Thrive Princes Dock

Holyrood Nursery really is a home away from home for my little one! He absolutely loves it and has the biggest smile on his face when we drop him off. We get pictures and updates via the app throughout the day too so we always know what he’s been up to! The staff are incredible, it really is like a big family. I couldn’t imagine my boy anywhere else!

My child has been with Holyrood since he was 12 months old and has now progressed to the preschool room. We’ve had support throughout his whole journey and worked closely alongside the team. They’ve been encouraging and reliable with our family unit. Would recommend it.

I just want to say a massive thank you for helping shape the lovely little boy our son is becoming. You guys do a brilliant job!

Holyrood Nursery have been nothing but brilliant for our 2-year-old. She has been with the nursery since she was 9 months old and has gone from the baby room to the toddler room. The staff are always on hand to help and answer questions and our little girl has developed some lovely bonds with the staff. I would recommend Holyrood Princess Dock to anyone looking to start their children in a nursery and are worried as I cannot fault them.

My daughter has been going to Holyrood Nursery Prince Dock now for 3 months and she is absolutely loving it, She has amazing bonds with all the staff and she gets so excited when we walk to her nursery. I am so pleased with the care my child is receiving from Princes Dock and wouldn't choose anywhere else from her!

Our daughter went to Holyrood Nursery. Best decision. It provided an exceptional environment for her growth and development. The staff were amazing. They were nurturing, patient, and attentive to her needs. It was evident that they genuinely cared. Their dedication made us feel she was in good hands. We received updates on her daily activities and progress via an app. She was exposed to a variety of stimulating activities that aid to develop her cognitive, social, and creative skills. We were impressed with the range of educational materials. Outdoor play was an important aspect of her time. The spacious and safe area provided her with ample opportunities for exercise and exploration. The nursery was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with age-appropriate toys and learning materials. My daughter always looked forward to her time at the nursery, and we felt comfortable leaving her in such a welcoming and safe environment. They provided nutritional meals and snacks throughout the day.

She enjoys coming to nursery and we are very grateful to them - I will be very sad when my daughter leaves them as they have created a great space for her to be a part of and not only does our daughter love them but we, her parents also love the staff there who work very hard on creating a safe and happy space for all.

However, comments made by the Manager proved how she can disregard children. Children with needs should be met with kindness and a professional outlook. This is not the case at this nursery. I have been forced to report such conduct to Ofstead.

Really happy with the care provided at Holyrood Nursery Princes Dock. Our daughter recently moved up to the next room, my wife and I were a bit anxious as she has hip problems and we were concerned for her moving to a bigger room. The staff and management were fantastic and made us feel at ease about the decision, a care plan has been put in place for our daughter and she is absolutely thriving in the next room! She is not at a disadvantage with not being able to walk as they added lots of things into the room to help her cruise. She loves nursery and so do we.

My baby wasn’t happy at her last nursery so I was nervous starting her here. She’s loving it and we couldn’t be happier with her care! She’s also vegan and the staff have been great with her dietary requirements.

I’m extremely happy with Holyrood Nursery Princes Dock my son goes there full time and I always assured that he gets the best care he deserves. He’s always happy and smiling and there are always new activities they do with him. they are very flexible and responsive so I highly recommend them.

I’m so happy with my child’s experiences at Holyrood.

The discount month helped us lots, and was like a bonus and Santa made the Christmas spirit more special. Thank you again!

I was so worried about my baby starting nursery. From start to finish everybody has been incredible and in just two weeks my little girl has settled amazingly and has so much fun. Cannot fault anybody at the nursery they are all so helpful and nothing is ever too much trouble.

My son absolutely loves attending Holyrood Nursery Princes Dock! Their ethos around loose parts and natural resources lets him use every part of his imagination during play! All the activities are based around his interests ensuring he is always engrossed in his own learning and development. They also have a fantastic outdoor area for a nursery that is based in the city centre this is rare to find! Would absolutely recommend this nursery to everyone!

I highly rate Holyrood Nursery Princes Dock. Staff are always professional and understanding and I always feel happy to leave my daughter in their care. She adores the staff and is always full of joy on pick up. Thank you ladies.

We've had to change our daughter's dietary requirements quite a few times which has never been a bother.

My son started Holyrood Nursery Princes Dock when I returned to work in August 2021. I had been anxious about him going into nursery and being away from me as he was a lockdown baby. I had nothing to worry about as the team in Holyrood are fantastic! Within a week or two of my son starting in his room we noticed such a change in him becoming more confident and his development really came on. The app is brilliant as it allows me to see how his day is going and what meals he’s had and how much he has eaten. The nursery always looks spotless even after a full day of playing! My son loves going in which makes it easier for me to leave him, and the girls always make a fuss which he loves! The communication from the nursery is spot on with them ringing to get permission to give calpol and a courtesy call when my son bumped his head, which was great as they reassured me he was ok and when I followed up later in the day made me feel at ease. Amazing team and amazing nursery!

My daughter settled in well, she loves the staff. She started in September 2020 at 10 months old and settled in quickly. Due to Covid she had hardly socialised at all so I am delighted how she has come on and how much she loves going to nursery! She is 14 months now and it’s helped her confidence with milestones such as eating with cutlery, crawling, playing with others, learning and talking. She is about to walk too and it’s a great environment as they have normal furniture etc in the baby room so she can learn safely and explore all the fun stuff as well as normal stuff like using the armchair to walk and balance. The manager was great from the initial viewing which she accommodated on a Saturday for us. I feel like she and the staff really care about and know my child which is wonderful.

Our daughter has been at the nursery since October 2017 when she was ten months old. She's due to finish in August when she goes to school and has absolutely thrived here. The management team is responsive and accommodating of special requests, the facilities are excellent, with lots of space for each age group as well as for the children to play both indoors and outdoors. There is a great emphasis on imaginative play as well as a library and outdoor classroom. Despite the pandemic, we've noticed a lot of investment in the nursery, which is appreciated. The staff have been just excellent and have really bonded with our daughter in such a caring way, to the extent that it has been a wrench when some have left and will be when she leaves in a few months time. Our little boy has just started in the baby room and the staff working there are incredible, particularly during the settle sessions for him as a lockdown baby unused to social contact. The Princes Dock team deserve an award.
