I’m so glad we chose Holbourn and couldn’t wish for a better place to send my daughter! It’s such a wonderful, loving and caring environment. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much. As a parent they really listen to you and they see the children as individuals. The activities are always varied and stimulating. My little one is always excited when we pull up outside and comes home happy and well fed. A truly wonderful place for little ones, I can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing nursery! My son started here with very little speech, hardly any social skills, limited eye contact and destructive behaviour - because of the work put in by the staff and myself through their guidance he’s came on in leaps and bounds and you wouldn’t believe he’s the same little boy! They are so dedicated to helping families 💕
My second… son is just about to leave to go to school in September and it really is like it’s his second family, home away from home. Looking forward to my daughter being able to start!
Thank you for all you’ve done over

Both of our toddlers absolutely love it. They wake up in the morning and shout they want to go to Birnie. We were so lucky to find this nursery, the staff is amazing and you can feel real passion and feeling of joy when you leave your kids with them. Outdoors and playground area is great encouraging kids to explore, role play and be creative not to mention the Forest School, which is absolutely fantastic for their development and learning about living closely with nature. All in all we are so happy our kids are in Holbourn House:))

My daughter attended for 8 months, and we couldn't have been happier. With a focus on keeping the children happy, the team offered a gentle introduction to a new environment - something I and my daughter greatly appreciated. Over time, I realised just how much the team cares for the children in their care. No matter who greeted me at the door at pick up time, they always knew who my child was, could update me on any issues that were had, and could give reassuring feedback that was genuine. Words cannot express how grateful I am to the team for all their dedication and hard work. One of the best

My son Harry is severely disabled and that has not phased them ... they get on with things and are incredibly inclusive, adaptive and supportive. The nursery is warm and homely and the staff are incredible. Nothing is too much trouble, you will not find a lovelier environment (or people) to look after your little ones! The care, knowledge and experiences they provide children is top notch!!

Highly recommend - my daughter was non verbal , low in confidence who didn't enjoy playing much or new people, now diagnosed as having autism she is well settled in nursery she's found her non verbal voice… through the hard work and passion from holbourne , signing and seeking out company or others , confident and having so much fun and laughter with all the team. This place has changed our lives and consider them as family! It's a pleasure leaving her , something I never imagined !! X
