Review from C L M (Aunt of Child) published on 21 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am the aunty of a child who attends Holly House. The girls within the nursery have been excellent throughout the settling in process. The care and attention he receives is excellent and I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. The nursery is bright and spacious with lots of activities to promote learning and enjoyment. The outdoor play area is brilliant for the children with its spacious grass area, trees and climbing frame. I would highly recommend this nursery to other parents and caregivers.

Review from Judith Y (Mother of Child) published on 23 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My son has been attending Holly House since he was 10 months old. He is now almost 3 and my youngest has recently started in the baby room. I can't speak highly enough of the staff and management always welcoming always accommodating and very friendly. When my child attended speech therapy and the therapist rang in to assist with pointers and areas he needed specific help with, the staff were only too happy to help progress our son.

Both children really enjoy their time there and come home happy and full of excitement.

Overall Experience

My little niece has started to attend the nursery. She is really enjoying it and has settled so well! All the girls in the baby room are so welcoming. I just had to share my thoughts. They are all super helpful and really do love their jobs. I could not recommend them enough!

My two boys attend after school and they absolutely love it. The girls are so engaged in activities created for them and always pay interest in what they have got up to each day. Highly recommend this nursery for after-school care.

Overall Experience

As a working mother, it is so important for me to know that my son is happy and being well looked after. I truly believe Holly House to be a positive and loving environment for my son to attend while I am working, and I couldn't be happier with the level of care he is receiving.

Review from Laura M (Mother of Child) published on 14 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I am very pleased with the runnings of Holly House and its staff. The girls are warm, friendly, approachable and exactly what I look for in selecting care for my child.
I am informed in person and in writing each day of my son's menu, sleeping pattern and activities.

Hugo has only been there a little over a month and already settled and excited to go to crèche.

Review from Nigel D (Father of Child) published on 10 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have used Holly House for over 5 years now and I wouldn't want my kids to go anywhere else. The standard of care at Holly House is just phenomenal. There is such a lovely, homely, family atmosphere in the place. To be honest, it's quite difficult to describe in words, it just feels like a home. Both my kids have been looked after so well during their whole time there. The nursery are more than flexible and helpful with any needs that you have, from extra sessions to dietary requirements to potty training, nothing is ever too much trouble.

I can't recommend here highly enough for parents that live in the area. You and your children will love this place. As said earlier in the review, I'm not sure if I can find the words to do this place justice.

Review from Michelle M (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My son attends Holly House 2 days a week to prepare him for nursery school. Since joining, I have found an increase in the vocabulary he uses and his willingness to try new foods. The meals he receives at Holly House are varied and he appears to enjoy them. I am also happy that the lovely staff will soon be assisting me when I start potty training.

I love the nursery that I picked for my baby. I thought I would be unsettled and not trust anybody with my baby. The staff at Holly House are great. They follow my babies routine and she loves going. She is there full time and I have never had any concerns.
