Holyrood Swinton is amazing. I wouldn't send my son anywhere else. The staff are professional but very personable too. The facilities are brilliant especially after the recent refurbishment. My son really enjoys coming to nursery. The food is also nutritionally balanced. Brilliant nursery. Will always recommend.
Holyrood Nursery is the most excellent place, the staff are amazing to get along with and my daughter adores every single staff member.
Overall very polite and great to get insight into my sons say-to-day activities.
My daughter has attended Holyrood for over a year and been so happy here! She has recently started potty training and the staff are totally working with me to support this very important milestone in my daughters life! They have always got time for you and nothing is too much trouble. The nursery is fantastic, I would highly recommend!
As a parent my requirements are simple, a safe environment for my child with exceptional care but above all an enabling environment where my child can grow as an individual. Holyrood Swinton meets all these. I do not have to worry about my child because in just over a year he has developed exceptionally well. The nursery is the epitome of cleanliness , the staff are polite, forthcoming and keep me well informed about his progress or what I can do to help with his development. The upgrades they have made outside are pretty wonderful and safe for children to play in. I am confident leaving my child all day because I know in my absence he won't miss me while he enjoys himself under the best care available. Thank you all, you do a wonderful job and I appreciate it .
My daughter has been going to Holyrood Swinton for three years and loves it there. She always asks to go even at weekend and loves all the staff especially the staff in the kitchen and loves the food that they cook. I will be very sad when she leaves in September as she has learnt a lot there. The refurbishment looks great and my daughter loves it too.
The nursery was recommended to myself from a mum at school, I was not disappointed. From meeting the manager for the first time, she immediately put my mind at ease, welcoming me and my daughter to the nursery. Staff very friendly and accommodating, the recent works at the nursery are a fantastic addition with amazing outdoor facilities. Excellent meals/snacks and I love the fact that the children selves themselves. Thank you and well done Holyrood Swinton.
Love this nursery will definitely be using it again in the future if I have any more children, my child wakes up happy wanting to go there everyday, I will be sad when he leaves there as he's been there a long time but I will be using the holiday club aswell.
The activities, rooms, food and staff are 5 Star! I cannot recommend any higher.
I come to work knowing my children are 100% safe and looked after. My children love attending Holyrood Swinton.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff they genuinely love and care for the children.
Your children spend a lot of hours at Nursery so to know they are having fun means so much.
LOVE this Nursery. Thanks for all you do to all the Staff at Holyrood Swinton.
Holyrood Swinton is an excellent nursery, they have fully supported and helped my child in the 3 yrs she's been there. All the staff are extremely helpful and friendly and happy to assist with anything.
My daughter loves going she goes in and leaves with a smile on her face.
Love the new outside area as well!
The staff are so welcoming and friendly, creating a stimulating environment for my daughter. They all go the extra mile to meet her needs. The environment is fantastic, so natural!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us Kate! We really appreciate your lovely comments.
