Ofsted-registered Holly House day nursery and 2 Kool 4 Skool out of school club is now under new management. In June 2019, former primary school headteachers and husband and wife team, Darran and Clare Nash, took over the popular premises, located in central Walkden, Worsley.

With more than 18 years’ experience as headteachers (and with Clare still working as an Ofsted inspector) we are delighted and proud to be introducing ourselves as Holly House’s new owners.

Our aim is to build upon the nursery’s and out of school club’s many strengths and successes to provide the best possible experience for all our children and parents.

We are determined that every child in our care is given the opportunity to grow and develop to their full potential. We will nurture eager minds with compassion; we will encourage teamwork and a sense of community; and we will ensure that every child is supported to be the best they can be.

Both the nursery and out of school clubs have experienced and dedicated staff all working tirelessly in this cause.  Parents and carers can be confident that their precious child is being looked after and cared for to the highest standards.

We are currently rated Good by Ofsted, the most recent inspection having been carried out in January 2017. Please click on the link below to read the full report.

Holly House is deservedly renowned for its warm, friendly, caring and safe environment. To find out more about this very special place, please give us a call (0161 790 2779) and make an appointment to have a look at our purpose-built facilities and wonderful outdoor spaces. We look forward to meeting you!

Went with my Daughter in law for initial visit/look round. Guided tour and chat provided by the owners, really welcoming and we immediately got the impression it's a well run Nursery focused on all aspects of the children's care and learning experiences. My granddaughter loves it there, she settled from day 1. Regular updates are given via internet -meals, toileting etc. I would have no problems recommending Holly House to anyone.

I highly recommend Holly House. My son has been going here for a year now and LOVES it. The staff are so friendly and helpful, while being professional how they care for and help to educate the children. They have given their all through Covid and adhere to the necessary rules which make me feel safe leaving him in their care.

Have had a horrific experience here, they rang social services because my child had nappy rash. They described it as being so dreadful. The social worker said that when she got the referral she was expecting something really bad. . Social worker turned up and examined my daughter and confirmed it was a tiny bit of nappy rash. Police and social services were all saying they had made it out to be so bad and said there was puncture marks all over my daughters private area. We were shut in a small office and they refused to let me take my children despite there being NO COURT ORDER. I'm back home with all of my children now and no one has any concerns but they were trying to make out my child had been badly abused. I get to see their accusation soon, as I have requested it but already been told its bad. Complaints will now be going in but I beg you Do not send your child here. I was fooled to thinking that it was good and then this happened . Still in shock. Stay clear of this dreadful place.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. The staff and the management here are amazing. I always knew my daughter was safe and happy here. She left last year to go to school and still always talks about Hollyhouse being her favourite place. I am due another baby soon and I will most definitely be sending baby to Hollyhouse. Would not want to use anywhere else
