June 25, 2019 at 12:00 amI cannot recommend or praise this nursery enough! They are absolutely outstanding. My daughter started this nursery when she was just 5 months old, she was the youngest baby and I was anxious about leaving her at first, I need not have worried at all. They are brilliant, my daughter loves it here, she arrives with a smile and leaves with a smile, the staff are always friendly, caring and I know that they genuinely love their jobs and those children in their care. You can see it on their faces when we arrive and when I collect her. They take time to fill you in on your child’s day, I love the diary of their day I get each day filling me in on her diet, activities and sleep times. I am completely 100% satisfied and know that I chose the best nursery. She’s coming on leaps and bounds and I just can’t thank Holyrood Day Nursery Astley enough for taking such good care of my precious daughter. Keep up the good work.

August 7, 2019 at 12:00 amWe brought our daughter for a look around at Holyrood with the thought of possibly moving her from her current nursery.
We found the look around very informative and she was able to answer all of our questions without any problem. The staff were interacting with our daughter and she was soon running around with the other children. The outdoor space alone was amazing and we have made the decision to move our daughter to Holyrood, she can’t wait to play with the rabbits.

October 2, 2019 at 12:00 amThis nursery has been amazing for my son. I have no doubt about sending my second son there when his mother returns to work, after maternity leave. The staff are extremely helpful, the site is amazing with its large outdoor areas and the management team are so caring and helpful.

October 4, 2019 at 12:00 amThe staff are the best and the facilities are exceptional. I reluctantly took my daughter out once her big brother started school so they could be closer together, but have recently moved her back to Holyrood as the level of the support received from the whole team is irreplaceable. I felt very fortunate and relieved that I could get her back in.

October 9, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son started at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley in August after being with a childminder for 6 months. He has come on leaps and bounds after starting at the nursery. He loves spending time in the huge outdoor area and is always happy and smiling when we drop him off and pick him up. The staff in the toddler room are always very friendly and informative. The nursery is clean and presentable. The meals they provide my son sound delicious and healthy! Thank you to Holyrood Day Nursery Astley for being the best!

October 9, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son started at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley at the beginning of Sept ’19 having moved from a previous nursery. Every member of staff at Holyrood has been very helpful and made us as a family feel very welcome.
The staff have spent time with my son getting to know him and have assigned him a key worker based on who my son struck up a bond with.
My son loves going to nursery, often asking for the staff at home. He runs in in the mornings and gives the staff a cuddle and then happily waves me off with a kiss. At home time we often “sneak” in to see what our son is getting up to. He is always happy and is included in activities. We have witnessed the staff interacting with our son, and they are all firm but very, very fair and loving towards the children.
We only wished we had moved our son to this nursery sooner!!

October 9, 2019 at 12:00 amWe have one daughter currently at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley and one just left for school, and they both love it. The youngest actually asks to go at the weekend! The staff are brilliant, very attentive to the individual needs of the children and, most importantly, genuinely caring. I know my little ones are well looked after. The outdoor space is especially good, and the forest school sessions have been a favourite. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending!

October 15, 2019 at 12:00 amHolyrood Astley branch is a great nursery. We have two children attending and both are very happy and excited to go to nursery each day.
There are always new activities in both year groups that entertain our children. They come home happy and smiling.
The eldest especially loves forest school and the teacher. He is very energetic and provides children with fun outdoor activities whilst providing them with valuable understanding of nature.

November 1, 2019 at 12:00 amWhile my sister attended the setting she loved every minute of her time there. She was welcomed every day with a big smile and this was very comforting. The staff and management team did all they could to support us with any query that we had.

November 12, 2019 at 12:00 amI have always been very happy with the level of care and educational facilities at Holyrood Day Nursery Astley. My son has been attending since he was 18-months, and it is so good I am keeping him here until school age. The outside space is outstanding, and the forest school ethos the fresh air lifestyle we lead. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

November 19, 2019 at 12:00 amMy son loves coming to nursery and always has a smile on his face. All the staff are great with him, he loves the outdoor area a lot, as there is a lot to play with. He especially loves a bug hunt with the forest school teacher. I wouldn’t want him to go to any other nursery.

November 25, 2019 at 12:00 amVery welcoming and brilliant set out. All the staff are loving and caring and brilliant with the children. My child loves the nursery and has made lots of new friends.

November 25, 2019 at 12:00 amThe nursery has fantastic outdoor areas which have some very engaging areas for children to flourish and develop.
The impressive building has some big rooms and although very busy seems to offer a friendly and warming welcome and the children look happy and engaged.
The staff seem to be happy in their roles and this transfers to the atmosphere in the building.
Overall I think this is one of the best in the area.

November 25, 2019 at 12:00 amMy little girl goes the Holyrood Day Nursery and she is in preschool she is loving it in there as she has come on leaps and bounds since she has moved up. They do loads of lovely activities with the children. The gardens here are very big and all the children love going outside in the cars and the other toys when I pick up my little girl. All of the staff are all very friendly and are very happy to help you if you have a problem or have any questions. All of the management team are very happy to help you with any questions that you may have.

July 1, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son joined Astley Nature Kindergarten when he was 15 months old after having been with a childminder for 8 months. I was very concerned that he would adjust poorly to a bigger, louder, busier group especially as contact with other children outside of the childminders was minimal thanks to the pandemic. He did amazingly well during his contact sessions which were arranged to accommodate my work schedule and he absolutely flourished thereafter. He started 2 months ago but it already feels like his second home. He goes to the nursery every day with a big smile, loves all the staff, and can already identify/greet 3 of the staff members by name. He spends a lot of time in their gorgeous outdoor space which I am thrilled about as we lead an outdoor lifestyle. I love reading about what he’s been up to during the day and love seeing photographs of him interacting with the staff and other little ones. The staff are always happy and enthusiastic and are always available if I have any concerns.
