Since attending 'Holyrood Day Nursery Prestwich' at the age of two, my daughter has come on loads in every aspect of learning. This is all down to the staff at 'Holyrood Day Nursery Prestwich' and the fun, safe learning environment they provide. All the staff are easy to talk to and treat every child
as individuals.

My daughter goes to this nursery, starting at the age of 2 the staff were amazing with her and really settled her in. She has come on so much and is now going into pre school at the nursery in September. One particular member of staff has now moved into pre school and my daughter loves her to pieces,
always talks about her and her new fiends. The manager is lovely and my daughter really likes her and always guesses if she will answer the door to us.

My daughter started the pre-school when she was just coming up to her third birthday. Despite the usual tears upon leaving me she has thrived and her confidence and abilities have grown and improved. There is a great accessible outside play area at the pre-school that the children use all the time and
my daughter also loves the Messy Room. She has formed strong and trusting relationships. The members of nursery staff that she is emotionally attached to are always on hand for her comfort and reassurance. Staff interact and enhance my daughter's learning in a very caring way. Any concerns that I've had have been listened to and taken seriously and I can see how the pre-school is improving and working hard to be the best. I feel very happy leaving my daughter there. She is stimulated and loved and cared for by a strong and genuinely dedicated team.

My son has spent 10 weeks at Holyrood Day and I couldn't be happier with the excellent service they have given us. It was the first time he has been in a nursery environment and I was very concerned how he would adapt as he wasn't used to other children's company. The nursery staff were amazing. They
put my mind at rest and took the time to get to know my son and understand him. In 10 short weeks his confidence has grown and he looks forward to going. There is a real friendly, family atmosphere and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

5* nursery.
When my daughter started in 2015 aged 2 she was been potty trained which the nursery continued to help with.
She also had dietary requirements which they helped to provide her with.
Her speech and confidence has grown so much over the past year.
She also knows her numbers to 10.
Recognises
different colours and shapes with help from the staff.
The staff are always welcoming in the mornings and inform me what she's been up to and how much dinner she's had ect.
I would definitely recommend this nursery the staff are lovely.

Helpful and friendly staff. Daily sheet of what your child has done is very helpful. Food is excellent and you can view the 4 week food rota to see what is being served. Both my children have thrived being at this nursery and I would highly recommend to anyone.

After a rather negative experience at a different nursery I was extremely anxious about continuing to place my child in nurseries at all. From the very first contact with Holyrood's Nursery manager I felt more confident. We were welcomed so warmly and as soon as I entered the nursery we felt comfortable
warm and at home. My child quickly took to the very nurturing staff and had lots of cuddles from them to reassure and make my child feel safe and wanted. We love this nursery and feel Holyrood should be the ones with outstanding ofsted reports. Every effort is made to open doors promptly in the morning while we all rush to work. Staff are always warm and friendly. They are empathetic to how overwhelmed I can be and help me so much by making sure my child is taken for a cuddle as soon as we arrive. My child leaves very happy after having a fun filled everyday, plenty of lovely home made food and a note to tell me all about it. The manager is very organised. Always on hand (hands on) she remains In the building itself and is just lovely. The staff are brilliant with the children. Friendly, loving, caring and professional. My child is never left wet, hungry or without love and attention. Activities are varied and every day is different. Plenty of outside activity weather permitting. Snacks and water available throughout the day. Most importantly the nursery is safe and like home. I can go to work feeling confident that my child is being really well looked after. I can now relax and concentrate on my day. Thank you Holyrood for everything you do for us.

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.
