Since starting my daughter at Holyrood she has come on in leaps and bounds. She thoroughly enjoys her time at nursery. The staff and management are fantastic. I wouldn’t think about alternative childcare, the nursery is very clean, bright and friendly.
Jade, C
This is an amazing, friendly and welcoming nursery. My daughter settled in really well and loves attending. All members of staff are lovely and caring. As a working mum, I know my daughter is safe and being well looked after and doing different and fun activities. These include learning new sounds, football, dance and many more. I cannot fault this nursery at all. The food is freshly cooked which my daughter loves and they have a brilliant outdoor area for all types of weather.
Outdoors and Nature
We love to get outside at Holyrood, Swinton! 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 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. It is our belief that there is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. For this reason, 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! Holyrood Nursery Swinton is a registered ECO-Nursery and is committed to teaching our children about their environment and the effect we have on it in our day to day lives.

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