Review from Samantha S (Mother of Child) published on 12 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Both my eldest son & my daughter came/come to this nursery. My daughter still attends & loves going. The staff are amazing, helpful, caring, kind & compassionate I wouldn't send my children anywhere else. The meals are healthy & nutritious my little girl always eats her meals & mostly has seconds (I could cook the same thing at home & she'd turn her nose up at it haha) I would highly recommend this nursery a 1000 times over.

Reply from Jenni McDougall, Operations Project Manager at Holyrood Nursery Salford Royal

Review from C D (Mother of Child) published on 11 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have been incredibly welcoming, caring, and attentive. It's clear that they genuinely love what they do, and it shows in the way they look after the children every single day.

The team consistently go above and beyond to ensure each child feels safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. They take the time to understand every child's individual needs and personality, which gives us so much confidence and peace of mind as parents.
The environment is warm, nurturing, and well-organised, with plenty of engaging activities that help support learning and development in a fun and creative way. Communication with parents is also excellent-we're always kept informed and feel very involved in our child's journey.

We're so grateful for the dedication and hard work of all the staff. It truly feels like a home away from home, and we would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a child to go.

Thanks so much for your kind words. It means a great deal to the whole team to hear that your child feels happy, safe, and supported with us. Were grateful for your trust and are delighted to be part of your childs learning and development journey. Your recommendation truly means a lot.

Review from Olivia H (Mother of Child) published on 3 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter has loved this nursery since the first day she started. She's been in the baby room, toddler room and 2-3 years room and will soon be going into the preschool room. Staff members are so caring, friendly and are very proactive with the children. One thing that stood out to me about this nursery when I was viewing was how they interact with the children and the educational activities they do every day - lots of creative tasks, singing, reading, dancing, building and lots of outdoor exploring and play (and much more!) Thank you so much Holyrood Road Salford Royal for all that you do for my daughter. My youngest is also due to start in the baby room next week! I couldn't recommend this nursery more!

Overall Experience

My 2.5 y/o has been at Holyrood since 9 months old. I can't praise them more and I am very happy with the care they provide my daughter. The staff are so warm and kind and really do care about the children, it's one big happy family. They communicate well, follow through on requests and really get to know the children individually. The facility is great with lots of outdoor time and play time. All the children always have big smiles on their faces when I pick my daughter up. Everyone is very approachable. We love it

My daughter is in preschool and I cannot express my gratitude to the staff in supporting her learning. Also, the staff that have moved rooms.
They certainly have lots of patience and have an understanding of my child, especially her likes and dislikes.

Thank you for all the hard work from all the staff it's very much appreciated you always go above and beyond!

I have recently returned to work full-time, this nursery has offered tremendous support by providing a full-time place for my child, who was previously part-time. The rooms are always clean at drop off and pick up. Each age group has their own outside area. The staff and friendly, supportive and are always available to give advice when requested.

An excellent nursery, all the staff are incredibly supportive and both our girls have thrived during their time there. We are kept well informed through the app and have seen a huge improvement in our toddler with the implementation of a curriculum. We are truly grateful for the care they provide and would not hesitate to recommend it to our friends and family who have young children.

Review from O E (Mother of Child) published on 16 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter started at this nursery 3 months ago. At first she was a little unsettled when leaving me in the morning but the staff were amazing with settling her and reassuring me throughout the day that she was okay. The staff always put on updates from what my daughter had for dinner, how long she has slept and what activities she has been doing. It is so lovely to see the bonds she has made with the staff and other children in her class. It is an amazing nursery and I definitely recommend!

Review from Katherine E (Grandmother of Child) published on 25 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My granddaughter attends this nursery. When she first started she was a little bit upset when my daughter was leaving her. The staff were absolutely brilliant in settling her and giving reassurance to my daughter. It took a couple of days but she now goes in happily. She is always happy when she is picked up and is sent home well-fed with a clean dry nappy. My daughter is updated daily on the app as to when my granddaughter has slept, what she has eaten and what activities she has done throughout the day. The nursery is extremely well run and all the staff are compassionate and caring. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Two of my children have attended this nursery. The staff are lovely and genuinely care about the children. You can tell that they truly get to know the children from the details they tell you at the end of the day. Both my children have loved going to nursery, and if I have had any concerns or worries, then the management has listened and supported us. We are very happy that we chose this nursery.

Overall Experience
Fabulous experience of the nursery provider.
The staff at Holyrood made my return to work easier and less stressful. The app reassures me during the day and staff are always available to discuss my son when I ring. I have seen a massive development progress in my son whilst attending nursery. Staff have developed a beautiful relationship with him and are always positive and happy when I pick him up.

My son's friendships with staff and other children have flourished and I love the activities that the nursery staff provide for him, he enjoys varied food and I would recommend it to other parents.
