Amazing nursery, so warm and comforting. Each and every staff member is lovely and I feel happy to leave my child here every day knowing he is well looked after and happy. The meals are wonderful, the communication from staff and the development of my little boy is outstanding. I couldn't wish for a
better place to leave my child while I go to work, I have not one worry.

I find the staff at Holyrood very helpful and understanding.
My 13 year old was in the first year at Holyrood Shaw and there are many of the same staff which I find really good. They all ask about my daughter still - which shows the connection they have with the children. The staff have really helped
my son with his speech when we were concerned. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery.
The room leader in toddlers once took it upon herself to go out and buy nappies when my son had run out until I replaced them the next day.

My son is in the tweenie room at nursery. He is well looked after and has so much fun, he is worn out then he gets home. The staff are all lovely and help if you have any questions. They are also there for you as much as the kids.

My son really enjoys coming to nursery, he enjoys seeing his friends and playing lots of games. The staff are always really lovely and helpful, they make sure he is well looked after and that he enjoys his time here. They also provide us with feedback about his development and where he is up to with
his learning, which is really helpful to us. I am happy with my son's development and I am glad he is enjoying his time there.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Shaw is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.908 for Holyrood Nursery Shaw is calculated as follows: ( (224 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.908

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Holyrood Nursery Shaw is based on 20 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 83 number of registered child places is 16.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
