My daughter has settled so well at the nursery. She is always happy there and has learnt lots of new skills, increasing her independence. Only thing I woukd mention is that no artwork is ever sent home.

Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad to hear your daughter settled so well and is thriving with us :) Thank you for letting us know, I will pass this onto the team so you can get some amazing artwork!
My daughter has attended Bluebell Hill nursery for more than a year now, and is just about to change rooms as she is turning 2. All the staff during this time have been so lovely with her, nurturing her interests and strengths, and have always accommodated any changes in her routine. The girls are...
The children get outside every day, and are always doing fun activities as well as ones that focus on age appropriate learning. The teachers all get to know each child and have learning steps that are individual to the child.
The management are professional yet friendly and approachable, I feel my little girl is safe here!
Thank you so much for a lovely review!! Changing rooms can be a big change to them, new staff, new environment, new routines etc. We're so happy to hear she is so supported by the team around her. We look forward to watch her continue to grow, learn and flourish in her new room :)

He attends for 15 hours a week and thoroughly enjoys his time there. He loves going to beach school, the allotment, yoga and plenty of outdoor play. The nursery has really supported my son with his speech delay and the improvement is incredible. The staff are lovely, approachable and they really do care about the children. I highly recommend this nursery.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are delighted to hear your son has enjoyed so many enriching experiences during his time with us and how our wonderful team has made such a positive impact on his speech. I will pass this onto the girls, they'll be thrilled to hear :)

Personally I feel the nursery needs to improve in documenting what the children have done throughout the day. I feel they should a designated person each day to document what the children, have eaten, drunk, what activities they have gotten up to. Because at present we don't seem to get much information. My son visit nursery twice a week for 10 hrs each and in those hours it would be nice to be able to actually see what he has been up to! I understand it can be busy but it shouldn't be hard to say what they have done on that day as you don't always receive a handover of the day when more than one parent is picking up their child at a time. Also when there's a photographer coming would be nice to be told what day they are coming as well. The girls are all lovely in the hut/beach room but I find we don't always get a full handover and don't always know the new starters names.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so sorry to hear that you feel feedback and communication is limited. Partnerships with parents are really important to us so thank you for raising this, it really helps us to identify areas for improvement.
My daughter starts school in September, so it's with sadness that her time at Bluebell Hill is coming to an end but I will always be grateful for the love and care she has received. Beach school, first aid, yoga, football and more, she's had such a wide range of experiences which I'm sure will help...
The staff take absolutely everything in their stride- extreme weather, mini bus of children and remain caring and upbeat- highly recommend!

The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely care about the children's wellbeing and development. Since attending, my son has grown in confidence, developed new skills, and always looks forward to going to nursery.
The team provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment with a wide range of activities that support learning through play. Communication with parents is excellent, and we are regularly updated on our son's progress and daily activities.
We feel reassured knowing our son is in such capable and caring hands. We would highly recommend Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery to other parents looking for a supportive and engaging childcare setting AMAZING

months old. It was such a hard transition going back to work and leaving our little boy, but Bluebell did a home visit and some settle sessions which were absolutely amazing. Our little boy has loved his (now) two days a week with his nursery class and he loves the varied enrichment and also all of the yummy food he gets. We can relax knowing he's safe and knowing he's having a blast. We get updates while he's at nursery and we get to speak to his nursery teachers at each pick up. It's an all round brilliant nursery and I'd recommend it to anyone.
Starting nursery is a big step for both children and parents and we're so glad we are able to help and support you, your kind words help the team carry on providing...

Both my little ones love it here. They feel safe and trust the staff. They accommodate their dietary needs really well and I love that nappies and formula is provided! It really helps to save time in the mornings.

The staff are fantastic, friendly approachable and always willing to do what they can.
Only on one occasion have I had a complaint, it was addressed immediately and has not happened again.
Outside space could do with updating but it's simply because it's well loved by all children all throughout the year.
I would very much recommend this nursery.

He's learning so much and has gained so much confidence. We're so impressed with how well he is cared for with cuddles, sleep, food, being attentive to teething needs and all other needs and we can see how much he loves all the staff and the environment.

My son has been going to Bluebell Hill Nursery for over 2 years now. He suffers from epilepsy and has had difficulties with his speech and integration post-covid. I cannot state highly enough how well they have looked after every aspect of my son's care, including seizures, whilst he was on their premises. In every single interaction I have had, with every member of staff, they have gone above and beyond in their care of my son. I am not usually somebody who takes time out to write reviews but in this case, I felt compelled to. I wish that I could name-check members of staff for specific praise but they all deserve it. The support of the nursery and its dedicated staff has made a real difference in the life of our son and how he moves forward in the future. A big thank you to everyone at the nursery for all that you do.

This is a well-run nursery with excellent members of staff. Both my sons go here and I wish they could go more often. My eldest has come along well since joining, with his amazing and dedicated key worker demonstrating such care and professionalism when managing his sensitivities. My younger son has not been attending for long, but I can already see he loves it here as well and the outdoor space in particular is perfect for him. The nursery has a focus on outdoor play and external activities which are perfect for my sons. From what I have observed, every member of staff is brilliant.

I have worked with children for the last 6 years and have been at Bluebell Hill for nearly 4 years now. I started as relief staff whilst completing my degree in early years education, and have since enjoyed progressing in my career and constantly building on my knowledge of the early years. I love being able to teach and inspire children every day, and mentoring staff in giving children the best possible experiences whilst at nursery.
I am also the nursery SENDco and am passionate about ensuring inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, working closely with families and children to ensure every child gets the best possible outcomes from their time with us!
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, walking my two dogs and going to the gym!

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve been working in the Early Years for almost twenty years now. From the moment I left school, I knew I wanted to work with children, helping them learn, grow and develop. With a strong passion for learning environments for children, I’ve spent a considerable amount of time studying the Reggio Emilia philosophy, as well as the Montessori philosophy. I’ve worked in a variety of roles in the early years, including educator, SENCO, and additional adult for SEN children, as well as having previous experience as a Deputy Manager. I believe community is at the heart of a nursery school, as it takes a village to raise a child and building strong relationships with children and parents is the way to strengthen that community. When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family and my two children.
