Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The nursery is a nurturing and friendly environment for all children. I am so grateful for all the staff, especially the toddler room staff who have taken the time to build a loving and supportive relationship with my daughter.
My daughter has developed many social, educational and personal skills
whilst attending the nursery. It really is a great place for young children to learn, thrive and grow.
A special thanks to the lead worker in the toddler room, who goes above and beyond for the children and parents. I could not recommend the nursery more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2 boys now attend the nursery, with my eldest having been there since 6 months (he’s 4 now). Both of them bounce through the door every morning excited to see their carers and friends.
I am always so thankful to each and every one of the friendly, professional and trustworthy staff for doing this
important job so well. I wouldn’t have made the transition back to work if it weren’t for them.
I always feel informed when I need to be, but they also never worry me unnecessarily during the day if it can wait. The boys love it and have come on in their development since they’ve been attending.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
There’s recently been a change In staff in the toddler room which I was worried about due to my child being attached to the member of staff in question. However, I didn’t need to worry. The transition has been handled so brilliantly. The nursery are so considerate of every child’s feelings and have
been slowly easing the transition with different staff. The new member of staff is just as brilliant with my boy as they all are and I really can’t thank them enough. Additionally, I have another child who’s just started in the baby room which has been handled amazingly well. He’s settled in so quickly and his key worker is a dream with him! Love this nursery, thank you for putting us parents so much at ease!

Staff are always friendly and welcoming, helpful at drop offs and pick ups. It’s lovely to see how warmly the staff interact with the children. In the 2-3s room, the team come up with lots of innovative and interesting ways to keep the children entertained and develop new skills. My daughter is very
happy here and enjoys coming to nursery every day.

My daughter loves going to nursery, she is always so happy and in a great mood when she sees the staff. Which is a big relief for us as she was a lockdown baby and is very shy. The manager and the team have been very accommodating and I feel confident in them looking after her. They provide lots of
fun activities and we are always getting lovely updates. Nothing is too much trouble they are always willing to help and I would recommend the nursery.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Holyrood Nursery have been fantastic with my little boy. He has been there from 13-18 months and I cannot speak more highly of the staff. They clearly care deeply about the children they look after and seem so happy when my son does something new!
He always has a good day at nursery coming home having
enjoyed his day. They have been so supportive of our choice of reusable nappies and were also so reassuring the early days encouraging me to call after any tearful drop-offs to reassure myself that my son had cheered up. I feel confident with their care at all times. A special mention to some of the staff, I'm very grateful for your work!

Amazing nursery with fantastic staff, honestly couldn’t fault them. They are great with my son and he is coming on leaps and bounds with their support. They are so supportive with parents as well, always there for a chat if you have any worries or concerns, couldn’t have chosen a better nursery to help
me bring up my son. Thank you all the staff.

Staff are brilliant, feels like a family. Care is tailored to each child individually with support for parents at home. Flexible with sessions wherever possible. Rooms are brilliantly set out with attractive displays and stimulating variety of activities espenially the 2-3 room. Social development is
encouraged with great mealtime culture and healthy meals. Will be sorry when my children leave. Great culture of outdoor exercise and play.

I have just returned to work and my second child has completed their first week at the nursery. The manager and baby room staff have been amazing! They’ve been so attentive to my child during his trials and nominated care days and they have listened to and followed requests I have made. My baby uses
cloth nappies and they have embraced this fully as he is not the first to do so! Plus they also have the added complication of food allergies to follow and they’ve been super attentive to this which has put me at ease greatly!

My daughter goes here one day a week, she is quite clingy to me so we have had our moments but the nursery staff have made us both feel at ease and now she runs to them for hugs in the morning which is just lovely to see and makes leaving her so much easier as I know she is in great hands. She is learning
how to draw shapes and she is counting a lot more than before. This is a very calm nursery, the children are very well behaved and the staff cannot make you feel any more part of the family.

I heard a member of staff say to another member of staff here's thingies mum which I did not appreciate as my child has been here for a couple of years. I think teaching is very good my child has learnt a lot since being in the bigger class. She has become a more confident person and now she's a bit
older she loves her class.

The team ay Holyrood Hope have looked after both my boys for the past 4 years. The team from babies have steeled both boys into the nursery with such love and warmth making it home from home. The support they showed with regards to our choices of baby led weaning, potty training and development give
us confidence in our choice of nursery childcare. The manager unbelievably finds the time to know all the children and help share joint decisions of class moves and development. The preparation of early years and pre-school gave our eldest confidence in transition to primary school.

A very friendly and encouraging nursery. My daughters are thriving because they are stimulated and individual interests and needs are noticed, yet they aren't pushed. The staff are very caring and care the same ways I parent. They manage behaviour in a kind and positive way. I am always impressed and
surprised at how my daughters develop.

My son started here when he had just turned one. The staff have been great with him and his younger brother who started in February. He has been taught all essential skills and his speech has come on leaps and bounds! He will miss all the staff and his friends that he's made throughout the three years.

My son has been attending this nursery for a year now. All of the staff are very approachable and have taken the time to learn my little boy's name. I feel that because of the support he has received my little boy has come on leaps and bounds since he first started, he was ready to move into toddlers
at 15 months.

I am really happy with the nursery. However, I would like to see more different activities for our kids. Would be great if older kids will have some kind of lessons such as learn to name things and try to write numbers and letters.
Overall the nursery and staff working there are really friendly and
good with kids, thoroughly would recommend them to other friends.

My daughter recently started at the nursery. Staff have been very good settling her in and have offered advice and support around routine. My daughter loves being outdoors especially with having the option all day long. I feel confident that she is well cared for and that I can visit any time on
my break as the nursery is across the road.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Salford Royal is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.797 for Holyrood Nursery Salford Royal is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.797
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holyrood Nursery Salford Royal is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
