Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful, always smiling, putting children's needs first and treating them as individuals. The members of staff I have the pleasure to deal with are always going the extra mile. My son is always excited when talking about the nursery and has learned a lot there. I strongly
recommend The Hollies.

My daughter is 2.5 years old and has been going to the Hollies for 18 months. The staff are friendly and warm, the meals are home cooked by the on site chef and the facilities are so varied, including a lovely outdoor area with animals. My daughter loves feeding the goats and running around the outdoor
space.


The Hollies has provided my daughter with a safe and fun environment to learn and play, coming on leaps and bounds with the hard work of the staff. I have found the new manager both professional and hands on, making herself known to parents and welcoming feedback. I feel in the loop as a parent with regards to how my daughters day has been and the new online learning journey gives me an opportunity to see photographs and updates on how she is meeting her milestones and socialising with her peers. Would highly recommend.

I was very apprehensive about my daughter starting nursery and really didn’t want to leave her. I visited many nurseries before choosing the Hollies. I instantly knew my daughter would be safe, happy and well looked after by the team at the Hollies. The location is fabulous, my daughter loves playing
outside and feeding the animals! We are well informed by management and staff and the children seem happy and to have a great relationship with staff. We love the variety of home cooked food available to the children and know our daughter is receiving a balanced diet at nursery. I couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and would highly recommend.

My daughter started the Hollies at 9 months old and it’s the best decision I made. Since day one the staff have been friendly, supportive and caring. The management team are visible and approachable at all times. It’s set in a lovely location with great facilities.
The proof in the pudding is that
I have a happy daughter who always enjoys attending nursery.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has attended this nursery since he was about 8 months old and prior to that my stepson attended from age 1 until he started school in 2017. Throughout my experience of this nursery (5 years), I have always had the highest praise for the facilities, environment but most of all the staff.
My
son has just transitioned to the next room (toddlers) and the team have made it comfortable it has been a really successful transition (for him and me)!
In my opinion, under the more recently appointed Management, I believe the nursery has gone from strength to strength and I believe this will continue. Having the confidence to leave your children with people who you don’t know is quite daunting but throughout my whole experience, I have felt well informed and completely at ease that my son is being cared for by people who are kind, patient and highly qualified.
The activities they do with the kids are enjoyable, stimulating and the food they provide is absolutely brilliant.
Thank you.

We have been so happy with the care that all the staff at The Hollies have given our daughter. She has been going to The Hollies since being around 10 months old (now 2 and a half) and we have always felt as though her needs are put first. She has grown and developed so much with the lovely staff and
is always happy to tell us about her fun day. It’s important for us to feel happy and safe leaving our daughter there. We would highly recommend.

My daughter attends The Hollies full time and absolutely loves it. The staff are welcoming and friendly and always have time to speak about my daughter's progress, how her day has been and reassure me if I have any concerns. She has made so much progress in all areas, communicating well and every day
comes home with a new experience. The nursery keep the children safe and are very conscientious if the child has had an accident. My daughter loves the staff and has made excellent friendships too. I can't recommend The Hollies enough. Thank you.

Since my daughter joined The Hollies she has developed many more skills. All the girls are amazing. Always so welcoming and happy to see the children. The menu and food is lovely and varied, this gives her a great taste in food. I would highly recommend the nursery to all family and friends. Give the
girls a staff room - not a cabin in the cold!

My daughter has developed massively since she started nursery and could barely stand alone. She has become more content and confident within herself and around other children. She loves her time at Nursery and is always full of smiles. It's a pleasure to see her grow and play with children and staff
at Hollies. I would recommend the nursery and have no complaints with standards of care and hygiene.

I am very happy with Hollies, the staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. They have helped my daughter settle in and she loves coming and has made lots of friends. It has really helped bring on her talking and socialising with children. The staff always keep me informed about her sessions
and what new things she's trying etc. Would recommend to anyone, it's an amazing nursery with excellent and friendly staff.

The Hollies is an amazing nursery with beautiful surroundings. All the staff and management are fantastic the whole nursery has a warm and friendly feel, they couldn't do any more to make you feel welcome.
My son has been going for the last year and has flourished with the care that he is given, he
loves that he goes swimming and that they have animals which he can show his big brother when he comes to pick him up.

The Hollies is an exceptional nursery. It is homely, exciting and most important of all, genuinely caring. The staff respond to the children's needs and interests incredibly well, incorporating them into the daily activities in order to really involve all children equally. The outdoor space is unique
and is used very well, becoming an area for learning and exploration as well as fun and play. The menu changes at a sensible rate and provides new ideas for us to try at home too. The Hollies is a home from home with staff who are more like favourite aunties than anything else. It doesn't matter what time of day I have arrived, the children are always happy. I couldn't ask for more than that!

The Hollies Private Day Nursery Chorley is a lovely setting! The staff are warm friendly and experienced. They have nurtured our son's growth, interests and character over the last two and a half years, showing him genuine care and attention. The outdoor facilities are the best we've seen and having
animals on site is extra special. Our son is really happy at the nursery which means so are we.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.847)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.847) out of 10 for Partou Hilltops Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.847 for Partou Hilltops Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.847

  • 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 Partou Hilltops Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 17 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 69 number of registered child places is 13.8, which has been reached with 17 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2023

Hi, my name is Jo and I have recently joined Hilltops as Nursery Manager following five years of experience at another Just Childcare setting.


I’ve worked in nurseries ever since leaving school, gaining my level two and three qualifications whilst studying at college. In more recent years, I have worked to broaden my experience in a trainee manager role whilst also working in residential homes.


I really enjoy working in Early Years and believe it’s such an important stage in a child’s life. Watching a child grow and develop knowing I have helped and supported them on their journey is extremely rewarding.


Away from work, I am the proud mum of a four-year-old boy and love spending my weekends going on trips, camping, or taking hikes with my family. I am always eager to adopt elements of this into my nurseries as I feel that outdoor and physical education is fundamental to a child’s development.


I look forward to meeting parents and discussing more about our nursery setting.
