Day Nurseries Reviews

Parent Reviews

Rachel, M

Staff are brilliant, feels like a family. Care is tailored to each child individually with support for parents at home. Flexible with sessions wherever possible. Rooms are brilliantly set out with attractive displays and stimulating variety of activities especially the 2-3 room. Social development is encouraged with great mealtime culture and the meals are healthy and nutritious. Great culture of outdoor exercise and play.

Madelaine, C

I have just returned to work and my second child has completed their first week at the nursery. The manager and baby room staff have been amazing! They’ve been so attentive to my child during his trials and nominated care days and they have listened to and followed requests I have made. My baby uses cloth nappies and they have embraced this fully as he is not the first to do so! Plus they also have the added complication of food allergies to follow and they’ve been super attentive to this which has put me at ease greatly.

Stephanie, M

My daughter goes here one day a week, she is quite clingy to me so we have had our moments, but the nursery staff have made us both feel at ease and now she runs to them for hugs in the morning, which is lovely to see. This makes leaving her so much easier as I know she is in great hands. She is learning how to draw shapes, and has learned how to count. This is a very calm atmosphere, the children are very well behaved and the staff cannot make you feel any more part of the family.

Outdoors and Nature

We love to get outside at Holyrood, Salford Royal! Each of our 4 rooms has its own separate inviting outside space, all appropriately set up for their age groups. All of our outdoor areas provide children with opportunities to get fresh air and have fun in a safe and secure environment.

The children love playing in our gardens which offer a variety of activities including mud kitchens, water play, outdoor classrooms and many more resources to promote safe and fun outdoor play. As well as access to our fabulous outdoor play areas, children of all ages enjoy regular walks in the local area. Our youngest children are often seen out in our double buggies enjoying the fresh air, sights and sounds of the local community. We use high visibility vests to keep children safe when out on trips away from the nursery. We believe there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing – so we ask parents to provide their children with appropriate clothing for all types of weather.

We are committed to being an environmentally friendly nursery, making changes wherever we can in order to make the world a cleaner place! We are a registered ECO-Nursery and are committed to teach our children about their environment and the effect we have on it in our day to day lives.

Nursery Library

We believe that reading should be lots of fun, so we run a mini-library service to encourage children to share their favourite stories with their parents, and to help busy parents keep the bookshelf engaging at home! Our nurseries organise regular library visits as part of the learning process.

Excellent Resources

Our nurseries provide an extensive range of resources to encourage children to learn through play.  We favour naturalistic learning resources and make fantastic use of our outdoor equipment, promoting free-flow and child-led learning.

Fundraising Activities

Taking part in fundraising activities helps children to learn about others that are less fortunate than themselves and to understand how we can help them.  Fundraising events are good fun and are a great way to bring children, families and communities together.  Some of the fundraisers we have taken part in are: sponsored toddles, superhero days, baking cakes to sell and garden parties. Read about our Red Nose Day 2022 events here.

Graduations

We celebrate the big move to primary school with a special graduation ceremony each year – caps, gowns, the works!

Heuristic Play

We encourage Heuristic Play with our 1–2-year-olds, embracing every child’s natural curiosity.  This involves offering children a range of different objects and receptacles with which they are encouraged to play freely without adult instruction.

Planting and Growing

We make use of our wonderful outdoor spaces and forest areas by encouraging children at our nurseries and Out of School Care clubs to plant, grow and tend to fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs throughout the year.

Settling-In Sessions

Our nurseries offer free settling-in sessions.  Parents can bring their child for a couple of hours first, gradually introducing the child to a new environment.  Settling-in sessions are aimed at helping your child to adapt to their new surroundings and become more familiar with the staff and other children.

E-Learning Journals / Parent Zone App

Our E-Learning journals and Parent Zone app allow you to see your child’s activities at nursery with the click of a button.  Staff upload images and notes about your child’s participation in activities at nursery for you to access wherever you are.  Our nursery tablets offer exciting and stimulating learning experiences tailored to challenge and engage little ones.

The Daily Mile

Daily Mile is physical activity and health and well-being in a social, outdoors context.  It is not active play, physical education or outdoor learning, although participating in The Daily Mile can encourage curiosity and interest in outdoor environments in keeping with wider outdoor learning opportunities.  The main goal is to increase daily activity.

Food and Nutrition

Here at Holyrood, Salford Royal Hospital Nursery – we have our very own qualified Nursery Chef who creates nutritionally balanced 3 week rolling menus.

Our menus are designed to give your little one the very best start in life. We make this possible by supplying our children with home cooked nutritional food, bursting with fresh fruit and vegetables and all the essential ingredients necessary for healthy physical and mental development. Whenever possible we source our food locally and organically, including seasonal vegetables and fruit into our menus. Our children have a choice of milk or water to drink throughout the day.

Growing Our Own Vegetables

Our children have opportunities to excel as nursery gardeners with their very own vegetable patch!
