Overall Experience

This is such a wonderful nursery! From the moment I stopped by to find a nursery for my dear granddaughter. I was greeted with a kind and friendly welcome. I am so pleased we decided on Bluebell Barn just over. 2.5 years ago! The kindness, care and dedication of the whole team is outstanding. The nursery

manager you are such an amazing leader! A particular staff member and all the outstanding team in cherries are a credit to the nursery! I can't thank you enough for all your kindness and support during what has been a personally challenging year for our family.

Overall Experience

My 2 year old thoroughly loves going to nursery here. We drop him off and he'll walk in without saying good bye and never wants to leave on pick up!
The staff are fantastic, friendly approachable and always willing to do what they can.
Only on one occasion have I had a complaint, it was addressed

immediately and has not happened again.
Outside space could do with updating but it's simply because it's well loved by all children all throughout the year.
I would very much recommend this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son started at Bluebell Wood after leaving his previous nursery. The staff ensured he settled in so well and seemed very lovely. They give a good handover when I pick him up and I am kept updated with the app. They make lovely art folders that the children bring home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend

this nursery.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery for a year now and the staff are brilliant with him. He has speech delay but they find ways of communicating with him, he is always happy to go in and his confidence has grown so much since being there!
The atmosphere when you walk in is really lovely

and calming, I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking.

Overall Experience

I recently moved to the area 5 months ago and am so pleased that I found Bluebell Hill. My little boy, once settled, absolutely loves it. You can really see how much the teachers care about the children which is so important. They do lots of fun activities with them and I have noticed, since starting,

he has come on in leaps and bounds and is growing into such a happy confident little boy, which they have played a big part of. Anyone considering bluebell hill it comes highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Could not recommend this nursery more. They do so much with the kids. My baby is 11 months old and joined when she was 9 months old. They really know her, even called me on her first day there, as I'd said on the form she napped at 12 pm and she'd fallen asleep at 11 am and whether that was alright!

Communication is brilliant, all the staff in her class know her and know when she isn't herself. Her socialisation skills have massively increased as has her confidence. She loves going and I love the app which gives detailed updates and photos. Best decision and I know my daughter is safe and being well looked after.

Overall Experience

My little girl loves going to nursery at Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery. She has only been going a short while and only does 1 day a week but she has adapted so well to her new environment. She has bonded well with all the staff. When we are walking towards the nursery, she gets so happy. She enjoys

her food there too.

Overall Experience

I would say it is a lovely nursery, my child has really come out his shell from starting in February 2024, his confidence has massively improved since attending. Apart from a few things, that have been sorted, I can't fault it.
My only concern is the pricing from 7.30 start to 8am is a little high

considering it's only half an hour earlier start. I completely understand some staff have to come in early because of this but the fee is a little high considering. Having 2 year old funding and still having to pay doesn't make sense to me as we struggle financially as it is. And also the parent admin isn't always accurate with nappy changes.
I would like to make a shout out to one staff member in particular in the Jellyfish room, she has been amazing with my son and also really helpful if I've had any questions. It's really nice for my son to familiar faces to help settle. Always very welcoming.
I would like to see more photos of activities in the future. To really see what my son is up to while there.

Reply from Carmen Weller, Project Coordinator at Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery

Thank you for your review. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are so pleased your child has settled so well. Our jellyfish team are amazing so thank you so much for your positive comments about our staff. Please continue to discuss any concerns that you may have with the wonderful team or management. I will be sure to pass on this review to the staff team, and we thank you again for taking the time to leave your review.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended this nursery since April 2024 and we can honestly say there has not been a single problem. We researched a lot of local nurseries and went to three show-arounds, Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery being one of them. The nursery manager took us for our show around at Bluebell Barn

and she was so informative and polite. We were introduced to all the staff and given information packs to take home. We immediately decided on this nursery for our daughter and she started a few weeks later. After starting, the staff at this nursery helped us to create a routine for our daughter, adapting as she grew. She has now been attending for four months and is always happy, she loves going to nursery and the staff that work here are so amazing and caring. They look after the children so well and are able to give a detailed debrief of their day upon pick-up which we absolutely love. Overall, we are so happy with the care and love our daughter receives here and we cannot recommend this nursery enough.

