Our son really enjoys attending Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech). He always comes out happy and tells us what he has been doing, Blackberry also changes activities/themes regularly which we really like. The staff also give time for handovers each pick-up and drop-off so communication is really
good.

I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my child receives. From the moment we enrolled, the staff have been warm, professional and genuinely caring. The environment is welcoming, safe and stimulating, with a wonderful balance of structured activities and free play. My child is thriving here
- he looks forward to going every day.

My child receives great care and has fun each time she attends nursery. She plays plenty of time outside in the garden, draws and singing. She is fed well. She received great care when she was potty trained. Happy with the nursery and the staff.

Excellent nursery. Our second child is attending this nursery. We never had any complaints. Happy to have something like this close to our home and very good service. Friendly staff. They always give lots of information about the day at nursery and all records on child's book or Internet.

I love how my girl enjoys time in nursery. Every single time when going home, she talks about what was doing and being very excited.
Only thing I wish to see more pictures of activities on day time when in nursery and love to see that parent control app has been started to use and written notes more
often.

The running of the nursery isn't the best and communication between members of staff isn't good. My child has been sent home multiple times for no reason, nothing wrong with him. They do not stick to what they have said they will do.

All staff are very welcoming to the children, very encouraging too! Always feel like my child's needs are met to a very high standard. All staff are also very friendly and supportive to parents. Highly recommend this nursery as my son also attended and was very well prepared for starting mainstream
school. Overall, amazing nursery!

Our two children have been going to Blackberry House Day Nursery in Wisbech for two years now and are so happy there. The staff are brilliant and we trust that they are in good hands. It's like a home away from home for them. We are always kept informed about what they have been up to and their development.
We couldn't recommend highly enough!

Absolutely cannot fault the staff or the setting at Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech). My son has thrived there these past three months with his speaking, playing, independence and a lot more.
Staff have been very helpful with helping my son reach his full potential, they give great and informative
updates each day he goes via the app and in person at pick-up times. If I have concerns or something new is achieved at home, I let them know and they handle it with grace.
The setting is absolutely lovely, the vibe and everything overall are just beautiful and bring joy.
My son absolutely loves going each week and tells me all about his day each time, with the help of staff his words have come along beautifully. I cannot fault this nursery at all.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since September and is thriving. She has developed relationships with children and the staff. It's great knowing that your child is in the best hands. My daughter is learning and doing so many different things and coming home telling us facts, it's lovely.
The nursery staff are all so friendly and approachable whilst all being professional. Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking around the area.

Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech) is the only nursery I have used for both my children. Most recently my 11-month-old started and hasn't had any problems adapting. The communication between the nursery and myself is incredible, not only do they write in her diary and update the app but will speak
to me at the end of every session. Thank you ladies!

We have been going to Blackberry House Day nursery in Wisbech since July. We absolutely love the staff. They are polite and super helpful. My daughter has her quirks and they have quickly learnt what works for her and what doesn't. They make taking her in the mornings less stressful and we get an in-person
review about her day which is great and super personal. My daughter loves it there and is mostly keen to go and see her friends. The garden spaces are amazing. Inside is super spacious and clean.

My little girl has been at Blackberries for over two years and is now coming up to her last few months before school. She loves going, she loves the staff and I couldn’t fault them with how they treat her. She has come on leaps and bounds with getting ready for school and this is due to their constant
support.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.903)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.903) out of 10 for Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech) 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.903 for Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech) is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.903

  • 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 Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech) is based on 18 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
