Great childcare setting, they all love the children and really care.
Our child has developed so much since coming here.
Thank you to all of the staff who work so hard and are clearly brilliant at their job.
Nurturing, caring staff and a great, happy atmosphere. My child is very happy at the nursery and is always excited to go in the morning. I would thoroughly recommend Hollies to any parent looking for a supportive and positive surrounding for their child.
The Hollies is a lovely setting. Both my children really enjoy their time here. The staff are really friendly and approachable too.
I am so happy with the care my little boy has had. The staff are fantastic. My child loves them all. The food is great. The children love the new outdoor area. My child has developed in confidence and skills. Thank you, The Hollies.
The Hollies Day Nursery is very fun for children. They are always running around very happy. The food is always rotated which is great, and my toddler enjoys it. The new refurbished garden is great.
My daughter has really enjoyed her time at The Hollies, the staff have been great and she is sad to be finishing.
Really helpful staff, very kind and caring. My little one always enjoys her time at nursery.
My four-year-old has really enjoyed his time at The Hollies! Staff have been brilliant. Graduation day was brilliant too!
My child really enjoys going to The Hollies. He had a few weeks to settle in but the staff were very attentive and caring. After 4-5 weeks my child was in a great routine, playing, and eating well.
Great! My child loves coming to The Hollies - it's so fun and safe! Love the new garden!
Can't fault the nursery. Both of my children attend and have done since they were one year old (now 1 and 3) and love it there. Staff are very attentive and caring and remember all the little details.
Both daughters, aged 3 and 1, started at The Hollies last month, and the transition has been seamless. We couldn't have asked for any more. Our eldest has moved from two previous nurseries (due to work/house moves) and this has been the favourite by a long shot!
Nice staff.
Good care.
Best decision our family made.
My son loves the revamped garden and comes home talking about all the activities he does at The Hollies.
Both my children attend The Hollies. They have made lovely friendships. The staff are always approachable and welcoming. The children talk about the staff members at home. They go on outings to the parks. They always come out happy.
He enjoys coming into nursery, seeing the staff in the room and enjoys going into the garden and all the messy play. He likes the food offered during the day and comes home with a smile on his face after pick up.
My son has attended The Hollies since he was 8 months old and enjoys his time at nursery. He does eat well but portion sizes seem a little small for his appetite. He is currently in 2-3 room. The staff are informative and log anything I need to know that has happened during the day although they take a while to get to me about feedback when staff have been free to do so. I like that the front entrance to the nursery has a buzzer and is coded for safeguarding. I have noticed that the base rooms seem tired and outdated. Some resources seem worn too. A great nursery all in all.
