makes me more content knowing my child is happy and well looked after. You guys are amazing so thank you!

When you drop your kids off at the nursery door, it allows you the comfort of having to worry about one less thing. All the staff at the nursery are friendly, amazing and very caring. You have all the confidence in the world knowing leaving your child at this nursery they will get the love, care and support they need as if they were at home with you. The nursery supports any concerns you may have regarding your child's development, achieved by the pragmatic approach the staff have to each child that attends this nursery. I have two children in this nursery, and both have been looked after in exemplary fashion, which shows that this isn't just well-trained staff; it is a culture throughout the nursery that they do things right each and every time. Should anyone think of sending their children to the nursery, they can rest assured that they have put their child's welfare first and foremost with this decision.

Since our son started at this nursery he has reached milestones we once thought may not be impossible. He has and continues to thrive. The staff have been nothing short of amazing, supportive, accommodating and just a pleasure to deal with. It is clear why the staff at this nursery are in this profession! They are always helpful, and generous and just make it so easy for the children to attend. Our son loves going to nursery especially when he is greeted with a big smile and open arms. We have never had any issues or complaints with any of the staff members. The whole team including cooks, cleaners etc is what makes Holyrood as awesome as it is. The teamwork helps the nursery to thrive like it does and I am so happy it is the nursery I chose for my son. Leaving your child at the doors for someone else to care for is a really daunting experience but Holyrood have made this transition so much easier and I know in my heart I made the right choice for my son to begin his education journey.

Myself and my wife are so happy with Holyrood Nursery Swinton. The staff are always happy and appear to have so much energy. The flexibility ondates is a huge plus for us also. My daughter is thriving and a big part of that is due to the competent hard working and engaging staff. Thank you for all that you do.

just want to say how caring all the staff are towards the children. It feels like the children are with family. Very pleasant atmosphere.

We can’t thank the staff enough for looking after our son so well.

My little boy loves coming to nursery, he is very well looked after and there always seems to be plenty going on during the day with activities and soft play etc. The facilities are great and the staff are very friendly and always helpful. Glad we chose Holyrood Nursery Swinton.

Couldn't recommend this nursery enough! They the staff and manager are absolutely amazing with all the children and go above and beyond for them. They brought both my children on in leaps and bounds! Wouldn't send them anywhere else.

Excellent nursery with even better staff, the team at Holyrood Nursery Swinton are fantastic and we are so happy we chose this nursery for our daughter. She comes out with the biggest smile on her face every day. The outdoor space is fantastic. The rooms are filled with lots of different activities and the manager is on the ball for anything I need to discuss.

My daughter started with Holyrood Nursery Swinton a few months ago. She’s always suffered massively with separation anxiety and wouldn’t even stay with family. In the short amount of time she’s been at the nursery, she has come out of herself massively. She’s so much happier and more confident. She’s learned a lot already from being there and everyone can see a massive change in her. She’s started talking a lot more and her speech is so much clearer. I was so scared at first as I knew she would be so upset being left at a nursery, but the staff at Holyrood have always made me feel so comfortable. They are unbelievably patient and kind with my daughter. I feel like I’m now leaving her with a member of my family. The facilities are really good and my daughter loves especially to play outside. Parents are kept up to date about their children and informed of everything. Thank you so much to all the staff at Holyrood. You’re all a godsend!

Holyrood Nursery Swinton is a truly outstanding nursery. The staff are incredible with the children - from babies right through to pre-school. They genuinely care about each child and go the extra mile to help them settle, stretch their imagination, build on their interests and above all, make them feel safe, secure and happy while they’re in their care. The whole nursery has a warm, happy and welcoming atmosphere and staff are engaged with the children - giving them valuable time and attention to help them thrive. A truly outstanding nursery and fantastic team.

Since starting my daughter at Holyrood she has come on in leaps and bounds. She thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery. The staff and management are fantastic. I wouldn't think about alternative childcare, the nursery is very clean, bright and friendly.

Following a house move over the summer, we had to reluctantly change our son's nursery and also start our one-year-old girl at Holyrood. I was apprehensive and very nervous but the staff have been fantastic and very friendly and accommodating. one member of staff showed us around and her energy and enthusiasm is just wonderful. My son loves her! All the staff stop to say hello in the corridors and are so welcoming and engaging. The fact that my little boy runs in of a morning eager to get to preschool and never cries when we drop off is such a relief and testament to the care they receive whilst there. My little girl started napping in the baby room within a few weeks of starting which tells me that she trusts her surrounding and her carers. I often pick her up and she’s asleep being cuddled by one of the ladies in her room. Holyrood have created a home from home and I know that my children are cared for and cuddled when they need it which brings so much peace of mind. Thank you for all your wonderful work!
