Both of my children attend this nursery and they love it.
Myself and my husband love the nursery too. The staff are incredible and we feel that the children are very well looked after while we are at work.

I have used this nursery for both my children over the last 7 years! I have seen many changes over this time but think it is the best it has ever been right now.

An absolutely amazing nursery with decent, caring staff. My daughter has progressed so well in the months she has been attending Holyrood, and has become even more of a happy, bubbly, smart, social butterfly. I feel confident in the knowledge that she is safe and cared for when I am working. I would
(and have) recommend to anyone.

My son, who is now nearly four, has attended this nursery since he was around 15 months on a two day per week basis. He enjoys his days at the nursery and the meals made on site by the chef.


The management at the nursery are welcoming and efficient, as are the childcare staff. I trust the staff

to treat my son with care and respect and to keep me well informed.


I will be sad when my son’s time at Holyrood Princes Dock ends when he starts school, and know he will miss all of the staff who have looked after him so well.

We took our daughter to Holyrood Day Nursery Princes Dock for 3 weeks while on holiday in Liverpool. All the staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. My daughter enjoyed her time there and even learned a few French and Spanish words.

Holyrood is a fantastic nursery, it offers children a range of activities other nurseries don't. My 2-year-old daughter has attended here since January 2017, recently she surprised us by fluently counting 1-10 in Spanish and being able to say "Hello, how are you" in Spanish too! Not many places offer
that. The staff are caring and attentive, I couldn't recommend a better nursery, even though it is expensive, you do get value for money.

The Holyrood Princess Dock in Liverpool had really playful and wide clean premises with lots of toys and activity areas including the soft play area. My 3,5years old son enjoyed his five weeks even though he hardly knew any English. In no time he settled in well. The staff were easy to approach, smiley
and helpful. It is very nice that the manager happily greets and says goodbye to everyone entering and leaving. The place for pushchairs is very easy as it is next to the doorway. For us, it is very convenient that the afternoon session lasts until 6 pm (not 5pm as typical). The safeguarding was very good.


I would bring my child anytime back if we still lived in Liverpool. Thank you for the great experience.

We have had a fantastic experience at my daughter's nursery. The teachers are very helpful and professional but also with a friendly approach. My child has come on so much since she has attended the nursery.
The communication between her, me and the staff at the nursery is brilliant. She cannot wait
to go to 'school' as she would say and she is only 2.
I thoroughly believe it is because of Holyrood, it is run great.
So clean and welcoming, facilities are to the highest standard.
I would recommend this nursery to all parents.

From the lovely welcome at the reception desk to the fantastic activities each day, my son has an amazing time at this nursery.


The staff are excellent at keeping him entertained all day and I am given a lovely book to show what activities he has done that day. This book helps in the evening as

it shows his meals that day (including delicious snacks) and shows his nappies and nap times.


I feel very safe leaving my son at this nursery, everyone is so caring.

My son attends the baby room and I sometimes think he prefers it in there to home! The relationship he has developed with his key worker and the other members of staff is lovely and reassuring to me as a parent returning to work. My son is always greeted by every member of staff by name and they take
a genuine interest in his health, well-being and development. The staff have all been very supportive to my son being a breastfed baby and my wish to continue the same whilst in their care. I feel very happy with our decision to choose this nursery!

My daughter enjoys her days at nursery. She has settled well thanks to the care of the staff and has become a great playmate with her key worker.
She does different activities each day. Some of which we would not be able to do at home eg. Soft play. She enjoys the food (she eats everything) and the
menu is varied and nutritious.
The staff are friendly and caring and always take the time to tell you what they have been up to that day. The nursery is also spotless.

My daughter started nursery 3 months ago, she has made lots of friends in the baby room and talks about them when she gets home. When approaching the nursery, she becomes very excited pointing to the nursery people on the windows. My daughter is greeted every morning by all the staff throughout the
nursery. All the staff are very kind and will always go out their way to help you.

My child has been here since she was 7 months old, she is now 2 years, 7 months. She enjoys coming to nursery and is really comfortable with the staff and especially her key worker. The toddler room staff have made me feel relaxed and comfortable about having my child here and they have made her into
the little girl she is today.

When asked about the nursery, I always recommend you, as my little girl has been here since she was six months old. My little girl has progressed so much, even moving up classes before she should. If I have any concerns I only have to ask. I have a really good rapport with certain carers as they have
all worked closely with my daughter and helped her progress.

Holyrood is a very friendly, warm, happy environment. The staff are amazing, they answered all my questions with professionalism which helped me feel reassured that my child would be well looked after. Also, there is lots of space inside and out for my child to flourish.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.904) out of 10 for Holyrood Nursery Princes Dock is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.904 for Holyrood Nursery Princes Dock is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.904

  • 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 Princes Dock is based on 21 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 100 number of registered child places is 20, which has been reached with 21 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.
