Cannot fault this nursery, my son has come on leaps and bounds since starting at the nursery a year ago. He really enjoys his time there and tells me who he plays with, what he’s been doing and what songs he’s been singing with a big smile on his face. The staff are lovely and always so welcome and
helpful. I’d recommend this nursery to anyone.

My three year old daughter goes there three days a week and she has so much fun. The staff are absolutely amazing in terms of interacting with the each individual child's needs. The nursery is nice, clean and tidy. My daughter enjoys this nursery compared to her previous ones which I am very pleased
with. If you're looking for a place for your child then I would definitely recommend you go and visit the nursery for yourself.

I would say my overall review is good. The reasons I would say they could do better is more outdoor trips. I am aware if teacher/child ratio but I am sure myself and others would volunteer. I also think extra activities such as dance/language would be good.

All staff at Holyrood Castleton are amazing! I felt immediately at ease from our first visit and it is clear my son loves it there. There is a real family atmosphere and parents are regularly included in activities or asked for feedback.

My daughter has attended Holyrood Castleton since February 2017. She adores all of the staff and enjoys all of the fun activities that are set out each day. She had developed very well since attending the nursery physically and socially. Seeing her happy and smiley as she goes to play with her friends
in the setting is an absolute dream and I am confident in leaving her in the care of the lovely ladies that care for her on the days she attends. Thank you, girls, for making me, my daughter and her daddy very happy x

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.
