From the moment I walked into the nursery, I knew this was the right nursery for my child. It is a very friendly, homely nursery and all the staff and management are so lovely and friendly. The managers made me feel very at ease and are very caring and knowledgeable. My son settled very quickly and
is very happy here and I know he is in good, trusted hands and is happy and safe.
I couldn't recommend the staff and nursery enough.

As a first time mum the whole idea of preschool/nursery was alien to me - yet from the first email enquiry/telephone conversation, right through to the settling in days/starting at Holyrood, every single member of staff has put me at ease by, not only being friendly and professional, but seeing how
they interact with the children and each other. I viewed all the 'big name' nurseries in the area when my son was born, but none gave me the homely feeling that Holyrood did, and in the end, it was that feeling that won. It may not be as 'finely polished' as some places, but what it does have is a fantastic outside area that the kids use in all weathers, it has an incredible team of staff (young and old) and it is very much a 'take me as you find me' preschool which that meant I could view the nursery with and without my family and it wasn't set up for my arrival. My son has blossomed since joining Holyrood, the support and nurture he receives is apparent in all of his new developing skills. I never hear unhappy children when I'm there and that is reassuring in itself - it is a Happy Place!

My daughter loves to go to nursery. She used to be very shy and scared of everyone apart from mum and dad. Now she’s open and smiling at everyone. She has a lot of fun there but also attention and great care.

I cannot speak highly enough of Holyrood Nursery, Prestwich. The staff are fabulous, care for my daughter extremely well, have supported her in her development and have also kept us informed as parents with everything. My daughter has been at the nursery from a being quite young and she absolutely loves
it, especially the staff often talking about staff members at home when she’s playing. I was very anxious about putting my daughter in nursery, however having visited Holyrood and other nurseries, I knew from my very first visit that I would be very happy there. I love the homely feel and everything the manager and her team stood for and believed in. As a teacher myself, I know how important it is to give children the very best start in life and I can certainly say, hand on heart, Holyrood Prestwich does this with bells on. I particularly like how all staff know my little girl by name. I only wish there had been ratings higher than excellent on this questionnaire.

Holyrood Nursery Prestwich is an extremely friendly, warm welcoming nursery. My little girl has been going since she was 8 months old and is now 3 and a half she absolutely loves her time there as well as all the members of staff. I couldn’t recommend a better nursery.

My daughter likes going to this nursery. She likes the staff and food. She learns a lot of new things and every day she surprises me with new words or activity.
She loves her friends. Staff are good as they keep them together
My opinion as Heaton Park is close to the nursery they should go and learn
how to walk together, learn about nature and trees etc

Everyone at Holyrood Prestwich has been an absolute joy to deal with. My 16 month old son attends every morning and he smiles as soon as we arrive and is still smiling when I come back for him (and that's before he spots me). He even beams when I talk about the staff when we're not even there. At
a different nursery, my daughter never really settled and I left every day feeling awful. Not here. He is so obviously well cared for by everyone here and I leave each day excited to go back and get him knowing he has had a happy day, learning new things and being looked after so well. Couldn't have found a happier, more homely place for my baby boy.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.249)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.249) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Prestwich is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.688 for Holyrood Nursery Prestwich is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.688

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.561 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holyrood Nursery Prestwich is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 98 number of registered child places is 19.6. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.6 = 0.561

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
