    Our daughter started nursery in August this year, she only goes once a week, but despite this, she has settled in really well. It took her a few weeks to get used to going, but the staff at The Hollies have really helped to make sure that she settled as fast as she could. She’s not yet old enough to tell us stories about what she has done throughout her day, but it’s lovely to see her walk into the nursery when we drop her off with a big smile on her face, waving us goodbye. The only thing I would love to see more of is possibly photo updates throughout the day via WhatsApp as I know other friends’ child’s nurseries provide, but I understand that there is a learning book that can be accessed.

    My son loves this nursery and as a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the progress he had made and the effort the team goes to, to make sure he’s developing well and ultimately having a great time. I was really nervous when he first joined, as my son is my first child and I’ve never left him so long before. Now he can’t wait to get there as he has so much fun and I am confident that he’s being well looked after. The nursery doesn’t hesitate to get in touch if they need to and you can ring at any time to put your mind at rest. Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone considering.

    Both my children attended The Hollies from being the age of 8 months old, they both settled in really well and throughout each room, they were always well cared for and their needs were always met. They both formed very positive bonds with their key workers and all of the staff at the nursery. All staff were always very friendly and are always available to talk to. The Hollies has a very homely feel to it and I always felt reassured when leaving them in the care of others.

    Both my daughters have been at Hollies, one is still there and one left in September to start school, both girls really enjoyed it. We always found the staff to be very helpful and friendly, and always put the children’s safety and needs first. I would definitely recommend the Hollies nursery as a great place to send your children.

    Fantastic pre-school. My daughter absolutely loves it here, she will not want to go next year. Can not recommend enough! The staff are fabulous. The staff who now runs the Chorley on is a real credit, but everyone at the Chorley Hollies are so kind helpful and caring.

    Our boys are very happy at the nursery and we really appreciate the extra lengths staff go to on their behalves to make their days as fun and educational as possible. They particularly enjoy all the arts and crafts activities.

    I’m so happy we found The Hollies for my daughter – she started around 18 months ago in preschool and has thrived there. Her confidence has come on in leaps and bounds which is every credit to the staff who care for her, all of them are lovely. They have handled the Covid situation so well in ensuring our children are well cared for and safe. They do so much to keep things ‘normal’ in these strange times. The food is perfectly balanced – healthy and nutritious, with the odd treat and they encourage outdoor play, whenever possible. I don’t have any negative comments to add and I’ll be sad when she leaves for school. It would be lovely to see some more pictures on the parents’ app as it’s so nice to see how much my daughter enjoys her time there.

    My son started at The Hollies earlier this month. I was impressed at the range of activities available for the children on a daily basis when being shown around the nursery. There is plenty of space for the children to be playing, and they also get time to play outside every day, provisions are made for poorer weather conditions. The meals are freshly made on-site, and there is a wide variety on the menu. All the staff I have met are very friendly, approachable and seem to love their job. The manager is particularly warm and welcoming. I know if I have any questions/concerns of my own, I am able to ring her and speak to her about anything. My son is still adjusting to life in the nursery but seems to be having a blast while he is there, engaging with adults outside his family and the other children. His physical and mental development has come on in leaps and bounds since starting at The Hollies.

    My daughter started at The Hollies in September. The staff were amazing with her as a new baby and me as a very nervous mummy. She loves going now and has made some very strong bonds with the nursery staff in her room.
    The activities are always great and linked to her interests.
    I would definitely recommend this nursery as my daughter couldn’t by happier!

    Both of my little girls have attended The Hollies; one is still currently there, and the other left for school. I viewed so many nurseries locally and was drawn to this one. I loved the location, loved the fact they have key fobs for parents to just let themselves in, loved the setting and the outdoor space. Both of my girls have absolutely thrived at the nursery, and it is solely down to the staff and their dedication to the children. I have never had any problem in the three years my girls have attended, and when my daughter leaves next year for school, I’m going to be completely gutted! There are many other opportunities at the nursery (prior to covid) which I loved, Spanish lessons, dance lessons, swimming lessons. Whenever I have needed to speak to someone about anything whether it be a bill or if my daughter is okay, the management is more than happy to assist with this and go above and beyond to ensure anything is dealt with. I could not recommend this nursery enough – it’s amazing!

