Bluebell Hill is a wonderful nursery. My little boy settled in very quickly at 11 months old. He very happily goes in each morning to the lovely ladies who work there. He gets opportunities for plenty of outdoor play, arts and crafts and indoor playtime. The food is varied and nutritious and he comes home having had three full meals. Parents are updated via the app so you can see what has been eaten, nappy changes, how much sleep has been had and photos. Bluebell Hill goes above and beyond to recognise and celebrate occasions throughout the year: parties for Halloween and Christmas, craft weekends, Red Nose Day celebrations, an Easter bonnet competition etc. There’s always something fun going on. Another great thing is how so much is included in the price. Unlike other nurseries, Bluebell Hill provides food, drink/milk/formula and nappies, meaning the only thing I need to send in is spare clothing. I highly recommend this nursery; we think it’s great!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We appreciate your kind words, and it makes us so happy to read how settled your son is. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are pleased that you are happy with our service and our nursery in...
My 2-year-old boy was delighted at the nursery and really enjoyed being with the staff there. When he was off from the nursery, he would often ask me to take him back to the nursery and keep asking some of the staff.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear how much your son loves the nursery and the staff. I will be sure to share your review with the team.
Bluebell Hill is an outstanding provider of childcare in my opinion. They go above and beyond in their care, communication and consideration towards your child. My son arrived as a nervous toddler. The patience, kindness and understanding he has been shown has led to his development into a confident, cheeky and very chatty little boy! Taking care of a room full of little ones is an exhausting job and each practitioner gives their energy, time and compassion every day. They report bumps or accidents professionally, they give a breakdown of your little one’s day upon collection, which always includes details that demonstrate they really ‘see’ your child as an individual. They do their best to make sure each child is well-fed, rested and stimulated throughout the day. There are always a variety of learning activities available and the outdoor areas are so well utilised. Bluebell Hill really is a lovely space and you feel the positive energy as soon as you arrive.
Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are pleased to hear how happy you are with the nursery and the service that we provide. It is always so nice to hear words like patient, kind and understanding used to describe our staff, and...
Bluebell Hill Nursery are extremely kind and attentive. We have seen our child absolutely flourish in the short time she has been at Bluebell Hill and her previous issues have lessened hugely thanks to the patience and skills of the staff here.
Bluebell Hill is has a lovely environment that is calm and inviting for the children. There is lots of variety in the activities they do, including a beach visit once in a while!
My daughter loves it here and I highly recommend this nursery.

The staff are good, they inform me every time about my son's day at the nursery. I like that they have a lot of fun activities for the children. And my son is very happy going to nursery. He likes his teachers and he has a lovely bond with them.
Thank you for your review, it's our pleasure caring for your child. We are so proud of our staff, who work so hard to make a difference. Thank you again for your kind words, I will be sure to share your review with the nursery team.
The way the staff care for my son is something I can only have ever wished for when putting him in nursery. You can tell that the staff genuinely care about him and this is more than just a job for them.
My son has a dairy allergy, and the nursery has been so accommodating with this, they have very clear and strict guidelines.
I genuinely could not recommend a nursery enough, knowing that he is safe, happy and cared for just the same as he is at home is all we could have asked for.
Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are pleased to hear how well your son has settled and how happy he is. Thank you for your kind words regarding our staff, we are so lucky to have such a dedicated, supportive and overall...
His younger sister is still in seahorses and is excited to run in each morning, shouting out the names of all her friends and the staff. She is treated with such love and does so many wonderful, messy activities.
Highly recommend!
Thank you for your review. It was our pleasure caring for your son and it makes us happy how much the nursery helped your son thrive and gave him the skills and confidence to help him when he started school. It is lovely to read how your daughter gets excited running into the nursery to see the...
I was originally let down by a local nursery and at short notice had to find somewhere else for my son to go. Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery were quick to help and within 24 hours his place was secured and my mind was at ease. My son has always been really happy at Bluebell Hill, right from settling in sessions to now, he always comes home with a smile on his face. The staff are always smiling, patient, welcoming and there to talk about development or any concerns. Almost every day we receive pictures and development updates via the app which is lovely to see whilst at work. They also do all they can to support the families as well as the children. Very happy and highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this lovely 5* review. We are so pleased to have you and your son start at our nursery. It is so lovely to read how well your son has settled into the nursery and how smiley he is when you drop him off and collect him at the end of the day. Thank you for...
My son has been here for 8 months and is thriving! He loves every day that he has here. Great food and supportive staff. Updated daily with pictures/videos daily. Always helpful recommendations to support his development further, wouldn't pick anywhere else!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this lovely review. It means so much to hear how well your son has settled and how much he is thriving at nursery. Thank you for your kind words regarding how supportive our staff are, we could not agree more. It is lovely to read that you’re happy...
Friendly, communicative, fun and professional staff. We were impressed on our first visit and, more than 6 months since our son started with them, we are delighted we chose Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery for his daycare.
Thank you for your review and we are happy to hear how settled your son is. Thank you for your kind words about our staff we are very lucky to have such happy, and professional staff that always make sure all the children have a great nursery experience. I will pass on your review to the management and staff to read.
My little girl has been going to Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery since she was 1 year old and she absolutely loves it. It is such an amazing nursery, all the staff are so friendly, caring and brilliant with her too she is always happy going into nursery. The activities are brilliant with so much choice and they are now doing beach days too. Myself and my husband can't thank the nursery and staff for everything they do for her. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nursery, definitely the best nursery.
Thank you Donna for taking the time to write this review. Thank you for your positive comments regarding the nursery and the service we provide.

