Review from Nicola L (Mother of Child) published on 22 December 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My experience with Holly House Day Nursery for the last number of years has been nothing but fantastic! My daughter loves going after school every day and talks about what she did at Holly House for hours when she comes home. They do all sorts of activities, go on day trips, and have a fantastic activity programme whilst my daughter was there all summer! Food menu is great also! They are attentive, caring and look after my daughter so well. The girls in the room my daughter is currently in are real-life angels and they are so good to my daughter. They send a birthday card each year on her birthday (which I think is a lovely touch), and they get a Christmas gift every year.

The manager is extremely accommodating, and so pleasant and has helped me out with allowing my child to have a full day when school was on strike. I am extremely happy with the service provided at Holly House and hope my daughter can enjoy numerous more years under their care!

Overall Experience
Very happy with how our daughter is getting on at Holly House. The social aspect has been great for her, with her excited to go each day and the crafts that she comes home with are very cute.

This will prepare her really well for when she goes to preschool nursery.

Overall Experience

Couldn’t speak more highly of the Holly House staff. My little girl has recently transitioned rooms and the staff were so reassuring and made the transition smooth for her. They always provide regular updates and photos that help to put my mind at ease, knowing my little girl is being well looked after and enjoying lots of fun activities!

Overall Experience

My experience with Holly House Day Nursery is second to none. My children have all attended and I have used the nursery for the past 13 years. This month I was having some personal issues which resulted in me having to ask the nursery to accommodate me and they have been outstanding and extremely helpful. I cannot give out what this was in relation to but I can say the manager has been a great help.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been attending Holly House Day Nursery since January 2023 and I could not be happier with the level of care and professionalism. The staff in the baby and wobbler room have been amazing! They are so good with my daughter, supporting me with sleep training and persisting with nap times. She goes in happy every day without a problem and I'm sure she doesn't want to leave. She has really come on in leaps and bounds and I definitely believe that the staff at Holly House are contributing to her development and wellbeing. She loves being outside and all the messy activities that I'm not brave enough to do at home. I love the app and get regular updates and pictures on what she's up to during the day, a record of sleep times, meals, nappy changes etc. I could not recommend Holly House enough. My daughter is really blossoming being there.

Review from C S (Mother of Child) published on 26 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Holly House is the most incredible, supportive and professional nursery. Every member of staff is a credit to the team, they go above and beyond. I have two children that attend full-time, they are provided with the utmost care on a daily basis including a balanced nutritious diet. I can honestly say that once dropping them off I can be 100% confident that they both are going to have a super day. The app they use for communication is great, I love getting photos throughout the day. The management team are always there to answer my questions and queries- nothing is ever too much! Thank you Holly House.

Holly House Day Nursery is the best they are so caring thoughtful and loving towards the children. The staff are a delight and a credit to the team at Holly House Day Nursery. Some of the girls who were there for my son thirteen years ago are still there and that just shows what a great place it is.

Overall Experience

My daughter has been with Holly House Day Nursery since she was 9 months old. Holly House really put me at ease as she is my first child and leaving her was hard for me. They put me at ease and the app they have is amazing to keep me updated on how my daughter is doing. The staff are just amazing nothing is a problem and all the staff are easy to talk to and so lovely. I would highly recommend Holly House to anyone. Honestly, my husband and I are so happy with Holly House. Our daughter loves going and always smiles when we tell her she is going to nursery today. Thank you staff at Holly House for everything you do.

Review from G B (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son attended the nursery from 10 months old up until he was 20 months as I had another baby and kept him with me and his brother.
The warm and friendly meeting I received every morning was 5 stars. My son was very attached to me, as I was to him. So the separation was hard. He cried, I cried, and the staff were so understanding of this and put me to ease.
The manager was so professional, she reassured me on all phone calls, and there were a lot of them.
The food was all cooked on the premises was healthy, and I know my son was well fed.
Each day I received reports on how he got on and always was informed of new milestones.
I knew these girls were so caring, it was not just a job to them, it was a love of caring for children.

I could not recommend Holly House enough for all the care and love they give my son and the thanks they deserve.

Holly House Day Nursery is just amazing. The care and attention the kids get is second to none. The staff are all so good as they move from room to room. My little girl loves going.

Overall Experience

Holly House Day Nursery is an incredible nursery. Due to a couple of house moves this is the third nursery I have had experience with. All have been great but Holly House really stands out. The staff are what makes the place but the facilities and general day to day running of the nursery are brilliant as well.

Review from Sheree B (Mother of Child) published on 27 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Holly House has made my daughters transition to childcare as smooth as possible. All the staff we have encountered have been extremely helpful and welcoming. My daughter has come on so much during her time at Holly House and I know this is due to all the amazing staff and the home from home feel that the nursery has. My daughter is happy when going in and coming out. I don't hesitate to pick up the phone if I have any questions as I know it will be a friendly voice on the other end. Getting the daily updates and monthly newsletter are a great way to keep the parents informed and involved in what is happening in the nursery. I would recommend Holly House to anyone in need of childcare.

Review from R M (Mother of Child) published on 19 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our son joined the babies room in October 2022 and despite our concerns that he may find settling in tricky, the team have been so supportive and kind. The while settling-in process went smoothly and the team have really gotten to know our child - he is delighted to see them each morning at drop-off. Utmost care has been taken regarding catering for his allergies - we have no concerns to this end. As our first experience of a childcare setting, we are very impressed

My son has attended Holly House Day Nursery from 9 months old and the care he has received throughout the nursery has been outstanding. We as parents are content knowing that our son is cared for as we would be at home. He is stimulated in all areas of development on a daily basis and talks happily about what he has done.
