Holyrood Dryden Nursery has been outstanding for our kids. They have been very happy and really enjoyed going to school. The playground and facilities are amazing and our kids have improved a lot their motor skills. The staff has always been very respectful, and we felt that they really cared about our children. They have also helped us a lot in the application for funded hours. Finally, we have also appreciated the fact that it was a multicultural environment. Our children did not speak a word of English and after 6 months they can communicate fluently.

We have had such a wonderful experience at Holyrood Dryden St. Our son started in Toddler 1 in September 2023 and loved it from day one. It has been a joy to see him grow, learn, and thrive under the care of the T1 staff. His key worker is especially wonderful, she quickly formed a bond with our son, making a real effort to get to connect with him as an individual. Reading his latest report, we were amazed at how well she knows him, her descriptions of his tastes, interests, personality, development etc are just spot on! We are relocating in a few weeks and will be very sad to leave Dryden St. Thank you to everyone at Dryden St for making my son's first experience of nursery/childcare/education so wonderful. We'd highly recommend this nursery to prospective parents.

My son recently started here at Dryden Street Nursery and he has settled so well! He loves the staff and seems to always be happy to be there. His room is really engaging and I absolutely love seeing the regular updates on the app.

Dryden Street is a nursery that I would highly recommend. My son has been attending since he was 11 months old and he absolutely loves it. The staff members at this nursery are truly wonderful. They care for the children with love and affection, and they are always supportive and kind to parents, offering helpful advice. They go the extra mile to ensure our son's well-being and education. The nursery facilities are very clean and purpose-built, with ample outdoor space. The activities provided are both creative and sensory, and the staff put a lot of effort into making everyday fun for the children. I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff members for the exceptional work they do.

Holyrood Nursery is a brilliant place. Our daughter started in 2022 in Toddler 2 and she loved it there. The staff are kind, patient, understanding and genuinely care about the kids. She has learnt so much at the nursery, we were always amazed at the new words and phrases she picked up. She has now moved to Early Years 2 and loves it there. It's all very exciting for us as parents. When she started I used to feel guilty leaving her there in part because I thought that I should spend more time with her, but she seems to really enjoy her time there, which made me feel so much better. The amenities at Holyrood Nursery are good, and the staff always make an effort to take info account any specific needs of the children. We were so pleased with the place that our son started there as well in 2023. The staff were very patient with him, they even managed to get him to drink milk from a bottle. Something we were unable to do- we tried for months! Would definitely recommend Holyrood Nursery.

My child has been at the nursery a year, settling in when he was 9 months old. He's done so very well, they're flexible, fair, caring, informative, helpful, and all-round lovely. I can confidently say that my child has loved being in toddler 1 for the past year, and I feel that he gets the attention, entertainment, and nourishment he needs. Often coming home with something he's painted, and always happy to go in and to see me. He enjoys the food, staff, and overall setup. They're very supportive and reactive to his growth and advancement, taking on when we want them to do something, and giving feedback on how he's doing and where they think he is progressing well and discussing changes to his routine or equipment/clothing. Playground has improved. Buggy park is often busy. Very responsive to phone calls. Rain occasionally stops the gate or intercom from working, but calling always works. Great that I can pay via salary sacrifice.

Holyrood Nursery Dryden Street is a safe and delightful place for my child. The staff are friendly, well trained and considerate. There is a true sense of diversity and inclusion reflecting amongst the staff. I feel my child is growing up in a multicultural place where he would learn tolerance and flexibility.

I am extremely pleased with the nursery. My daughter is 16 months old, she took a little while to settle, as to be expected, but the staff were very kind and helpful through this time. Now, a few months on she really loves coming and speaks her friend's names at home all the time! There are lots of lovely activities every day, crafts, painting, sand, singing, water even ice play. They celebrate major holidays with themed activities. Staff work hard to keep the children amused and on track with development and are very kind. We also get nice updates most days with photos to see what they are up to.

