Overall Experience

Our little boy loves coming to nursery. He has great bonds with the staff and talks about them a lot at home. There is a great open door feel at Bluebell Wood, I feel I can discuss anything with the staff at any time. Thank you for being so amazing with our boy!

I was sceptical about the premises initially, it’s not very spacious but the staff are excellent and do really wonderful, creative activities with the children. I have been very impressed and my children have loved it there.

Review from Leanna B (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Since starting nursery in January my daughter has settled in so well. The staff are all kind and considerate and willing to adapt to meet our routine and help my daughter settle in.

It has been wonderful seeing her develop and learn new skills at nursery. She clearly has a fantastic time and loves it when we arrive. I know she is in safe hands and well looked after whilst I am at work. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and they take time to tell me about my daughter's day.

Reply from Clair Coope, at Bluebell Wood Children's Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. All the staff work really hard and it is so nice for them to receive feedback. We are so pleased your daughter has settled in so well.

Review from Emma D (Mother of Child) published on 22 August 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have loved our time at Bluebells. Our little boy bounces into nursery every day and we have found their care of our child and support of us as a family to be invaluable. Both my partner and I work full time and our son is at nursery from 8 am until almost 6 pm five days a week - it's not an easy decision to choose but it is one that we have to do and having Bluebells as our childcare provider has made it a much easier decision. Our little boy is bright, curious and enjoys a challenge and Bluebells have given him the time, stimulation and energy that he needs - he adores the members of staff and they have helped nurture him into a well behaved, polite and caring little boy ready for his 'big school'. We will miss having Bluebells in our family but thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the care, consideration and daily delight they have brought our child (and therefore us).

Overall Experience

Great experience from the first enquiry through to their first months of care. Very caring and nurturing staff who have our son's happiness and development as their priority. Our son has been attending since February and has learnt and progressed so much in this short time. The settling in sessions were well organised and put us at ease. Its great to see our son so excited to be going to nursery in the mornings and then happy and relaxed when we collect him.

Overall Experience

My grandchildren attend Bluebell Wood Nursery and the ethos of the nursery is among many things one of welcome and nurture. The activities on offer are varied, current and relevant for the children who attend. The staff take the time to speak daily about how each of the children have been. As a family, we feel we have been very well supported by the Bluebell Wood Nursery Team. Many thanks to you all

My daughter really loves the nursery, going from not wanting to leave me to taking her shoes off or going with one of the practitioners straight into the bunnies, happy and smiling, ready for breakfast.

Review from Martin H (Father of Child) published on 10 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are really pleased with the nursery, our son is now nearly 15 months old and his development is great, it is clear to see that a lot of this is down to the activities he does and guidance he receives from the staff. Our older daughter had attended another nursery which has since closed, which was brilliant for her development, so we had reservations before we started about anywhere else being as good, but they were quickly banished. All of the staff are great at passing on relevant updates to parents, and I can see that they really care about the children. We like the opportunity to see photos and even better the comments on the things he has been up to, as a working parent that is really important. We would highly recommend this nursery and indeed have.

Review from Debbie T (Mother of Child) published on 10 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has been coming to the nursery for over a year now. We have been very pleased with the nursery. They are all very professional and friendly. We really enjoy the weekly updates of EYLOG and seeing the pictures and videos of him interacting with nursery staff and joining in with activities. I especially like having the daily sheet that he comes home with RE: Nap times, BO, what food he has eaten and how much. I feel that with the amount of children that the nursery staff have they still manage to do a brilliant job and keep all the children safe and happy.

Overall Experience

My daughter started attending Bluebell Wood last year when the nursery she was at closed down. She settled in very quickly, making new friends and really enjoying her time there. They have done a brilliant job getting her ready to start school in Sept and I'm so pleased that some of her friends from Bluebell Wood will be going along with her so she can maintain that connection.

Overall Experience
The staff at Bluebell Wood Children's Nursery are fantastic and I know my son is in good hands.
He gets a range of foods to try, plays with their toys as well as has structured parts to his day where they enjoy messy play or be creative with different media.

He loves singing along to songs with the girls and he really enjoys going there, which is something every parent wants!

Review from Sarah-Jayne B (Mother of Child) published on 7 July 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Bluebell Wood Children's Nursery enough, I was very nervous at first leaving my daughter whilst returning to work. The video and photo updates are so exciting! I also now have my son attending. They both are thriving from being social with other children, activities and craft /music sessions. I especially like the one to one time they have with their own key worker. This makes my partner and I feel more at ease as they are getting to know our children on a more personal level. All events/programs and parents evening well informed too. Highly recommended

Review from Karen B-M (Grandmother of Child) published on 12 April 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have seen my granddaughter develop into a well-balanced toddler. Her understanding of numbers, colours, days of the week and months are unbelievable at such a young age. She enjoys her two days with the nursery a lot and often talks about it to me and her Grandad. Well done with all the set discipline you install and food you provide, especially in such a confined space. My hat goes off to all of you that work there.

Everything is just perfect for my little girl. She has been attending the nursery for almost two years now, full time. She has grown into a clever and independent little girl from a cute baby. The management and staff are just amazing.

My 2 yr old has been attending for just under a year and I have no bad word to say about Bluebell Wood. The staff are fantastic, the security is impeccable and my son is so happy there, always has been. I asked him what he would like to say about the nursery and he said "my best friends"- quite an admirable review from a 2yr old!
