Blue Sky Day Nursery has been an awesome place to learn and explore for my 21 month old son. He learns new words every day he comes home and teaches me some of them. Amazing, helpful and friendly staff members. They have a safe word for the little ones when they are feeling sad they go for cuddles.
Absolutely amazing. They have a cool app that we all communicate and see his development and how his day has been.

My daughter has been attending this nursery for 2 years and she has loved every minute of her time here. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and highly attentive to all the children's needs. They offer a wider range of well structured and varied activities that keep the little ones entertained
and engaged throughout the day. They offer a real home-from-home experience that really made my little girl settle in with ease. She has formed some lovely friendships over her time here and has developed so much in every way. I honestly cannot praise them enough for all they have done - they always go above and beyond in every way possible. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Our son has been going to Blue Sky Day Nursery for over 3 years. I was initially reluctant about him going to nursery at such a young age, (around 9 months old at the time) however, my opinion has completely changed over this time. Watching the skills learned, and confidence gained in himself as well
as the development of social skills with other children, as well as the staff it has been fantastic to see. The pandemic has been handled well, and communication has been adapted to ensure parents are kept as informed and involved, as we were prior to restrictions being introduced. It will be a sad day when nursery ends as our son goes to school in September, it is like an extended family. Our son has a genuine bond with all the staff and we are grateful for all the support they have provided over the time he’s been there. The management and staff have all been exemplary.

Very pleased that I chose Blue Sky Day Nursery and Pre-School nursery for my son. Not only did I chose the nursery but my son did too! As soon as he had a walk around he instantly settled in and felt so welcomed by everyone who greeted him. It was clear from day one he would be settled here until he
was ready for the big move to primary school. The nursery teachers are all very friendly and have dealt with my sons various moods every morning perfectly! They’ve always made him feel comfortable and he’s always very excited to get up and go back every morning. It has been so nice to see how much he has developed within the space of a year, with his new skills, emotions, friendships and much more. It’s fair to say I can’t thank everyone at Blue Skys enough for everything they have done from the very beginning to nearly the end of his journey at nursery and it’s very sad to think it’s coming to an end but on the positive side I feel that the nursery have got my son so ready for primary school. Very happy!

Our son started the nursery a few months ago and has settled in very quickly. He clearly enjoys going and we know he’ll be happy and well looked after whenever we leave him.
The staff are friendly and welcoming and we’re always kept up to date with everything they’ve done in the day.
We cannot speak
highly enough of the care our son receives, from small things like letting us know the new things he’s learned to how they go above and beyond (such as going out of their way to add specific items our son needs to their shopping list).

My daughter has attended Blue Sky Day Nursery for 9 months, since she was 10 months old. The staff are very caring and warm. When I leave her in their care, it is with great peace of mind that she will be treated warmly and will have a wide variety of activities to take part in. We have been welcomed
into the Blue Sky family and there is great care taken to inform parents of our children's day and all the things they got up to. They are very good at capturing little moments throughout the day in photos for their learning journey and to show them having fun. My daughter loves the variety of meals and eats well. She enjoys the interactions with the staff and the staff are very kind and compassionate.

On every occasion when either collecting or dropping off my grandson, the staff are polite and always welcome you with a smile. They are always helpful and supportive.
There is a lovely caring feeling within the building where you can see the children are extremely engaged in a wide variety of activities
for educational and fun purposes.
The areas are very clean and the building if well maintained.
I have been very lucky to have been invited in on special family days to take part in activities with my grandson. I think days like these equally important not just for the families but also for the children as you can see how proud they are of their environment.

The Manager and the team have been excellent with my little boy. As soon as we visited we knew it was the right place for our son. Clean, welcoming and the staff really go the extra mile to care for our son and help him progress in his learning and growing. He is so settled in the nursery, really really
happy and that’s all down to the excellent staff and general feel of the nursery. His key worker is doing an amazing job. No complaints at all and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Blue Sky Day nursery to anyone who needs childcare. 5* 100% recommendation from me.

As our family is from another country we were concerned about our child adaptation in the nursery. My child doesn't speak English so I was really glad when she told me after a short period that she feels happy to be in the nursery. She was welcomed warmly and friendly. I think that the staff are great,
gentle and really hard working. They give their best to make children feel comfortable and confident. I like the fact that there is a big variety of activities and amusements for the children so I would recommend them anytime. Thank you Blue sky for being so careful and supportive.

Thank you to everyone for helping with my son at nine months old, its great to know that when at work he is somewhere where he feels truly comfortable to a point when I pick him up he gets excited then wants to go and play again!
I love that he comes home covered in pen/paint/sand and is messy as
I know even more he’s got stuck in and involved with whatever has gone on and had fun and always comes home smiling shortly followed by being grumpy as he’s so tired from the day (which helps with our bedtime routine lots!)
I can't wait for him to venture out more like the older ones do and explore and love watching him grow each day learning new things and being pampered by everyone as he’s the “baby” of the nursery which I’m sure he also plays on and loves all the attention.

Our little boy's integration into nursery has been an absolute pleasure of a journey with the gentleness, empathy and expertise of the staff at Blue Sky Day Nursery. He has gone from a little boy who had never left his mum or dad's side to clapping his hands when we pull up! He is confident and happy
and has settled beautifully into the nursery. He is learning so much and the staff provide a home from home environment and I never feel that my little boy is lacking a mummy as all the staff take over the mum role and provide him with all the comfort he needs. We wish Blue Sky Day Nursery was around 5 years ago for our first!

My son has been going to Blue Sky Day Nursery and Preschool for a year now - both he and I are very happy.
He started out as a clingy baby who, if I left the room, would become upset. He is now a happy, confident, inquisitive toddler who has come on so much. The team are all part of how my son has
developed and I couldn’t fault them. I have no issues recommending the nursery and know my little boy is happy to go and be left at nursery whilst having lots of fun.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.971) 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 5.0 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.971 for Blue Sky Day Nursery and Pre-School is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.971

  • 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 17 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 17 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.