I will ensure to pass your review on to the management and staff team.
Amazing place and staff! They have made it so easy for my little boy to settle in after having a bad experience with a previous nursery. All the girls and managers are lovely and always happy to help and listen! Just wish we would found this place sooner! Huge thank you to each of the girls. It's such a relief for a parent to know that their child is well looked after and happy! Your hard work means a lot to us!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review. We are delighted to hear how much you and your little boy love Bluebell Hill Nursery. thank you for your recognition of our excellent staff and management team they all work hard to ensure all the children have a good, fun nursery experience so it is...
My son (3.5 years old) has been attending Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery for around 6 months now and he loved it from the moment he walked in. The staff were so welcoming and he's never been happier. He's learned so much since the day he started and I'm very happy with his progress. I love the fact they send regular updates of his daily life in nursery.
Thank you so much for your feedback, it means so much to us to hear how much your son loves nursery and how settled he is. We are extremely proud of our staff team and they all work so hard to ensure all the children have the best nursery experience. I know the staff and management team will enjoy reading your feedback, thank you again.
My little girl was a lockdown baby and was very anxious of being away from her family. Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery have been amazing and I have seen my daughter grow and grow in confidence. I'm very grateful for all their hard work.
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. We are so happy your daughter has settled well and loves the nursery. I will ensure to pass on your feedback to the staff and management team.
My son absolutely loves this nursery and the staff. He never cries going in but is always so happy to see me when I collect him. He loves their outdoor space as well as the indoor space. He loves the food they provide, and they are really supportive of the formula you give at home by going out of the way to make sure they have it for him at nursery. I would recommend this nursery to anyone! The reason I have chosen four stars is that my son does two full days, but I am lucky to have an observation about what he has been up to every other week. He has had six observations in the 14 weeks of being there. I know a lot of other nurseries do a minimum of one a week, so was a bit disappointed about this.
We're grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. It is lovely to read how much your son loves the nursery, especially the indoor and outdoor space, as well as how happy he is when you drop him off and collect him. Thank you also for your positive comments about...
As I'm sure other parents can agree, sending your children to nursery for the first time is a very daunting and worrying period of parenthood. Personally, I put myself down as a worrier, doubled by sending both my children within two months of each other, I was anxious, to say the least. Within weeks of my girls joining, the worry all faded away. The staff at Bluebell Hill are some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I have grown to form great relationships with staff in the baby room and also the preschool room, not forgetting the office staff. The care and passion the staff members show when caring for our children is every parents' dream. The premises are always tidy and well taken care of. The food is of high quality and the activities you can tell have had heart and soul put in when preparing/organising. I have two very happy girls after their sessions. What more could I ask for?
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing detailed review! It is lovely to hear how reassuring the staff and management have been in supporting you and your children to settle into the nursery and how your relationship with the nursery team has developed! Thank you for your...
My son was 1 year and 9 months when he started at Bluebell Hill in October for just two and half days a week, I was worried as I never had him away from me for more than 2 hours, but he got to love the nursery so quick, and now he is going in with a big smile. The staff are so friendly, helpful and caring, and my boy loves them so much. I get updates throughout the day to see how is he doing, what he is eating, and info about his nappy changes and sleep. He is usually quite shy, but I can definitely see the difference in his personality and even trying to say words, also he has learned quite a few dances. I cannot recommend this nursery enough and I'm so grateful we have chosen Bluebell Hill.
Thank you so much for your lovely kind words. It makes us so happy to hear how well your son has settled into Bluebell Hill, how much he has developed in his confidence, and how much he loves coming to nursery. Thank you for recognising how excellent, friendly and hard-working our staff are, we are...
My daughter has just started at Bluebell Hill after attending another local setting for one year. I had a great feeling when I viewed the nursery initially and the application process and settling-in sessions have been straightforward. All the staff are lovely and my daughter has settled so well so quickly! I love how I can see updates throughout her session about food intake, toileting and sleep etc. I really couldn't fault them and I'm so glad I went with Bluebell Hill to care for my baby. Thank you, ladies.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review and for your kind words about our staff team. We are so pleased you found the settling-in process and settling-in sessions straightforward and it is so lovely to hear how quickly your daughter has settled into the nursery. I will ensure to pass on your review to the management and staff team.
Sounds like a fun place; at least that's what my daughter makes of Bluebell.
Thank you for your kind words. It's lovely to hear how well your daughter has adjusted to nursery and how much fun she has. I know the staff will be happy to read your comments; thank you.
My daughter started Bluebell Hill 3 months ago and her little personality has really come out since being there. She is always so happy to go in the morning and absolutely loves her key worker. The staff at Bluebell Hill are amazing and always helpful if you have any queries. I love the variety of food my daughter gets and it's always really healthy. Highly recommended it!
Thank you so much Harriet for taking some time to leave a wonderful review! It makes us so happy to know your little one has settled in well and is happy to go into the nursery. We are very proud of our staff team as they all work really hard to ensure all the children have lots of fun and amazing learning opportunities every day! I will pass your lovely review onto management and the staff team!

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!
Chloe is our amazing Deputy Manager at Bluebell Hill. Chloe has worked in childcare for 8 years, gaining lots of experience with all ages. Chloe joined the Bluebell team in 2021 and is an asset to our management team.
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.
Harriet is our fantastic Operations Manager. Harriet has over 16 years of experience working in the Early Years. Harriet joined the Bluebell family as the Nursery Manager of Bluebell Wood and now as the Operations Manager, Harriet oversees the running of all three of our fabulous nurseries.
