My little boy attends this nursery and has for almost 1 year now! It was one of the biggest decisions I had to make with who I was going to leave him with when I went back to work but I can honestly say I absolutely chose the best place!!!! He loves every day at nursery and has come on so much since
being there! He cheers every morning when we pull up and all the staff are always so welcoming and on hand to help any way they can! For anyone looking for a nursery, I would definitely recommend Holyrood day Nursery Castleton!

My daughter has been at the nursery for almost a year and I am so happy that I chose Holyrood Castleton for her. My daughter has come on so much since attending the nursery and loves going during the week. You can really see that the time she spends at the nursery is helping her become the confident
little girl she is turning out to be.


The staff are fantastic with her and the other children and the nursery is a great environment. I would highly recommend Holyrood Castleton to anyone who is thinking about sending their child there. I can't thank them enough for the work they do and the time they spend with my daughter.

Couldn't wish for a better place for my daughter to go to. I have had all 3 of my children go to the same place. We live out of Rochdale but wouldn't think of taking my daughter to another nursery.

Feedback provided following the most recent parents evening was listened to and acted upon almost immediately. Fantastic service by the management team!
Also, great to see changes made to the menus, I think the new meals are proving very popular!

The nursery is everything we, as parents, could wish for great care and management. The food I have heard from my daughter is very good and healthy. I also think the care and education of the nursery staff are fantastic. My daughter really enjoys attending and we have no concerns. Lastly, she has come
on leaps and bounds in confidence which is partly down to the nursery. Overall the nursery is really clean, tidy and lots of fun things and toys for development.

Holyrood Day Nursery is great. My child has been coming here since he was 8 months and I am very happy with the care provided over the last 2 1/2 years. My child has developed into a confident and happy person. He has good numeracy skills and great social interaction. Nursery lets him express himself
confidently and well.

My grandson started Holyrood Day Nursery in November 2014- like any parent I was initially apprehensive leaving him, I had nothing to worry about. The staff were and still are brilliant. My grandson looks forward to going every day, he loves it! They eat a varied healthy diet and the activity structure
is well balanced with learning and play. I looked at a few nurseries locally but am happy I chose the right one in Holyrood Day Nursery. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

Everyone has always been very pleasant and easy to talk to. My child's key person has always had time to listen to any issues and supported any outcomes. The nursery manager is personable and easy to talk to which in my opinion is very important. The key person and supervisor in pre-school really enable
the children to be prepared for Big School.

I have been using this nursery for 8 years now. They have been great with all my children. The nursery is very well managed. Staff are great. There is always lots going on for the children i.e. activities and I am kept up to date with my child's observations also everything is filled so I can see my
child's progress which is great. My child will be starting school next year so will be quite sad to not be using the nursery anymore after all these years!

My son has been attending Holyrood Castleton since he was 8 months old. He has therefore spent time in all rooms covering all age groups. He is now in his last year, preschool. My son from day one has been content and very happy coming to nursery. This, in turn, has helped myself and husband to drop
him off in the morning confident he will enjoy his day ahead. The staff are very approachable and keep you informed as much as possible. The nursery has definitely put my son in good stead for his new start next year at 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.