    Our son has been at The Hollies since he was 9-months-old and he’s now four and a half and preparing for school. We chose the nursery for its large bright rooms and great outdoor space. The playground has now been renovated, and our son tells us it’s great. The large field at the side they go on is also a great benefit in our eyes. We have seen some staff changes in our time, but our son has always loved going, and they always seem to have had high standards with recruitment. The current manager and her team are wonderful and have been great throughout the challenges of the last year. They are preparing him for school very well, and I have no concerns at all that he won’t be ready. The Hollies also have its own cook also a benefit as everything is cooked fresh on site. Thanks to all the staff team.

    My child has attended this nursery for a number of years and absolutely loves it. He is so happy to attend every morning which is wonderful to see. The staff are very caring and know my child very well. They do a variety of activities every week and try and focus on my child’s interests where possible. A form comes home asking about new interests and activities at home so that they are up to date with all this information. Every day when I pick him up, his key worker tells me all that he has been up to, eaten and created. It always sounds like lots of fun. My child has a food allergy which is always catered for. If staff are unsure about something, they will contact me to ask, which I think is wonderful. I would thoroughly recommend the nursery to anyone.

    My little boy goes to this nursery and honestly, I cannot say a bad word about it. The staff are lovely and friendly, my boy loves the staff and always comes home talking about them full of joy! The facilities are fantastic and vast. It’s just a joy for my little boy to come out of nursery talking happily about what he did that day. Highly recommend The Hollies.

    Always arrive at pick up to a smiling child. Has a great bond with keyworker. I have recommended this nursery to friends and two of my children have attended. We both work full time so our daughter is in from 8am until 5.30pm and her development has been amazing.

    Amazing nursery and staff, very friendly and welcoming. They are willing to adapt to your child’s individual needs and are very good at communicating with you as a parent/guardian to work closely with you, to help your child grow.

    My son goes to The Hollies Private Day Nursery and he loves it. All the staff are very nice and professional. There is so much to do for the children, lots to do and good food. Also lots of activities for them and learning so much as you would in school. I recommend The Hollies to all the parents who have children, this is the best nursery to go to. Number one nursery for the UK.

    The staff are friendly and accommodating. My 10-month-old gets really excited about the days that she’s in and has progressed already so much since she started 3 months ago.
    The only drawback I would say is staffing which has been acknowledged.
    With regard to my daughter’s growth and development, the team are proactive in working with us to find out routines, likes and dislikes and applying them to her time at the nursery which makes home life easier too.
    Have already recommended to friends!

    We moved from a different day nursery which was appalling to be quite honest and as a parent who was worried every day about the protection of their child inside a nursery and then to come to The Hollies and all of those worries went. I have full trust in this nursery and they haven’t yet disappointed. My child has developed rapidly since starting at The Hollies, as well as he always seems to have a smile on his face every day, he’s tired when he comes home so you know full well his day has been jam-packed with activities and that he’s constantly learning. Fast response to let us in, no waiting around especially in the morning when you have work for 8 am. Really friendly staff as well and the manager is really friendly and gets stuck in when needs must. Overall very, very happy about this nursery and would recommend it to anyone.

    Our daughter loves going to The Hollies, she goes in with a smile and leaves with a smile. The setting has a lovely big garden with plenty to do. They try to take the children outside every day (wellies and puddle suits required). She enjoys painting and creating masterpieces. There is plenty of age-appropriate activities in the rooms. The staff always ensure there are cards sent home for special occasions. Our daughter has been here since she was around 9 months, she is developing well and often surprises us with things she has learnt. The staff are wonderful, and loved by our daughter.
    There have been staffing issues previously but this is throughout the nursery sector and not only The Hollies. The new manager is positive about the future of the nursery, has big plans and is a very experienced childcare professional. The staff are qualified to at least level 3, with the exception of any apprentices who are working towards it.
    If I had to pick again I would happily pick The Hollies.

    My little girl has been at The Hollies now for almost two years and she loves it, the staff are amazing and always happy to help, even on a weekend my daughter gets up and asks to go to nursery! Over the past month or so there have been many changes (good ones) and not once has it interfered with the care for my daughter, and we always kept in the loop. This will be my daughter’s final year before big school and she is going to miss it when the time comes, she has advanced perfectly and all with the help of the staff at The Hollies! Thank you!
