I am so incredibly happy with The Hollies Day Nursery and the positive impact it has had on my daughter. The staff are welcoming, warm, friendly and show genuine care about the children. My daughter has really blossomed since starting, gaining confidence and learning a wide range of life skills, and key fundamental development.

Hollies has been a fantastic setting for our son. They put us at ease from the beginning and were so flexible and helpful when he was ill. He has thrived here since starting and we've seen him develop in leaps and bounds. The staff are brilliant- kind, thoughtful and energetic. I have no doubt that he's in the best hands here with excellent care.
My daughter was made to feel comfortable as soon as we joined hollies, any concerns I have had have always been addressed and dealt with, with professionalism and care. My daughter enjoys coming here.
Fantastic team, so helpful. Great encouragement with learning milestones plus bilingual language support. My son is well looked after by a team of excellent carers.
Good experience over the last 10 months of joining Hollies. Our little boy has taken a while to settled in but staff have been so caring and supportive with him. He really enjoys the activities and the garden
I can not speak highly enough of the wonderful team at the hollies every single member of the team goes above and beyond with their care and their attention to detail, care, love and commitment to the children. My twins have been attending the hollies for 12 months and I am constantly amazed by the exceptional environment they provide. My child has additional needs due to prader willi syndrome which includes global leaving delays and specific needs around food and play from day one staff have been incredibly accommodating and understanding. An extra special thank you to my child's key worker who has consistently provided 1-2-1 support, help and vital time with my child. Her dedication and care have made a world of difference in my childs development and happiness. Hollies is a gem and I am so grateful for the positive and nurturing environment they create for my children. Thank you for everything.
Hollies is fantastic, a home-from-home for our daughter. Everyone who works there is kind, thoughtful and caring.

Fantastic nursery with great staff. We couldn't be happier with the service provided.
All the staff at Hollies are wonderful and made my transition from maternity leave to having a child in nursery so easy. My daughter loves it at Hollies and can't wait to see her key workers.
