Review from Jennifer M (Mother of Child) published on 9 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My oldest boy has been attending this nursery for just over 2 years. As I work, he's there all day and every time I pick him up he is happy and smiling. They give me feedback on his behaviour, how he's eaten and what he eats and the activities he's done during the day every time I pick him up. They
also keep a record of his development and show me his progression. They also picked up on his speech delay and immediately booked him for speech and language sessions and as the waiting time was quite long they focused with him at nursery where he made so much progression that by the time his sessions started he had improved so much we only went to 6 sessions and didn't need to attend any more. This year my second child will also be attending as I am more than happy with the care and education they provide. They are all very friendly and welcoming.

Review from F P (Mother of Child) published on 8 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves to attend nursery and asks every day if it's nursery day. He is very clean when picked up. He loves meal times as food is freshly prepared and varied. He is encouraged to engage which has enhanced his development skills greatly.
I feel extremely comfortable leaving my son to go to work
knowing he will be very well taken care of.
The staff are very respectful and nurturing and communication is very good.
With a 07:30 start time (if requested) and a 6:45 pm finish time, it fits in with my working hours which is also a bonus.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son loves this nursery. The staff are extremely nice and polite, they really look after him, to the point he doesn’t even want to go home when it’s home time. Also, they have been so understanding and helpful with timings to help me as I have had another baby. I would highly recommend this nursery,
the manager has been so nice and understanding to deal with as she understands my difficulties and has helped me resolve them by looking after my son by modifying the times suited best to me. I can’t express how much this nursery has helped me and my son, developing his language and speech to his behaviour too. They absolutely love my son, all staff are extremely friendly and easy to talk to. I would like to thank everyone at Bluebells Nursery in helping me raise my child. I can’t wait for my baby to grow up and start here too. Thank you to everyone at Bluebells Nursey, you are great and are doing a great job with all the kids, especially mine! Thank you.

I am extremely happy and comfortable to send my two children to this nursery, my older child asks to go to nursery even when she’s not there.
The staff at this nursery cater to all the individual needs of my two children and understand my own expectations of them and fulfil this and more. I know
they teach the children well at this nursery as my oldest child will inform me. My children’s confidence and independence have grown tremendously due to the encouragement of the staff here.
The manager is always very helpful and on hand to support with advice. I would highly recommend this nursery.

My daughter has settled in really well here, they had a thorough settling in process and the staff have been very friendly and given lots of feedback on how my daughter's day has been, what she has done, what she has eaten and how long she slept for which has put my mind at ease. I know she is in safe
hands here and would highly recommend this nursery!

Very good nursery. My son loves attending and bangs on the front door. He is very clean when I pick him up and never wants to leave the nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for Bluebells Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.779 for Bluebells Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.779
  2. 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 Bluebells Day Nursery 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:

    1. 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
    2. 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 60 number of registered child places is 12, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
