Review from H B (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My daughter enjoys her days at nursery. She has settled well thanks to the care of the staff and has become a great playmate with her key worker.
She does different activities each day. Some of which we would not be able to do at home eg. Soft play. She enjoys the food (she eats everything) and the menu is varied and nutritious.

The staff are friendly and caring and always take the time to tell you what they have been up to that day. The nursery is also spotless.

Review from Leah W (Mother of Child) published on 1 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter started nursery 3 months ago, she has made lots of friends in the baby room and talks about them when she gets home. When approaching the nursery, she becomes very excited pointing to the nursery people on the windows. My daughter is greeted every morning by all the staff throughout the nursery. All the staff are very kind and will always go out their way to help you.

Overall Experience

My child has been here since she was 7 months old, she is now 2 years, 7 months. She enjoys coming to nursery and is really comfortable with the staff and especially her key worker. The toddler room staff have made me feel relaxed and comfortable about having my child here and they have made her into the little girl she is today.

Review from Julie M (Mother of Child) published on 19 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

When asked about the nursery, I always recommend you, as my little girl has been here since she was six months old. My little girl has progressed so much, even moving up classes before she should. If I have any concerns I only have to ask. I have a really good rapport with certain carers as they have all worked closely with my daughter and helped her progress.

Overall Experience

Holyrood is a very friendly, warm, happy environment. The staff are amazing, they answered all my questions with professionalism which helped me feel reassured that my child would be well looked after. Also, there is lots of space inside and out for my child to flourish.

Overall Experience

Could not fault this nursery, my little boy loves coming to play and learn. The staff are amazing and nothing is too much to ask. The baby room staff have helped my little boy settle so much and made me feel better when leaving. The management has also been very helpful. Overall this nursery is 10 /10.

Review from Helen B (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I really like Holyrood Princes Dock. All the staff know all the children, not just the children in their rooms. The staff are friendly and happy and ensure the children have a fun-filled day. As a mum of two children under 4 who is in full-time work, I don't feel my kids miss out on any activities because Holyrood covers all those bases and does the things I don't have time to do.

Review from Claire K (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My family has been very happy with Holyrood Day Nursery Princes Dock and all the staff there.
The setting is brilliant with soft play being my toddler's favourite feature through the winter months.
The staff have been lovely and supported us through speech therapy and potty training.

The day trips the children are taken on have been another highlight for us and we have been impressed at the range of activities offered by the nursery.

Review from Stephanie P (Mother of Child) published on 7 October 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Really pleased with the nursery on the whole, from the (baby) room and its contents to keep children occupied to the sensory area and many planned activities that happen during each day, often with a little surprise to bring home what little one has made.
The established staff are brilliant and know their jobs so well. Always friendly and helpful as well as manager(s), always time for a sit-down and a conversation.

The meals are also healthy and varied, always exciting to see what's on the menu each day!

Review from Hind A (Mother of Child) published on 28 September 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I am an international student, leaving my country and my culture and coming to a new place with a child is a concern for any mother to know if her child will adapt or not to the new environment. I cannot say thank you enough for the staff in the nursery. My daughter is very happy and learning quickly. The environment encourages any child to settle and learn. Also, to develop their personality and being more social which I noticed in my daughter's personality (as she used to be shy). A year made me (as a mother very satisfied) that I have chosen this nursery for my daughter.

Age of 3-4 (this stage) of my daughter's age will be memorable and this nursery contributed by creating beautiful memories in her childhood.

Staff are experienced and observe how children are developing. My son's personality developed and became more social and more independent after attending the nursery.
