Since my daughter has been at Holyrood Nursery she has really enjoyed it. Her confidence has grown and she has learnt so much here. She has learnt to count to ten and knows all her colours and much more. The staff are fantastic.

Enjoyed coming to parents evening tonight. I am very appreciative of the hard work staff at the nursery put in to ensure children here are happy and developing well. My daughter is very happy here. I was impressed this evening by how knowledgeable nursery staff were in relation to the transition process
to primary school. Emails are always responded to promptly by managers. Parental involvement is very good.

Holyrood is a lovely nursery with great staff. They aim high when you ask for something to be done and are very welcoming. Each child is made to feel unique and special and all well looked after. Both my son and daughter love it here and cant wait to get to nursery in the morning. When they are upset
the staff always try their best to comfort them and make them happy. Holyrood have looked after my children amazingly.

Both son and daughter have attended this nursery and we have been very pleased with their progress. They have always been happy at nursery and looked forward to going. The staff are pleasant and generally accommodating to any specific requests. The nursery has a variety of activities available and a
good outdoor play area. Communication with parents is great through daily sheets, parents evenings, focus group, Facebook etc.

Was in detail, how my daughter is and has progressed in the years she has been attending this nursery. Also, her key worker expressed her goals/achievements which my daughter has made and what next steps to help her improve her progress.

Fantastic nursery. The development in my little boy is immense since joining the nursery at 9 months. He is now 30 months old and thriving. He asks to go at the weekend!! The staff have a lot of time to go through the achievements of the day spent in the nursery and we get told all the details about
food, sleep and toilet time.
I have already recommended this nursery to others and they too love it.


The other thing I believe is a stand out plus is the food. The chef provides a great balance of foods and includes things that my little boy wouldn't normally try at home but at nursery he eats everything. It's a great way for me to know he is getting all the best foods in his diet.

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.