I love this nursery. They have always been very understanding with my little boy and have always gone the extra mile for him. I could not be happier with his nursery experience! They have helped my little boy develop and have always given him the space he needs.

I discovered a fantastic nursery for my child's early education. The staff, notably the manager with her warm smile, are always helpful. Team members are ever-ready to assist. The nursery offers diverse daily activities, fostering interaction and skills like painting and outdoor play. An app keeps parents updated on their child's day, emphasising core values and citizenship. Regular feedback covers our child's activities, diet, and progress, ensuring a comprehensive overview. Classroom updates on monthly books, languages, and songs, along with group activities, keep us informed. Children's belongings are clearly labelled at the entrance, and the staff is always available to address any questions or concerns.

Holyrood Nursery Dryden Street is an outstanding nursery. Since my son has been attending the nursery since January 2023, he has enjoyed his time there very much. It is like a second home to him. The joy he expresses, once we arrive at the nursery, shows how much he adores the place. The nursery is full of engaging activities to help children grow. The activities include painting, identifying aquatic and land creatures, building and constructing, stacking games, making music, mud house plays and other outdoor activities. The nursery staff are kind, jovial and helpful. Additionally, they provide feedback on the kids' progress. They ensure that the kids are clean, warm, well-rested, well-fed and happy. I have walked in several times unannounced and all I find is a happy child either playing, sleeping or even eating. Thank you, Holyrood, for caring for my son. If you are considering taking your child there, please do. It is worth all the money and I am sure your child will love it there.

The Dryden Nursery is extremely one of the outstanding nurseries not just in UK but actually around the world. It gives all children even new born to develop their mentality and language in an impressive manner. It is as a second home for them!

My daughter has been in this nursery for almost a year and she is very happy and content here. Staff are always helpful and special requests always accommodated. It's quite small so has a nice family feel to it as you get to know everybody that works here over time. Would definitely recommend.

So my little gal moved EY2 to EY3. The fact that the managers were so patient with her they managed to find a solution to make the process smooth for her. What I am trying to say is that they care and make sure your child is happy. Apart from that just looking at my little gal it is a fun place to be.

I think, I am happy with nursery’ Service. The kids well organised in the rooms by their ages. The staff so kind and helpful with kids. The most thing I like is the report given to the parents everyday which summarise the activity, sleep times and males given to the kids. My kid is so happy and comfortable and he learn many thing e.g. numbers, colours and animals. Overall, I think the nursery is good place for kids.

My toddler has been very happy at Dryden: he enjoys the varied indoor & outdoor activities, the delicious daily lunch and tea prepared on-site and is very attached to his teachers. His face lights up every day when we get to the gates. We feel very confident about dropping him off here each day, and couldn’t be more pleased with the rapport the teachers have with the children, the thought that goes into the types of activities provided, and the degree to which the management is attentive to any questions or concerns that arise (something I especially appreciate as a new mum). Dryden is an outstanding nursery.

We are extremely happy with the nursery, all staff are extremely friendly and professional, and our child is very happy. We are perfectly well informed of his days and his general development. We love the warm and welcoming atmosphere the nursery has created.

My daughter has been attending Dryden Street since she was 8 months old and will continue to attend until she starts school later this year. Staff at the nursery have been very supportive throughout every stage of her development to this point, and are always happy to offer advice relating to any issues we have faced outside nursery. They were particularly helpful when she was reluctant to eat and have handled her milk allergy very well - her food is prepared separately when necessary, and she is always offered an alternative rather than missing out. My daughter is very fond of the staff and still likes to speak to those who cared for her in the baby and toddler rooms whenever she sees them. I have always felt that she was safe in their care, and I believe they have prepared her very well for her upcoming move into school.

Dryden Street is a wonderful nursery, our daughter has been attending full-time for over 1 year and she loves it. The staff are super friendly, calm, patient and knowledgeable and have made sure our daughter is well cared for and educated. The facilities are excellent and the activities are creative and varied.
