Review from John G (Father of Child) published on 27 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My 3 yr old lad absolutely loves going to Holyrood Swinton. All the staff are very friendly and informative about the progress my lad is making on a daily basis. The play areas are excellent as are the rooms where the kids are looked after. My lad especially likes the guy who comes and teaches them how to learn football skills and also walking to the local library with his new friends.

I would recommend this nursery to any parents looking for top-notch childcare. 10/10.

Review from Fereida L (Mother of Child) published on 27 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I had looked around a number of other nurseries, which I wasn’t happy with before I went to look around Holyrood. I was instantly made to feel at ease around the nursery by the professionalism of both the management and staff team. Both my sons settled really quickly into the setting and I was happy to leave them in the capable hands of the nursery staff. The cleanliness and orgasation of the rooms stood out from the other nurseries I had visited. I was confident both my sons were well occupied with a full range of activities prepared for each day. The meals they had were very varied and nutritious.

Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since he was 5 months old and loves it every time he comes. He is now 6 years old and often attends the school holiday club. Most of the staff have seen my son grow and we have very fond memories of his time at Holyrood. We can’t recommend Holyrood enough. It is a lovely, clean, modern nursery with great staff from the manager, all the girls and the cook!

Review from Ann (Grandmother of Child) published on 21 February 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My grandson started Holyrood Swinton in January this year aged 9 mths, after spending all of that time mainly with mum he settled in really well within the first week. All the staff in the baby room were very welcoming and made mum really feel at ease in leaving him.

He really enjoys his time there playing with all the other children. He loves being able to wander around the room exploring all the toys and activities that are available.

The nursery provides a well-balanced menu, providing all dietary requirements to suit individual needs.
All members of staff are always very friendly and inviting when you arrive, especially the management team.
It is a very home from home, family-like setting.

I can't wait for him to be able to walk unaided so that he can go outside and explore all the outdoor activities.

Overall Experience

My 3rd child attends this nursery. My 1st child came here in 2010 and the management and some the staff have stayed the same which to me shows a happy team. Happy staff=happy children and over the years the nursery has expanded and lots of money has been spent in the area for the older children both inside and out. I always recommend this nursery.

Review from Lynn W (Mother of Child) published on 10 October 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I moved my son to Holyrood Swinton after a bad experience with another nursery which he'd attended for 6 months. The difference in my son as soon as he started here was amazing. He's so much happier and his development has come on in leaps and bounds.

There is a really friendly and supportive atmosphere here and the staff build really good relationships with the children and parents. Learning is child led and you can see when you go into the nursery that all the children are engaged with the activities and really enjoy their time here.

The nursery itself is warm, clean and inviting and the outdoors area is brilliant, the food here is great too.

I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience
I love this nursery as it is right on my doorstep and fits in well with my working hours. I also love the fact that they can take your children to school also. They have a wide range of activities for the children to enjoy and are also fed well whilst they are in nursery.
The nursery is kept very clean and to a high standard and all the staff are very friendly and easily approachable if you do come across any problems. The children enjoy how well they get along with everyone and the different activities they can become involved in.

I would highly recommend this nursery.
