Some of the Ofsted comments about Hollies. “Children settle very quickly in this happy and vibrant nursery. They become confident and develop excellent relationships with staff and each other. Staff know the children extremely well, which helps to support their emotional well-being effectively.” “Staff are excellent role models for children, they set high behavioural expectations and children behave exceptionally well.” “Staff have outstanding partnerships with parents and other professionals.” “Staff use assessment exceptionally well to set children goals and plan for their progress in learning. The manager rapidly identifies gaps in children's development and provides individual support to help close them promptly.” “Leadership within the nursery is extremely strong and very effective in raising the standards for children. Leaders are expert at evaluating the quality of the nursery and continually make significant improvements. They have addressed the recommendations from the previous inspection. As a result, staff teach communication and language skills extremely well.”

A beautiful new registration venue, in the heart of Nottingham. Book your ceremony in the newly refurbished Grade II listed wedding venue and enjoy the stunning surroundings of Arnot Hill Park and lake.

Outstanding Childcare For Your Little Ones... Family owned day nursery Hollies has been inspiring learning for life for over 25 years... Hollies Day Nursery has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted. With three settings across the north of Nottingham in Arnold, Sherwood and Mapperley, we have our own Forest School run by fully qualified Forest School Leaders supporting our philosophy of ‘Outdoor Learning For Life’! But don’t take our word for it, here’s what one of our parents has to say... “I know my daughter feels very comfortable at Hollies, she loves the staff and I know she comes home having regularly tried new and different experiences. She is very interested in being outdoors, and loves small bugs and animals which I think this has come from her experience of Hollies Forest Schools and being outside in the garden every day. Her language is progressing really well. She has learnt about manners and being polite and has developed her self-care and hygiene skills. Recently we have been having difficulties at home

motivating her to brush her teeth, Hollies have been very supportive of this and have been doing activities tailored around this, which has helped us at home to motivate her. I have also been really impressed that Hollies have offered places on training to parents. It was great to attend the workshop on ‘Monsters v Superheroes’ not only did I learn a lot myself, I also saw how dedicated and fun the staff are and felt lucky that my daughter is in such a fun, learning environment like Hollies.”

We offer free sessions from local activity providers such as TinyTalk Baby Signing and Toddler Talking, Mama Baby Bliss yoga, Spanish lessons with La Jolie Ronde and Huff & Puff music and movement. The children also work with the Nottingham in Bloom team on a rolling project that aims to make children and their families ‘Ambassadors of our Community’ by learning about how important it is to respect and look after our parks and open spaces.

We won’t entrust your child (or our reputation) to anyone less than the best! Let’s teach your baby to swim!
