My daughter is very happy at Holyrood, she has made lots of friends, her learning is progressing well and she has excellent care from her keyworkers. The garden is a great addition and the late pickups are also useful.

when I first viewed Holyrood Prestwich I fell in love with it instantly. As I walked in it felt like a home from home and a familiar scent which took my mind back to when I was at nursery many years ago. My daughter attended from baby room 2 all the way through to preschool and even now as she is almost
entering year 1 at school she still asks about certain key workers. My son loves nursery and when he goes he doesn't even turn around to say goodbye. Management has a good rapport with parents and value all opinions. The outdoor space is fantastic and there is nowhere else I would like my child to be.

This was my first choice when choosing a nursery for my son and I was not disappointed! I loved the family feel of the nursery and the outside spaces for play. The staff are really friendly and welcoming, I am happy to leave my son each day knowing he is looked after and having fun. He has made so many
friends we will be sad to leave for big school!

Staff and management make this nursery excellent. They are all absolutely fantastic with the kids and they put a lot of effort into planning and delivering fantastic learning activities that are also very entertaining and engaging. Budgets, equipment and facilities may change numerous times over time,
but what's irreplaceable and what has been the cornerstone for my son's learning, well being, happiness and readiness to start school are the great relationships he has built with all the staff, and the confidence that they have helped flourish. That is something transferable that he will benefit from greatly when starting school. When my son started the nursery and I had to return to work, I had a lot of anxiety thinking that nobody would do a better job than me. Now I send him to pre-school with confidence that they will do a better job than myself.

Both of our children have attended Holyrood Nursery - one is currently attending 4 days a week and our eldest child was full time throughout most of his time there. We have only had good experiences with both children there and if there has been anything we have been slightly concerned about, we always
felt happy enough to address any issues with the manager. Our children have both been very happy at Holyrood and have developed so well in a variety of ways.

Holyrood Day Nursery is a great childcare provider. My daughter (12 months) has come leaps since starting there in September. The staff are enthusiastic and welcoming and provide you with a lovely update on your child's day.
As parents who work full time, we are extremely pleased to see that our daughter
has taken to the staff and loves her time at nursery.

My son is happy and settled at the nursery. I've has some concerns about short notice of events I.e the football coach attending today (less than 48 hours notice) and communication could thus be improved.
Staff retention/turnover is a concern currently but regular staff/keyworkers have been great.

Overall, everything was OK. Staff could be more informative about our child and everything else like activities. Need more notice to notify if any changes happen.
Staff who are very informative and I felt took time to get to know and understand my child.
I would definitely recommend two staff members
in particular who would always welcome you with a big smile.

My son has settled in so well at Holyrood Prestwich. Whenever I collect him, he is laughing and playing. I like how the children spend a lot of time outdoors rain or shine.
My son is occasionally upset when I drop him off and the nursery practitioners are excellent at comforting him and calling me
when he's feeling good again. I love this nursery.

We love this nursery. Having been unsatisfied with a previous nursery, what we really appreciate about Holyrood is the caring nature of the staff. Our child has social and communication difficulties and the nursery has worked with us to set targets that have really helped our child improve. He is talking
now and mixing with other children. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.

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.
