My experience with this nursery has been fabulous. My son settled in after several weeks of lots of tears due to him being really clingy to me and only used to being with family. The staff were very patient with him and shared ideas and feedback on how to help him adjust to nursery life. I felt reassured
and comfortable leaving him there and they worked wonders as he now arrives at the nursery and is smiling and happy to stay there and sometimes doesn't want to be picked up early.

Very good and caring staff. This was our first experience with any nursery and our little one was welcomed with lots of love. She now likes to come to the nursery. Good cleanliness and they have a wide range of activities for children.

Holyrood Hope Nursery is a very welcoming and friendly nursery. My children are very well taken care of and have lots of fun activities to take part in. The nursery is always clean, and the room has a very modern feel. All the staff are lovely and are always happy to answer any questions that arise.
Staff always phone promptly if there has been a mishap or my children are unwell. I am extremely happy with the care my children receive, and have peace of mind knowing they are kept safe and happy whilst I'm at work.

My son has been attending this nursery for a few months now. He has settled very well. He had never been left before so this was a shock. The staff were very friendly and kept me informed of everything that he had been doing.

This is an excellent nursery. My one-year-old is smiling and happy every day when I pick him up which makes leaving him so much easier. The baby room is lovely and calm with lots for him to do and the staff have been fantastic with him (and me!) my little boy adores his key worker.

All the staff have been very friendly and worked really hard to make my child feel safe and happy here. They've taken on board all her needs like her comfort toy and snacking habits. Holyrood Day Nursery Hope has settled really quickly here.

As it was the first time using a nursery, I was really nervous and anxious about the whole process. The Manager talked me through it and showed us the nursery twice with a big smile and answered all our questions. In regards to days my daughter is in the nursery I was pleased they could make necessary
arrangements. I would highly recommend it.

Our daughter started at the nursery at the beginning of the year. She has really settled and enjoys it here. She walks in confidently and goes straight to her carers and the activities she sees. The staff are lovely and very helpful, answering any questions you have. She is really happy here!

My 2 and a half-year-old daughter loves going to nursery here, she has a blast every day.
I assume the food is fantastic because she eats everything, every day and often has seconds!
The children spend lots of time outside in the garden which contains lots of toys/activities for them (a bike,
a sandpit, water stuff, a tunnel, a bridge, a balance beam).
The fact she runs to the door every morning because she is looking forward to another day I think shows how great they are with the children.
The only thing I would like to see is her bringing home more paintings/crafts she has done during the day -- she often comes home covered in felt tip pen or glue but very little in the way of her creations gets handed over at pickup time.
The newish manager is very approachable and they initiate change based on feedback which is great to see.

My son clearly has fun every day at nursery and has excelled in confidence in recent months and I believe that this is due to his nursery days. He has become explorative and clearly learns a lot when he is away from us as parents. The nursery gives him a safe environment where he is free to roam and
explore (and make a mess of course). The fact he knows the name of every child and staff member says a lot too.

Great nursery with excellent staff.


I have noticed great progression with my child since he started coming to Holyrood and look forward to seeing him progress even further.


All the other children appear happy and well cared for.

My daughter started at Holyrood Hope at the beginning of June and has settled in really well, the staff were very helpful during this period. The manager answered all of my many questions and was very good at making me feel at ease about leaving my child. All of the staff are very friendly, smiley and
approachable and my daughter gets very excited when we enter the nursery building. She also looks like she has had the best day when she leaves, she always has a fresh nappy and dry clothes. The nursery provides a slip with information regarding nap times, nappy changes and food/milk consumed during the day, which is useful however I think maybe if this was recorded in a book or file it would be better to keep all the information together. There are lovely displays in the baby room with photos of all the babies and the activities set out each day are varied, the room is welcoming and safe. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Since joining the nursery my son has become more socially active and loves to go the nursery everyday. Highly caring, supportive, understands individual needs. Would definitely recommend to others.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.797)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.797) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Salford Royal 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 4.797 for Holyrood Nursery Salford Royal is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.797

  • 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 Salford Royal 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 63 number of registered child places is 12.6, 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.
