I have had 2 of my children attend this nursery, and I couldn't praise the Nursery team enough!


The team are always, welcoming and supportive of following home routines. They have always cared for my children like they are their own.


The team build strong relationships with parents and really

take time to understand and get to know your child. They make home times something special by updating parents on what's happened throughout the day and what your child has loved most about the day.


I wouldn't pay anywhere else to look after my child, he has special bonds with the team and looks forward to attending 5 days a week.


Thanks team!

My 13-month-old daughter has attended Holyrood Nursery - Media City - since October 2018. I'm struggling to put into words how incredible this nursery is, my daughter LOVES it and I love the feeling of comfort I get when I leave her there because she is so happy!


The staff are wonderful, so helpful

and approachable. The nursery itself is a lovely environment, its clean and bright. I feel lucky that my daughter goes to such a wonderful nursery and would recommend it to anyone!

After moving to Holyrood from another nursery, I can't express enough how happy I am. My son has settled instantly and all the staff have made him feel very welcome, he now actually enjoys going to nursery. There is so much for him to do and explore and his days are varied.


The management team have

been very accommodating and have ensured that he is completely happy at Holyrood before his official start, he has had as many settle sessions as he has required and nothing has been an issue.


I would highly recommend Holyrood Media City - our family is much happier now that we know he is happy.


Thank you!

Friendly and helpful staff starting from the moment you enter Holyrood Nursery. My daughter is always happy and excited to attend. I always get a report of the activities and food consumed alongside with any additional information that needs to be relayed.


Very satisfied and glad to see my daughter

happy and content at the end of the day, which shows she’s had a good day and is well looked after.

A big thanks to Holyrood Medicity! My daughter started going to the nursery when she was six months. She enjoys going to the nursery.
My daughter is a good eater, and all credit goes to the nursery. Even on difficult days, the staff take proper care of my kido.
She is learning more at the nursery.
Thanks a lot, Holyrood Nursery.

Our little boy has been attending Holyrood Media City for 18 months and we would highly recommend it. The manager and her team are all friendly and welcoming and they have created a fantastic learning environment for the children to explore including the outdoor gardens and play area. The nursery is
always clean and rooms are kept to a high standard with lots of natural light. We have been especially impressed with the food on offer which is homemade by the nursery chef rather than cheap bought in catering options. Our son loves attending the nursery and we are confident that he receives a high level of care.

The junior has been at Holyrood Media City for two years now - she loves it there and gets on really well with the all of the team. They're always busy, messy and generally getting stuck in and enjoying themselves! Just what you need.
Would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Putting my son in this nursery was by far one of the best decisions I have ever made! He was quite a shy lad when he first went but soon settled in, with the help of the amazing, friendly staff. My son always comes home happy and excited to tell me about the new stuff he has learnt. I love how polite
and helpful the staff are and the connection they have with all the children. I know my son is looked after and the nursery is very safe. I would highly recommend this place for your child.

Great facilities, friendly and welcoming staff, safe environment. Thank you all for taking such great care of my son, he loves the Holyrood Nursery and all the staff. Every day he surprises us with the new things he learned at the nursery which is a great thing at a very early age as well. The staff
are welcoming the bilingual children and make them feel equal to others, facilitating the learning of children's first words through practice which is very important to us. Fantastic place. Thank you.

My baby always had a good experience - very friendly people. My second baby has just started nursery and she loves it. My babies are happy and

My children have been going to Holyrood Media City for over 4 years. The outside space is great, plenty of space for the children to run around, climb, cycle, and they can even help feed the animals! The staff are friendly - my daughter gets lots of cuddles, especially if she's upset when I drop her
off.

My DD has been going to this nursery for little more than 6 months now and I can see a real good improvement in her communication and her confidence is definitely being built up, all efforts goes to nursery even though both mom and dad are working.


There are few improvements required,
1. Food

- have rated good, only for the fact that we are an Asian family and would appreciate if the nursery could consider some Asian food varieties included in their menu. At times at home it gets tough to get my DD to accustom to Asian food.
2. Resources / Equipment - my DD is the babies room but her ability and her development has far grown to be in pre-school, advice to nursery to include few items that are in pre-school to be included in the babies room.
3. VFM - rated as good, typical Asian thought if prices are reduced that helps :)


Overall I am happy to send her to Holyrood.

I took my daughter out of a nursery that had a better Ofsted rating, and was more convenient for me in terms of location and proximity to my work place and placed her in Holyrood Media City, and it is the best decision I made, as I was very unhappy with her 1st nursery.
The best thing is the staff
and the care they give to the children. All the staff that have had any dealings with my daughter have always been very attentive, caring and nurturing towards her. She has always been made to feel as comfortable as possible, and so have I.
They always go above and beyond, and never make you feel like you are asking too much from them.
The management team are very efficient at dealing with any queries, which again makes life easier for me as a parent, and they are also very approachable towards parents and children.
My daughter is fussy when eating at home, but loves the food provided here which is great as I know at least 5 days of the week she is eating a very healthy and balanced diet.

Our daughter loves this nursery. There are pigs, chickens and rabbits so if your child loves the outdoors it's the perfect place for you. They have frequent trips round the area too, and the nursery is a bright, happy place full of light.


The staff are extremely professional and very kind to the

children - we feel that our daughter is safe there, and she's always excited to arrive. For us that's the ultimate tribute.

We have had one of our children at Holyrood for about 2 years, both full time and part time. The staff in the different groups are overall very nice and supportive. The nursery rooms are regularly changed and the kids have lots of space, including a nice outdoor area. My son loves the food and I believe
it offers enough variety and healthy choices.
The area of improvement would be communication. As a parent I have had more than one occasion where I have communicated something to 1 or more members of staff, to later be asked about it because the information was not shared with the other members of staff.
Overall I am happy to leave my children at this nursery.

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.
