I’m so pleased with the quality of care and great communication you guys have shown since my son started at Blue Sky Day Nursery in early January this year. I’d happily recommend Blue Sky to anyone looking for a homely, clean, comfortable, well run nursery to send their child to as I feel it’s an all-round
great nursery setting. Fantastic leadership, and lovely, friendly and competent staff. A business run by mums that know other mums' struggles and I can really relate and help out when times are tough too. A big thank you from me as my son always comes home a happy boy.

Our child has attended Blue Sky Day Nursery since June 2018 and he has a great time! We know that he is well-cared-for every day with lots of different activities and toys which have really benefitted his development. Since being at nursery his confidence and independence have really grown and this
is thanks to all the lovely staff!

Blue Sky is a friendly, welcoming nursery where my son is happy and has settled in well. The staff are always understanding and friendly and very easy to talk to. I found them to be patient with my son who took a few months to get used to going to nursery and have been flexible with me on a few occasions
too which has really helped me out.
I have regular updates on how my son is getting on through his purple book and the Tapestry links, which my husband and I really enjoy looking through. I have recently recommended a friend of mine to use them for her son and she has started him there and is very happy as well.

Both my children have attended Blue Sky Nursery (my youngest still does) they have come on leaps and bounds since starting here, their confidence has grown so much and their knowledge of certain things have widened also. The staff are absolutely amazing, never had any problems at all. The food they
offer is very nutritious meals which are always good to know, you get newsletters to find out what’s on the menu, what they have been learning about etc.... I love this as asking a 3 year old what they have eaten or what they have been learning about can prove quite a challenge. My youngest cannot wait to leave in the mornings to come to Nursery! :) thank you to the Manager staff.

My son has been attending this nursery since it was first opened. As a first time mother, I was extremely nervous about leaving my son and was very particular when it came to choosing which nursery he would attend. After visiting Blue Sky, I knew immediately that this was the right nursery for my son.
The girls were lovely and made sure I was comfortable leaving him and would do anything to make this transition easier for both me and my son. I didn’t need to worry as he loves nursery and is always happy to go. I have found it has helped his development tremendously and he has just come on leaps and bounds. I feel the girls take great care of my son and couldn’t ask for more.

My grandson has been attending Blue Sky Day Nursery for 4 months now and I and his mother could not be any happier.


From the moment he started I have seen his confidence grow and he cannot wait to go to Nursery in the morning (he even points to the Nursery if we drive past and wants to go).


The

food is great and they have been really helpful in accommodating his dairy allergy, their cook is first rate.


We would certainly recommend (and have done so), a big thank you to all the girls x

My grandchild has been attending Blue Sky Day Nursery for nearly a year now and cannot stress how happy we all are with his care. I get to collect my grandson most days he is at the Nursery and I am always welcomed with open arms and I am made to feel involved with his learning and were delighted that
I could also share the Tapestry account to see all the fun activities he has taken part in. I especially like their garden which although is a little small is full of exciting things to do and he loves the water garden kitchen. The nursery have also invited me along with his parents to mother's day celebrations and Christmas which I thought was extremely thoughtful and shows that nothing is ever too much trouble for the manager and her team. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of taking their little ones to a day nursery to choose here.

I am so glad we found this nursery! My son has been attending for a few months now and he absolutely loves it and is thriving. It is a lovely setting and so convenient for my older son’s school. All the staff are fantastic. It is the first time my son has been left anywhere other than family but the
staff are so caring of him he has built trusting relationships quickly. I love the app they use to send me updates about what he is doing and how he is developing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Blue Sky team. Thank you!

The manager and her team are amazing. Our precious little son has been with them for a few months now and he absolutely loves it. It’s so evident that it’s more than just a job for the girls. They’re loving and attentive and it shows in the attachment George has to them all. A no-brainer for anyone
needing their 'munchkins' cared for.11/10.

My daughter loves attending Blue Sky Day Nursery, she has been going there since it first opened. She has learnt a lot from going and has progressed very well. The staff are warm and friendly and I am never concerned about leaving her, I know she's in good hands.

My daughter has been attending Blue Sky Day Nursery since day one of its opening and she loves it. She has grown in so much confidence since starting. All the staff are lovely and always tell me what she has been up to at the end of every day. Which always sounds really fun. Thank you.

A brilliant nursery, after having issues with a childminder I sent my daughter here. She has come along so much in under 3 months. The days she doesn’t attend nursery she asks if she can go. This in itself shows she’s very happy here and I couldn’t ask for anything more. The staff are amazing and nothing
is ever too much for them.

My daughter started at Blue Sky Day Nursery when she was 13months. What attracted me to the nursery is the new building, friendly staff as well as the professionalism and hands on personal care for the children. Initially this was a scary experience for me because I had never left my child with anyone
(not even family). I had to return back to work so I had 'mummy quilt' But the ladies at Blue Sky Day Nursery was very good at keeping me informed with my daughters progress and making contact with me during the day to keep my mind at rest.... When I drop my daughter off in the mornings she can not wait to go to nursery. Her bond with ALL staff and children is amazing. She had learnt to walk after 4 weeks of being at the nursery and loads of talking too :-) Personal hygiene is 100%

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.
