Holyrood, Prestwich is a fantastic and very inclusive nursery. My daughter has additional needs and they are excellent and supporting her and including her in activities.
All the staff are great, especially my daughter's key worker who is very approachable, conscientious and lovely with my daughter.

My daughter joined Holyrood, Prestwich in September 2016 after spending 2 years at a local childminder.
She has been made very welcoming and the pre-school staff spend time getting to know her and planning activities around her interests. My daughter is quite quiet and reserved yet staff still ensure
she feels included and her needs are met.
She shares with me what she has done during the say and it is all very positive for her. The pre-school here is very diverse with many children with additional needs. It's clear to see how hard the staff work to included everyone in such a busy setting.

My son loves coming to nursery and has come out of his shell more since he has come into the toddler 2 group. He also mentions all of his friends and that he has a great day and has had lots of fun.

Holyrood nursery is fantastic. All 3 of my children have been here. My youngest daughter has come on so well since being here. All staff work so hard and I'm so happy with what they do. My daughter enjoys going to nursery and one member of staff in particular, has really helped her settle in.

Brilliant nursery.
I started my son in September 2016 and from day 1 he loves it.
He is coming on leaps and bounds. His vocabulary is improving everyday and the pictures he comes home with and the ones up in his nursery room, you can tell that the staff take extra special care and the kids all have
a ball every day. I'd go if I could.

We have put both our young daughters in Holyrood and we have always been extremely pleased with the care they have received. I think the biggest compliment we can give Holyrood is that when we drop the girls off we don't have a moments worry for the rest of the day that they're being anything other
than wonderfully cared for.

My son used to go to the nursery and my daughter attends now. Both are very happy and my son made lots of friends and was sad to leave. My only complaint is that clothes often get stained and ruined. I'd prefer messy play to be done with a change of old clothes.

Staff are great and very friendly. Only issue would be that daughter came home a few times with poo in her knickers. I was worried about sending my daughter to a nursery at beginning (worried mother!) but she has blossomed amazingly. She is a confident little girl and loves pre-school. Thank you.

The facilities at my son's learning hours was fab. All the staff took time out (not in working hours) to entertain with a bouncy castle, face painting, homemade cakes, a disco and much more.

My son has come on leaps and bounds in his confidence and knowledge since attending Holyrood. His maths skills have improved and his ability to write his name so neatly has really impressed me, especially as he refuses to do writing at home. He loves all the teachers and always comes home happy. I am
slightly sad that he is leaving to go to school as he loves it so much here. Thanks for everything over the past 18 months here.

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.
