My daughter has been going to Blue Sky since she was 9 months old. I have been really impressed with everything about the nursery, the staff in particular. She always goes in and comes home so happy and her development has been incredible to watch. We receive regular updates and communication on the
app, which are lovely to see. Cannot fault Blue Sky at all!

A big thank you to the Blue Sky Nursery Team, when my daughter has been extremely happy and joyful every single day for over a year now. We are sad to leave you, but we would like to thank you for all the support and dedication you have shown, especially two members of staff, in particular, and a few
more other who unfortunately are no longer part of the team. Also thanks to the new staff We totally recommend them. Obviously there is always room for improvements in all kind of aspects, but my daughter has taken what was best from that environment. Everything else she needed is provided by us, the parents.

My little girl started Blue Sky nearly a year ago and her skills have gone from strength to strength thanks to the support that the blue sky team. My daughter is so happy at Blue Skies and always has been from day one.
I knew this was the nursery for us when I did the viewing and my daughter got straight
down and played with the other children in the nursery without getting upset, whilst I view the rest of the nursery. She didn't even notice I had left the room until I returned. Now I drop my daughter off she gives me a friend saying goodbye and blows a kiss, and she's off with an excitement to play with her friends and see her teachers.
I suffer with chronic illness that causes me joint pain and back pain, the staff at Blue Sky are always happy to help me take my daughter upstairs and bring her down. They have adjust supported my daughter. They have also supported me as her mum. The team really do work with the families.

Our little girl has been attending Blue Sky for almost two years now and we could not be happier.
From day one the staff have been so welcoming, knowledgable and friendly. It really feels like a home from home.
We receive regular updates and observations through the app, and it's evident that the
team always put so much thought into their planning and activities. In particular the Sunbeams staff have been exceptional.
They offer a range of foods that we probably wouldn't think to offer at home, meaning our girl is always willing to try new things. They also run regular events throughout the year for different holidays and charities, which are exciting and engaging for the children.
The garden is a little smaller than some other nurseries but they make great use of the space both inside and outside.
Our little one is confident, sociable and hitting all her milestones, and I credit Blue Sky with a lot of this. The Manager should be very very proud of what she has created here.

My little boy loves going to nursery at Blue Sky Day Nursery and Pre-School. They always put out some sort of messy play that he loves and they actually let him be messy, and the pictures we get through of him playing are great. He's not always keen on his lunches (much like at home) but they always
make sure he has extra of something else to make sure he's not hungry and always communicate really well with how well he's eaten that day.
He knows everyone that works there and it feels really homely when he comes in and everyone's saying hello and saying his name. We moved him over from a bigger nursery and it was the best decision for him.

Blue Sky Day Nursery was the best choice I made for my little girl, she comes out happy every single time and always gets excited when attending. The staff go above and beyond to care for my daughter and do not treat her just like a number. The staff are professional, and understanding. My daughter's
cognitive development has really come along since starting, by far the best nursery for the little ones. And I always receive updates about my daughter throughout the day.

My son has been attending Bluesky since September and I cannot put into words how glad I am that this is the nursery that we chose for him. He is currently awaiting his autism assessment, so he has some developmental delays, including his speech and communication skills. He used to really struggle at
drop off and become so distressed but now goes in with no issue.
The team are all amazing with him and acknowledges every single accomplishment that he makes and I can see they are genuinely so proud of him and pleased when he achieves something new.
An incredible nursery with incredible staff.

The staff's dedication and care have significantly contributed to our daughter's development and we are deeply thankful for everything
she has learned there. She leaves with a strong foundation, valuable knowledge and great memories.
Thank you for all your support and kindness. We will always hold the nursery in high regard.

My daughter has been at Blue Skies for around 18 months now. And she has thrived the entire time.
After going to a previous nursery where she regressed in her speech and other abilities, I was extremely nervous about sending her back to a nursery again. But Blue Sky has nurtured and encouraged her
to shine.
She loves going to every session she attends and I barely get a goodbye in the morning.
Being a first-time mum, it was daunting being away from her, but the team always ensured that we were kept up to date on her daily activities and we got lots of lovely crafty gifts.
If I have another child I 100% know where they will be going.

I normally don't do reviews but I will have to make an exception because Blue Sky Day Nursery has helped my daughter overcome the attachment that she had to me she opened up and is always so happy when she comes out and when she goes in. They are all fantastic people they are very understanding and
I never had any problems even when my daughter attends I still receive notifications about how she is doing or what she is learning and I also get to see pictures of her having fun. She's always got a smile on her face.
Thank you to all the staff at Blue Sky Day Nursery for such a wonderful job you do every day.

We can’t speak highly enough about Blue Sky Nursery. My daughter absolutely loves it here and looks forward to attending it’s like a home from home and we feel really comfortable that our daughter's wellbeing and safety is cared for and is their top priority. The nursery assistants are so attentive
and caring and really encouraging in my daughter’s development and confidence and we have been so impressed by how well she is doing.
The facilities here are great and really kept in top condition by the owners who are always on hand to help and discuss anything and it really seems that nothing is too much trouble for them. Having seen other nurseries in the area we are so glad that we picked Blue Sky as they have really exceeded all of our expectations.

Blue Sky Day Nursery is a home-like family-run nursery. All of the staff are friendly, and patient and make you feel at ease. Since I was pregnant, and the 1st visit back in January 2023, I knew this was the right nursery from the start and this would be the best nursery for my daughter to thrive and
enjoy and learn. My daughter settled very quickly upstairs and loved everyone there. Always friendly, happy-go-lucky, and full of energy. Handovers are always good and as a parent the way this nursery is run makes you feel so settled and know that your child is in a safe happy and loving environment. I would rate this the best nursery in Maidstone. Ever so grateful to all of the staff. Looking forward to the ongoing journey.

When it was time for my child to start nursery I had my reservations about leaving her. I looked at all of the nurseries in my area and Blue Sky was the best by far. My child has been there for four days and I still remember her induction week, where I went in with her and met the preschool assistants
and felt very reassured. Blue Sky is like a home away from home. My child has been loved and cared for just the way I would want her to be. She comes home daily with pictures and art that she has made. She has made wonderful friends who she talks about all the time. Blue Sky have wonderful activities around special seasons and is really inclusive to all. All staff have been happy, friendly, upbeat and informative about my child’s progress. We are extremely happy that we chose Blue Sky and it is going to be hard saying goodbye to the team!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Blue Sky Day Nursery and Pre-School 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.929 for Blue Sky Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 Sky Day Nursery and Pre-School is based on 21 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 21 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.
