October 3, 2024 at 9:57 amHe is so cheerful to attend every morning which is fantastic to see. The team are very attentive and know my kid very well. They do a variety of activities every week and try and focus on my kid’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 consistently sounds like lots of enjoyable. My kid has a food allergy which is consistently catered for. If team are unsure about something, they will contact me to ask, which I think is fantastic. I would thoroughly suggest the childcare centre to anyone. My kid has attended this childcare centre for a number of years and absolutely loves it.

October 4, 2024 at 2:16 amOver the past month or so there have been many changes (great ones) and not once has it interfered with the care for my daughter, and we consistently 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 team at The Hollies! Thank you! My little girl has been at The Hollies now for almost two years and she loves it, the team are incredible and consistently cheerful to help, even on a weekend my daughter gets up and asks to go to childcare centre!

October 11, 2024 at 3:04 pmMy daughter absolutely loves it here, she will not want to go next year. Can not suggest enough! The team are fabulous. The team who now runs the Chorley on is a real credit, but everyone at the Chorley Hollies are so compassionate supportive and attentive. Remarkable pre-school.

October 20, 2024 at 7:18 pmI was impressed at the range of activities available for the kids on a daily basis when being shown around the childcare centre. There is plenty of space for the kids to be playing, and they also get time to playtime 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 team I have met are very welcoming, approachable and seem to adore their job. The manager is particularly inviting 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 childcare centre but seems to be having a blast while he is there, engaging with adults outside his family and the other kids. His physical and mental development has come on in leaps and bounds since starting at The Hollies. My son started at The Hollies earlier this month.

November 8, 2024 at 11:11 amI was really nervous when he first joined, as my son is my first kid and I’ve never left him so long before. Now he can’t wait to get there as he has so much enjoyable and I am confident that he’s being well looked after. The childcare centre 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 suggest the childcare centre to anyone considering. My son loves this childcare centre and as a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the development he had made and the effort the team goes to, to make sure he’s developing well and ultimately having a excellent time.

December 3, 2024 at 5:57 amWe consistently found the team to be very supportive and welcoming, and consistently put the kids’s safety and needs first. I would definitely suggest the Hollies childcare centre as a excellent place to send your kids. Both my daughters have been at Hollies, one is still there and one left in September to start school, both girls really enjoyed it.

December 7, 2024 at 4:32 amThey both formed very positive bonds with their key workers and all of the team at the childcare centre. All team were consistently very welcoming and are consistently available to talk to. The Hollies has a very homely sense to it and I consistently felt reassured when leaving them in the care of others. Both my kids attended The Hollies from being the age of 8 months old, they both settled in really well and throughout each room, they were consistently well cared for and their needs were consistently met.

December 10, 2024 at 3:27 pmThey are willing to adapt to your kid’s individual needs and are very great at communicating with you as a parent/guardian to work closely with you, to help your kid grow. Incredible childcare centre and team, very welcoming and welcoming.

December 18, 2024 at 7:53 pmWe chose the childcare centre for its large bright rooms and excellent outdoor space. The playground has now been renovated, and our son tells us it’s excellent. The large field at the side they go on is also a excellent benefit in our eyes. We have seen some team changes in our time, but our son has consistently loved going, and they consistently seem to have had high standards with recruitment. The current manager and her team are fantastic and have been excellent 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 team team. 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.

January 27, 2025 at 3:45 pmAll the team are very nice and expert. There is so much to do for the kids, lots to do and great food. Also lots of activities for them and discovering so much as you would in school. I suggest The Hollies to all the parents who have kids, this is the best childcare centre to go to. Number one childcare centre for the UK. My son goes to The Hollies Private Day Childcare centre and he loves it.

February 18, 2025 at 10:02 pmThe team are lovely and welcoming, my boy loves the team and consistently comes home talking about them full of joy! The facilities are remarkable and vast. It’s just a joy for my little boy to come out of childcare centre talking happily about what he did that day. Highly suggest The Hollies. My little boy goes to this childcare centre and honestly, I cannot say a bad word about it.

April 3, 2025 at 6:28 amThey particularly delight in all the arts and crafts activities. Our boys are very cheerful at the childcare centre and we really appreciate the extra lengths team go to on their behalves to make their days as enjoyable and educational as possible.

April 5, 2025 at 6:02 amIt took her a few weeks to get used to going, but the team 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 childcare centre when we drop her off with a big smile on her face, waving us goodbye. The only thing I would adore to see more of is possibly photo updates throughout the day via WhatsApp as I know other friends’ kid’s nurseries provide, but I understand that there is a discovering book that can be accessed. Our daughter started childcare centre in August this year, she only goes once a week, but despite this, she has settled in really well.
Arden Marsh
April 16, 2025 at 1:23 pmThe team were incredible 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 childcare centre team in her room.
The activities are consistently excellent and linked to her interests.
I would definitely suggest this childcare centre as my daughter couldn’t by happier! My daughter started at The Hollies in September.
Indigo Rowe
April 19, 2025 at 4:17 amMy 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 childcare centre which makes home life easier too.
Have already recommended to friends! The team are welcoming and accommodating.

April 21, 2025 at 11:05 pmI 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 childcare centre, and it is solely down to the team and their dedication to the kids. 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 childcare centre (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 cheerful to assist with this and go above and beyond to ensure anything is dealt with. I could not suggest this childcare centre enough – it’s incredible! Both of my little girls have attended The Hollies; one is still currently there, and the other left for school.

May 2, 2025 at 4:20 amHer self‑assurance has come on in leaps and bounds which is every credit to the team who care for her, all of them are lovely. They have handled the Covid situation so well in ensuring our kids are well cared for and secure. 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 playtime, 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. I’m so cheerful we found The Hollies for my daughter – she started around 18 months ago in preschool and has thrived there.

June 9, 2025 at 12:02 pmHas a excellent bond with keyworker. I have recommended this childcare centre to friends and two of my kids have attended. We both work full time so our daughter is in from 8am until 5.30pm and her development has been incredible. Consistently arrive at pick up to a smiling kid.
Arden Hayden
July 6, 2025 at 7:26 pmI have full trust in this childcare centre and they haven’t yet disappointed. My kid has developed rapidly since starting at The Hollies, as well as he consistently 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 discovering. Fast response to let us in, no waiting around especially in the morning when you have work for 8 am. Really welcoming team as well and the manager is really welcoming and gets stuck in when needs must. Overall very, very cheerful about this childcare centre and would suggest it to anyone. We moved from a different day childcare centre which was appalling to be quite honest and as a parent who was worried every day about the protection of their kid inside a childcare centre and then to come to The Hollies and all of those worries went.
Phoenix Quinn
July 7, 2025 at 11:11 pmThe setting has a lovely big garden with plenty to do. They try to take the kids 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 team consistently 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 team are fantastic, and loved by our daughter.
There have been staffing issues previously but this is throughout the childcare centre sector and not only The Hollies. The new manager is positive about the future of the childcare centre, has big plans and is a very experienced childcare expert. The team 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. Our daughter loves going to The Hollies, she goes in with a smile and leaves with a smile.
