Due to a house move, we have had to leave Holly Bank and to be honest we are gutted. Our son absolutely loved going to nursery, and I loved the nursery too. All staff were helpful and friendly, I received daily updates of what my child had done that day. We had some family issues just before we...
The app that the nursery used allowed us as parents to access all information on his learning reports, how he was developing, any accidents that had occurred and pictures of his day.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We have shared it with the team and they said your child was an absolute joy to care for and they miss him already!
Very pleased we picked Holly Bank Nursery, the team have showed a lot of care and are always happy to tell me about our little one's day details, they're all friendly and helpful and take on requests as well.
They do regular charity fundraising and seasonal events which keeps us parents engaged...
Very pleased we picked Holly Bank Nursery, the team have showed a lot of care and are always happy to tell me about our little one's day details, they're all friendly and helpful and take on requests as well.
They do regular charity fundraising and seasonal events which keeps us parents engaged too.
Our baby has only been there a shortish time part time, yet we can already tell they care and know their individual needs and character.
The children do lots of different activities and explorations, including in the outdoor gardens and zones and we have taken home paintings, a biscuit (tasted sugar-free) and we enjoy reading the notes from each day at nursery and following the parent app.
If I email I always get a reply, we can phone in during the day to see how it's going. The security and safeguarding system is strong and reassuring too.
We can't wait to see what the next season's activities bring and how our baby develops with their support.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
My daughter has been attending Holly Bank for about 6 months now, and she has come on leaps and bounds since attending! Her language skills, communication, interaction, independence and social skills have really developed over the last few months and I believe this is because she is very happy and...
I am very happy with Holly Bank but most importantly my daughter is very happy here. And I am very happy with her progress. I would definitely recommend to other parents.
My daughter loves coming to nursery and has made some really good friends and likes the staff. She's come home having learned Spanish and French and can communicate with me in these languages. Great menu with lots of variety. Staff are friendly and I feel safe leaving my child in their care. Gets...
Overall great experience.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review! So glad to hear your daughter is enjoying learning new languages at nursery!
My daughter has been attending Holly Bank Nursery since April, having previously attended a playgroup, she has come on leaps and bounds here and the staff are amazing ... I can't recommend them enough.

My son is very happy at nursery and I think the staff go the extra mile to make his time enjoyable. The food menu is very current and lovely to see, real homemade food.

Thank you for your review! We will pass it on to all the staff team! It's a pleasure looking after your son.
By far one of the best nurseries in Huddersfield, friendly staff, great play area for the kids and excellent teaching standards - keep up the good work.

I began my childcare career in 1979 when I completed the NNEB at Thomas Danby College in Leeds. My career has been varied across the sector, starting as a Nursery Nurse working at St James Hospital on the maternity wards and special care baby unit. Then going on to work for the local authority progressing from Nursery officer to Deputy Manager. I then worked in Australia for just over 4 years still within in the childcare sector before returning to the UK. I first became a Nursery Manager in 1992 and have since gone on to successfully manage 6 different settings. In 2008 I went on to complete the BA Hons in Early Childhood studies at the University of Leeds.
Outside of work I am passionate about baking and am always on the lookout for a new recipe to try. I love to travel and have been fortunate to visit some amazing places around the world, but I also love exploring the UK too.
Just like you I want our children to be happy, settled and provided with exciting challenges to encourage their learning and development during this important period in their lives, building a respectful and trusting relationship with the children is my goal.
Qualification: BA Honours Degree in Early Childhood Studies
