Review from Allison M (Mother of Child) published on 20 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Holyrood Nursery Swinton

Thank you for a truly wonderful review Allison. The team will be delighted that you are so happy with your choice of nursery.

Overall Experience

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!

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Holyrood Nursery Swinton

You are so welcome! Thank you for the wonderful review; it is a pleasure to read and particularly hear how your son has settled in so well.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
I'm always made to feel welcomed into the nursery, the workers are keen to learn strategies to support children with English as an additional language. Both my children enjoyed their time at Holyrood Swinton where they developed a really close relationship with nursery staff.

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!

Review from Christopher T (Father of Child) published on 1 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Maureen D (Mother of Child) published on 31 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

We cannot fault Holyrood Swinton at all, they have taken wonderful care of our son and he has simply thrived since starting at the nursery.
The staff are friendly, cheerful, caring and enthusiastic about their work. They genuinely enjoy looking after the children and the environment is more like that of a big family.
The children are encouraged to explore, play outdoors and are the staff make an effort to provide educational and fun visitors, it was small animals today!

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

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.

Review from Jessica L (Mother of Child) published on 9 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Lucy C (Mother of Child) published on 28 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review from Bonnie S (Mother of Child) published on 25 October 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I recently put my son in this nursery due to having problems at a very well known local nursery. I was particularly worried about safeguarding in the previous nursery so it has been such a relief having my son at Holyrood. All of the staff that interact with my son genuinely care about his happiness and wellbeing. The nursery is so calm compared to any other we have viewed in the area (trust me we have viewed them all!) and we love how spacious the rooms/outdoor space is. Frankie has become so much happier when we pick him up compared to the last nursery, and I no longer worry about him whilst at work. You will not find another nursery in the area where the staff take an interest in your child and their development. I feel as though I'm leaving my baby with family and it's only been a short time we've had our son here. Thank you to all of the staff at Holyrood!

Amazing nursery, friendly and welcoming. My daughter settled in really well and loves attending. All members of staff are lovely and caring. As a working mum, I know my daughter is safe and being well looked after and doing different and fun activities(learning new sounds, football, dance and many more) while she is there. I cannot fault this nursery at all the food is freshly cooked which my daughter loves and they have a brilliant outdoor area for all types of weather.
