Reviews

I am very pleased with all the staff at Holyrood Nursery. It is an amazing nursery. My son, since he has started attending this nursery from September 2017, has improved his English a lot, which is his second language. He loves to go there and he always has a good time with new friends. The staff are caring, understanding, supportive and very competent. The kids in this nursery are happy, clean and safe and I would highly recommend this nursery to friends and family.

My son loves going to the nursery. As soon as he sees the nursery his face lights up and he runs up the path to the door. He has been made to feel very welcome moving up to the three’s room and is always happy when I go back to collect him. Staff are always happy to help and will always pass on information of what he has been doing during his session and how he has behaved

Both of my children have been at Buoys and Gulls since they were 1. My daughter has now left but the change in her confidence levels since she started was great to see! My son loves the 3-5 room and loves his time there. I feel like both of my children have made great friends and good connections with staff. I know that if I have a problem, I can go to most of the staff members there and resolve it. I know my child is well looked after and safe which makes me feel less guilty about leaving him to go to work.