The staff have been so supportive to get our little one settled in the last nine months. We're so impressed with all the fun activities he does. He's learning so much and has gained so much confidence. We're so impressed with how well he is cared for with cuddles, sleep, food, being attentive to teething

needs and all other needs and we can see how much he loves all the staff and the environment. Love all the messy play, hartbeeps and outdoor play they get to have. Plus so many updates throughout the day on the app!

Overall Experience

My son is currently in Blueberries at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery, joining the nursery in April 2024 at only 7.5 months.
He has settled in so well and to this day, has never been upset on drop-off and that is a true testament to the girls in the room giving him such good care. It is such a relief

knowing he is clearly happy and enjoys his time with them, on drop-offs they put their arms out and he leans out my arms to go straight to them.
Any issues/concerns I have raised have always been immediately dealt with by management. The manager is amazing at getting straight back to you without leaving you waiting ages for a response, she is very approachable.
My only niggle is the app, there seems to be internet issues at the end of the nursery which means updates don't always come through. I love being able to see how he's doing throughout my working day so would be good if it worked consistently.

Reply from Carmen Weller, Project Coordinator at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery

Thank you so much for your review. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the nursery and that your son is happy when you drop him off. It is always nice to hear kind words regarding our staff team as they all work so hard to make a difference. As for the internet issues, this is something we are aware of and unfortunately, it is due to the location of the nursery but we are hoping it'll be better with the houses there and another connection going. I will pass this review on to the staff team, thank you again for taking the time to write a review.

Our daughter has attended Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery since she was 8 months old. She settled really quickly which was a huge relief for us. She is almost 2 now and she has loved every single day at nursery! She is very close to her key worker who has been amazing with her!
We love getting the

updates about her activities, what she eats etc., it's nice to see what she has been up to.
Since attending, our daughter's confidence has grown massively and she comes home singing songs and telling us about her day. Thank you Bluebell Barn!

Overall Experience

My son has been going to Bluebell Hill Nursery for over 2 years now. He suffers from epilepsy and has had difficulties with his speech and integration post-covid. I cannot state highly enough how well they have looked after every aspect of my son's care, including seizures, whilst he was on their premises.

In every single interaction I have had, with every member of staff, they have gone above and beyond in their care of my son. I am not usually somebody who takes time out to write reviews but in this case, I felt compelled to. I wish that I could name-check members of staff for specific praise but they all deserve it. The support of the nursery and its dedicated staff has made a real difference in the life of our son and how he moves forward in the future. A big thank you to everyone at the nursery for all that you do.

This is a well-run nursery with excellent members of staff. Both my sons go here and I wish they could go more often. My eldest has come along well since joining, with his amazing and dedicated key worker demonstrating such care and professionalism when managing his sensitivities. My younger son has

not been attending for long, but I can already see he loves it here as well and the outdoor space in particular is perfect for him. The nursery has a focus on outdoor play and external activities which are perfect for my sons. From what I have observed, every member of staff is brilliant.

Such a lovely nursery. Lots of great activities, enthusiastic and very reassuring staff. Our little boy has thrived since being there for the last year and a half. There's a really nice "vibe" when you walk in and I always get a good feeling. Any concerns we've raised have all been addressed immediately

Overall Experience

My child attends Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery and they are absolutely thriving. I was hesitant at first when my child started, as we hadn't been apart before, but I was instantly put at ease when I saw how happy and looked after my child was. My child's days are filled with fun and educational activities

and the freedom to explore their personality. They are fed well and always kept clean and looked after. My only criticism is the switch in food menu when it comes to spring/summer - the dinner is more of a snack type of meal instead of a hot meal and my child rarely eats it so we need to provide another separate meal once home. Although this isn't directly related to Bluebell as it's provided by catering. I would just like to see a substantial afternoon/evening meal instead of picky bits. The autumn/winter menu is great! I cannot recommend Bluebell Barn enough and if I have more children, they will also attend there.

Reply from Carmen Weller, Project Coordinator at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and the feedback about the caterer's spring and summer menu, we will ensure to pass this on to them. We are so happy to hear how much you and your child love Bluebell Barn. I know the management staff will be pleased to read your lovely comments and I will be sure to pass this on to them.
