Excellent kindergarten! My daughter asks to take her there every day. She really enjoys spending time there and returns home happy. The kindergarten has a large garden and children spend a lot of time walking outside.

My son has been at The Hollies for almost a year now and started when he was 9 months old. He is always so excited in the morning when he knows it’s a nursery day! The staff are all very kind and caring and provide a safe, fun learning environment for the children and his key worker is wonderful. We
are kept well informed and management is always there to answer any questions if needed. The large garden area is a great space, well-equipped, and my son absolutely loves playing out there, he can’t wait to show us what he has been up to when we pick him up! Overall, we are very happy with The Hollies and would highly recommend.

The team are so lovely and very personable. They genuinely care about the children and make bonds with them all. My son has settled in so well to nursery life and enjoys his days. Communication has been very clear throughout using the app and responses are fast via email also. I have no qualms about
recommending the nursery.

Our son is well looked after and thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery. He knows some of the staff very well and feels very comfortable with them, which is lovely. The range of activities he does at nursery is excellent. He spends lots of time outside playing, which he loves, and the staff encourage
this.

Spring Nursery The Hollies is a great nursery. The kids do a wide range of activities, the food menu is varied, and the outside space is ideal for running around. The staff are all very friendly, and the use of the app is helpful.

My child is looked after so well, we are very lucky she is at such a good nursery. Her previous key worker was engaging when she was in the baby room; kind, caring and always supportive. Her current key worker is incredible, she knows just the way to deal with my child and is fair, kind, caring, nurturing
and pushes development. The whole team is fantastic, everyone works so well to make sure the children are happy, safe and engaged. My child loves nursery.

My 3.5yrs old has been attending this nursery since she was 10 months old and has recently been joined by her 1 year old sister. The staff are all lovely and the children do so many activities/educational learning/play and just have so much fun. They obviously enjoy the food as every day the app tells
us that they have eaten everything! Both my children love going and this is all down to the fantastic staff. I would recommend this nursery for anyone looking for childcare in Taunton.

My son had attended this nursery from the age of 9 months to 4 years. The environment is great, it’s really bright and open plan, with loads of outside space. The different age groups get to mix together, which I really think is a bonus as they make so many friends and it’s almost like being part of
a big family. The staff are outstanding in their care, patience and imagination in what they do with the kids. It has a very relaxed and happy feel when you go in, and you feel that the staff genuinely care about the kids and enjoy what they do.
My son has always eaten really well and he loves the food there.
I would definitely recommend this nursery to anyone looking for somewhere safe and happy for their child, where they will be encouraged to develop and have lots of opportunities for imaginative and creative play.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.661)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.661) out of 10 for Spring Nursery The Hollies 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.861 for Spring Nursery The Hollies is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.861

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Spring Nursery The Hollies is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.9

  • 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.
