Absolutely amazing place, I know my child has loads of fun there and I love the activities they do with him as well as images they send us. You can tell they care for your child as much as you do, always happy to help and give you advice. Being a parent is hard but Blue Giraffe Childcare helps make
it easier by understanding what you are going through and I know my little one is in safe hands.

Blue Giraffe Childcare is an outstanding nursery, my little girl really enjoys attending. All the staff are brilliant with the children and attend to every need. The staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Daily feedback is given at the end of each day which is very detailed, activities
and golden moments are also uploaded onto the app for parents throughout the day which gives parents more of an insight into their child's day which is lovely. My daughter was very shy and quiet when she first attended and they have done amazing with her. She has really opened up, becoming more chatty and really shown her own little personality. Communication between staff and parents is good, in either phone calls, email and on the app. My little girl really enjoys her days spent at nursery, loves all the staff and I wouldn't send my children anywhere else.

My daughter has been attending Blue Giraffe nursery since she was eight months old. The staff are lovely and give amazing feedback at the end of the day. I receive a daily diary of what my daughter does while she is at nursery. Also, I receive pictures of her day during activities which are lovely to
see when I’m away from her during her time at nursery. Definitely worth the money, and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Blue Giraffe are an outstanding nursery. From the moment my children started, I felt welcomed. All the staff have the utmost care for every single child within the nursery. Since my eldest started in preschool back in December 2022, myself and my son have been supported every single day he attends regarding
his potential SEN needs. Nothing is ever too much to ask! Well done girls and thank you!

Can't thank all the staff enough for settling my daughter in so well at the nursery. My daughter has such a special bond with her key worker and is so excited to go to nursery. Communication is amazing and parents are kept well-informed about what's going on at the nursery. I recommend Blue Giraffe
to everybody. All the staff are so caring and bubbly and I know my daughter is in safe hands. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery.

My daughter absolutely loves her time at Blue Giraffe!
Fantastic team who go above and beyond to help with any issues or worries. I am always kept well informed of her progression whilst in their care, either via their interactive parent app, phone calls or in person. My little one and I are regularly
invited to attend beautifully organised social events, celebrations and workshops throughout the term; which are a great way of meeting staff, other parents and their children. Managers are warm, welcoming and attentive to detail (which doesn't go unnoticed!) My daughter is now in preschool and has made strong bonds with both her caregivers (especially one in particular, whom she adores) and her peers. She loves her regular outings to the park, the care home and to the library! My little human is happy and safe and I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough..... We love it! Thank you for all you do.

Reply from Lucy Stafford, Manager at Blue Giraffe Childcare (Droitwich)

Thank you so much for the review Fay. We are so pleased your happy with our communication app and also that your little one loves going on the outings we do!

Blue Giraffe Childcare is fantastic and so supportive of individual children. They tailor care to individuals. When my son was having a hard time due to the arrival of a new sibling they were a huge support to the whole family, particularly him. Through patience and exceptional care, he has settled
well into life with a sibling. The staff are hard-working, imaginative and caring and no two days are the same. The links with local communities, particularly the care home, have really boosted my child's experience. Every week they are making changes or improvements to different areas, even after receiving their outstanding they continue to develop the nursery and its facilities.

My three-year-old twins really love attending preschool. They are always busy exploring real-life situations such as looking for and learning about snails, understanding diversity in our community and excellent communication activities. I have also been impressed with all the parent workshops that they
offer which allow us to have a great insight into their preschool experience. All the staff are friendly, polite and know the children well. They take the children into the community such as a walk to the shop, the park and spending time with residents at a local care home.

My son has been attending this nursery from the age of 3 months old. The manager and her team are absolutely fantastic with taking good care of my boy with regular updates throughout the day via an app, also with lots of activities for the children to help them build the skills they’ll need at an early
age. The staff are very friendly and always have time for each child and give excellent feedback at pick up time of the child’s day. Great value for money, great location and overall a fantastic nursery for your child to attend!

My son has been here just under a year but he absolutely loves it. He comes home happy (and tired!). Doesn't want to leave. The staff are wonderful they are all happy all the time and have lots to say about his day and fill me in on what they have been up to. I feel confident sending him there and he
will be there till he's too old to attend! Great place, would recommend to everyone.

From day one all members of staff surprised me with their welcoming attitude. My children have had struggles in the past to get used to the nursery environment, but thanks to the engaging staff, my kids love to go to nursery. Going to the nursery is no longer an issue for us, the opposite on the days
we can't go, they get even a bit sad that they are not able to play with their friends and tell the nursery staff their stories and ideas, or just tease them.

My daughter went to after school club here and thoroughly enjoyed her time there. I found the staff polite, knowledgeable and enthusiastic as well as engaging effectively with all of the children to make them feel comfortable and at ease. They were able to explain and demonstrate a thorough understanding
of SEN and safeguarding expertise. I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.937)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.937) out of 10 for Blue Giraffe Childcare (Droitwich) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.937 for Blue Giraffe Childcare (Droitwich) is calculated as follows: ( (134 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.937

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Giraffe Childcare (Droitwich) is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
