About this day nursery

Hollins Wood Childcare, located in Stockport, SK6 5BB, aims to provide a nurturing and mentally stimulating environment for children to grow, focusing on individuality and encouraging development through play and natural resources. The nursery prioritises making families feel comfortable, offering free settling-in sessions for a smooth transition.

Comprised of several distinct rooms, the facility caters to different age groups: the Bears room for infants aged 0-16 months, the Bunnies room for 16 months to 2-year-olds, the Squirrels room for 2-3-year-olds with an outdoor play area, and the Hedgehogs and Owls rooms dedicated to pre-schoolers, where Early Years Teachers prepare children for school by fostering their independence. Additionally, Hollins Wood Childcare operates The Treehouse Club for children aged 4-11, offering before/after-school and holiday care, including pick-up services from local primary schools.

The ethos of the nursery is built on four key values: 'Soil' representing foundations for growth and education, 'Sunshine' for a fun learning environment, 'Shade' for safety and peace of mind, and 'Water' for promoting a healthy and balanced diet.

Our ethos

Hollins Wood Childcare’s aim is to provide a secure, stimulating and caring environment which will encourage your child to develop to their maximum potential whilst in a happy atmosphere. This will give your child the opportunity to challenge themselves through play and experience a curious and natural variety of resources.

Our son attends Hollinswood Nursery 2 days a week, he has attended since being 1 years old and he absolutely loves his days there! The staff are all so loving and caring and really take care of our son, they always update us on the fun things he has been doing throughout the day and he loves his food (x 2 all haha!) we couldn't have picked a better environment for our little one to be in, and already have our next baby registered for when i go back to work! Thanks to all at Hollinswood for providing such a caring, nurturing nursery for him!

Having recently moved to Marple we were looking for a nursery for our then 2 year old son. We were quite concerned as it was a big move for us but importantly a completely new environment for our son. Honestly did not need to be worried one bit, the team Hollins have been great! Professional, friendly and more importantly our son is well cared for. They spent the time to ensure he integrating well into the new environment whether that was ensuring he was making friends, eating well or keeping on top of toilet training and kept us reassured all the way. So much so he seems to be a fully fledged member of the nursery and loves going there. The nursery is secure, the app they use for comms is brilliant and I would highly recommend them.

Would not recommend this Nursery at all. my child came home with bite marks & bruises, my child also kicked off in the car stating that he didn’t want to go. As he didn’t feel safe. This is from a 3 year old little boy & This was on a regular basis. I complained to the room leader to be told that this is part & parcel of my child mingling with other children in the room. This isn’t good enough. I’ve since moved to a different Nursery, my child seems so much happier & positive. He also hasn’t come home with any marks at all. Avoid at all costs
