My little one has been at the nursery since eleven months old. He started in Lockdown and I have always felt he was safe and well cared for whilst there. You can see how his skills have developed from being at the nursery. The staff is always friendly and approachable and clearly understands my child
and adapts to him.
The nursery have been adapting to the Covid-19 rules and ensuring child safety, they have allowed parents to go inside when safe to do so.
My little one loves his nursery and happily walks I’m on arrival.

My daughter is very attached to me and she used to cry every day that I used to leave her at the nursery, but the staff were so caring and amazing my daughter has settled in very well. I can leave my daughter there and not worry about her anymore. Thanks so much to the wonderful staff.

We picked this nursery because of its culture to nourish children independence and learn through play activities. Its indoors and outdoor environment were also important for us and both felt spacious, well maintained and safe. We loved the fact that they had few farm animals for children to feed (not
any more due to COVID-19).
The staff has always been friendly and very helpful.

My little girl has been here since she was 6 months old.
She loves it and I feel 100% comfortable when she’s there knowing she’s with the staff and Keyworkers and all the other amazing staff.
They’ve been amazing accommodating my daughter with my unpredictable freelance schedule and supportive when
I ring all the time ha!
The only negative I had was the lack of photos on the new parent zone app but now the app has been updated photos are regularly updated and I get an insight into what she’s getting up to.
The nursery staff have instilled a great routine with my baby’s nap and lunchtime which I followed (first-time mum)
All in all very happy x

My son currently goes to Holyrood Media City as my husband works at the business park. We previously had him at another nursery and since moving him to Holyrood, he has come on leaps and bounds. His speech has improved and he comes home happy every day he is there. We can’t thank the staff at Holyrood
enough, they put us at ease knowing the bad time we had with a previous nursery and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a nursery.

Holyrood Media City is a fantastic nursery. I have two children that currently attend who love their nursery days. They are full of exploration, adventure and fun. Our little girl is thriving at school, this is due to the skills put in place by the wonderful staff team. The opportunities and learning
experiences that the children get are brilliant. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, they are like stand-in mum's for my little ones while at nursery.

Holyrood Nursery is amazing. Everyone we have met has been great, including the wonderful receptionist. The staff are incredibly friendly, supportive and caring. Our daughter loves her nursery days so much. The activities are fun and educational - our daughter is learning so much. The team is wonderful
and I’m so impressed how much they know about each child - then tweak their day accordingly.
We were nervous leaving our daughter at first but soon realised she loves it. She’s so happy and learning lots - thank you.

This nursery is excellent, all staff are really friendly and are excellent with any queries. My son when started was very upset as he hadn't been left on his own with strangers. The staff were very supporting and kept regular contact to ensure us he had settled in well.
Since he started at the nursery
although only there for 2 weeks he has become a lot more aware and this is a of the time and effort the nursery put in with the children.


Thank you very much Holyroods

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My child has been at Holyrood for 8mths and absolutely loves it. We started when they were only 10mths but the team in ‘baby 1’ were so caring and great. It really helped transition not only them into nursery but me back to work.
Now in ‘baby 2’ they have so much fun, learning loads and their speech
is coming on really well. They are obsessed with the pigs and animals and it’s great to have that facility outside. It’s important to me they get plenty of fresh air and I believe they do here.
I’ve been lucky in that my child has never cried at drop off and I think it’s because they understand it’s a place of fun and that’s really lovely and reassuring. It might just be the cereals on offer first thing though.
Two staff in particular have been great key workers and I hope that relationship continues.
I’d recommend Holyrood to any close friends.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Media City Nature Kindergarten is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.743 for Media City Nature Kindergarten is calculated as follows: ( (327 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 393 Ratings = 4.743

  • 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 Media City Nature Kindergarten is based on 31 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 134 number of registered child places is 26.8, which has been reached with 31 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.
