Staff at Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton are consistently brilliant. Our child has thrived under the care of the staff and particularly her keyworker. Both of our children have been very happy here.

We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our son. He absolutely loves Holyrood Day Nursery. He's gone since he was nine-months-old and has developed so much since then. His confidence has come on leaps and bounds. The staff are all brilliant, they encourage and support him without pushing too much.
As parents, we couldn't ask for more or a better environment for our son. The staff, the range of facilities, the food, everything is brilliant. We can't praise you all enough, and we appreciate it all so much. Thank you.

Since my son starting here in September, he's doing great. He comes out happy and is always singing a new song he's learnt. He loves the staff and they are great, always giving feedback when he's picked up on how he's been that day, what he's been doing and how much he's eaten. Staff are always cleaning
when I turn up and all kids always look happy. I'm very happy I chose this nursery for my son to go to.

Great nursery, fabulous staff. I will be sad to see my little boy leave in September. He’s been at the nursery since he was 9 months. He’s confidence, development has come on leaps and bounds. I can’t thank the nursery enough.

I would like to thank all the staff at the nursery for their care and support of my child. Over the two years my son had been there, he is more positive, confident and has made a lot of friends. The staff has been extremely helpful and understanding of my child's needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend

My Sons time at Holyrood Castleton is coming to an end as he starts primary school in September. He’s been at Holyrood since he was 18months old. I don’t have a bad word to say about the nursery or staff. My son has always been shy and the staff have always made him feel welcome. I’ve watched how quickly
nursery has helped him progress to him being able to near enough write his own name to him being able to pour his own drinks and serve his own lunch. There are always regular updates on your child’s development and opportunities to express any concerns you have. And most of all Holyrood makes nursery fun for the children, my son is always bringing something home that he’s made/ drawn. And I will be putting my daughter in from September

We have found Holyrood Nursery to be a place where fun, learning, caring and friendship is at the heart. As a parent, I love the key worker system which has given my son so much confidence and helped to instil in him the social skills I wanted him to gain from the nursery.
My son as a 3-year-old loves
everything about nursery - there’s so much to do and learn, he loves the food, the themed activities, the chance to make friends across the rooms not just in his own age group. The staff are very thoughtful and always go that extra mile - I couldn’t ask for anymore.

From the first visit, my daughter loved this nursery. The staff listen to our needs and are happy to help if we have any concerns about anything. Regular parent evenings are held which give you the chance to sit down with the key worker and talk about your child's progress.
We can't thank the ladies
from the toddler group enough, they are doing a wonderful job!

My little boy has been there since he was 8months old, he absolutely loves it and had grown up so much, he learns so much from nursery. The girls are amazing and I couldn’t leave him every day if they weren’t so great with him. I’m so glad I choose this nursery. I’m grateful for all the girls who look
after my little boy and don’t mind me ringing up to check on him :)

My child attended nursery when she was a toddler and is now currently in preschool since then her cognitive and language development has improved and is improving to a good standard. Her confidence level has also improved and loves gaining attention. Teachers have a good understanding with parents and
management. Good diverse culture and a good range of knowledge have been learned within the milestones.

A fantastic nursery with lovely staff. My two-year-old is always excited to come to nursery which is a great peace of mind, knowing you're leaving them somewhere they are excited to be. She has also learnt so much whilst being here and loves to get messy with the paint. All staff are approachable and
I'm glad we've been coming to this nursery for the last 12 months! Thanks, Holyrood.

My child loves this nursery, she always comes out happy and tells me what she done in the day and what she has eaten! She gets up in the morning wanting to go and play with friends and learn.


She is always happy.


I would recommend this nursery, the staff are great.

Since starting at the nursery my child has enjoyed each and every room. All the nursery staff are welcoming and friendly.
The nursery nurse in preschool is fantastic, even though she has to deal with a group of children she always takes the time to spend with my child and myself. Should any challenging
behaviours appear she takes the time to help me with strategies to use at home and she implements them in the nursery.
My child can count, knows colours and his vocabulary increases every day which is down to the nursery, they stimulate him and his learning is through what he likes to do. I was really pleased to see on the board in the room a list of what the children are currently interested in. My child's was building - I have not told the nursery this - they have watched him and taken his interest on board and adapted them to learning.
Thank you Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton for all the love and support you have given to my child on his journey through your nursery. I cannot recommend you enough.
One happy mum.

When my daughter started at this nursery she was very delayed on her speech, with the help and encouragement of the amazing staff she has caught up in 6 months. She is constantly surprising me with new words. She is also always super excited to go and to tell me about her day which I take as a sign
of an amazing nursery. They have healthy meals which even a picky eater would love. They have an amazing relationship with us as parents and always make sure they can do everything they can to support our child to the fullest.

I couldn’t thank the manager and the whole team for the past three years looking after my child, it only took his first week being at Holyrood Day Nursery Castleton for the fabulously trained staff to highlight a problem with his development I had already worried about. At that moment I knew my boy
was in the best hands. Three years later and he’s ready to transition to school, he wouldn’t be as ready as he is without the help of this wonderful team and not only would I recommend but I have - many times and now his baby cousin attends too and is very well looked after.
The support, care and dedication they have given to not just my child but us as a family too has been invaluable. The SEND support is exceptional and they are always supporting his needs, nothing is ever too much and they are not just like this for my child, I see this every day with how attentive they are to every single child they have. I wish we could take them all along with us on his transition to school!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Castleton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.835 for Holyrood Nursery Castleton is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.835

  • 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 Castleton 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 80 number of registered child places is 16, 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.
