Our son attended this nursery from April 2019 to September 2020. We have relocated, hence why he no longer attends Holyrood Salford. We can’t praise the staff and this nursery enough. Our son loved every minute of his time here and continues to talk about his friends from Holyrood. Every member of staff is friendly and caring. They always greeted us and our child with smiles. Our son has developed so much since attending Holyrood, and we have nothing but praise for them. This nursery has a lot of different activities for the children and encourages lots of time outside. Thank you all so much!
The staff and management are friendly, caring, and professional. My child speaks very fondly of them when at home. They provide a high standard of care. My little girl is always happy and chatting about her day when picked up. I can not fault this nursery in any way. My child loves it and I feel totally at ease leaving her in the care of the staff there. When choosing a nursery, we went and looked at several others in the same general radius. I am so glad we chose Holyrood, Salford. I love it and so does my daughter.
At first, I thought a nursery with a cheaper fee would have lower quality service compared to the expensive ones, but I was wrong. Holyrood Nursery, Salford is wonderful. The staff are really professional and always try to deliver the best they can. They are also flexible in terms of managing the slots which my wife finds it is really helpful, especially when she is a postgraduate student and sometimes her timetable has to change depending on her supervisors availability. In short, I would highly recommend Holyrood, Salford nursery. Excellent staff, affordable fees, couldn’t be better.
We love to get outside at Holyrood, Salford! 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.

Our nurseries offer a wide range of nursery activities and extras to enrich every child’s experience at nursery and to support busy parents.
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.
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.
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.

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