Thank you Yasmin for your lovely review. I will pass this on to the management and staff team.
My son absolutely loves going to nursery. All the staff are very kind and helpful. The food variety of meals and snacks is fantastic. I love the app they use that I can check when I'm at work. There are some occasions when this isn't always up to date. I would love to see some more regular pictures as well, although I appreciate there perhaps isn't always time to do this, it makes me so happy when I can see pictures of what my boy has been up to that day.
Thank you Emma for taking the time to feedback on your son's nursery experience. We are really pleased that you are happy with the food and snacks the nursery provides. I will speak with the staff team about receiving more photos of your son's day at nursery. I will ensure to pass this review on to the management and staff team.
My daughter was born at the beginning of lockdown 2020, she was very shy and quiet and very nervous when she started nursery but within a month she has completely gained confidence, she’s chatting all the time. We see how much she’s developed and how she’s bonded by being around other children a similar age. The workers at the nursery are all so lovely and they all seem very excited and happy to see the staff when she goes to start the day. We never got the opportunity to visit Bluebell Hill before applying for nursery but word of mouth really encouraged us to choose this nursery and I’m glad we did.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Josie. We are so pleased to hear how much confidence your daughter has gained since starting Bluebell Hill. It is so lovely to read the wonderful feedback about our staff team as they all work extremely hard to ensure all the children have the best nursery experience. I will ensure to pass on your review with the team at Bluebell Hill.
My little girl started nursery this month which I was really apprehensive about due to her being such a clingy/sensitive child. Staff have been absolutely wonderful from the start and even though my daughter is still not fully settled in, I know soon she will eventually love it and knowing she is in great hands means I can actually relax at work! Always receive a thorough update at the end and also the app is really handy. Would love to receive more photos in the future if possible however completely appreciate you have your hands full. Wonderful nursery, thank you.
Such a lovely atmosphere with kind and helpful staff! They have made us feel so welcome into nursery life and helped my daughter settle in well! Great nutritional food on offer and staff have been really supportive of potty training bringing in home routines.
I was very apprehensive about sending my daughter back to nursery after the first lockdown because my daughter took quite a while to settle into nursery just before lockdown! I had very clingy to mummy child. I was pleasantly surprised at how well she just got back into the routine! My daughter loves coming to nursery and especially loves all the girls that work there, who have helped my daughter settle in so well, including the ones that are not even in her room, they all know her by her name as she is a bit of a character haha! The activities are endless, they have a lovely garden which they use all year round and the kids love it. All the staff are friendly and really helpful. I love the app that means you can check in on your child’s daily activities, food intake, nappy changes etc and on top of that, you can call any time to just see how they are getting on, which for me (first time over worrying mum ha) is brilliant! My daughter is loving her nursery journey because of the guys at Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery!
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We understand how difficult it has been with Lockdown and changes that have needed to be made at our nurseries. It makes us so happy to read how well your daughter has settled back into nursery and how well she is doing. I will ensure to pass on your fantastic review to the staff team.
I was apprehensive about the return after the first lockdown, but everyone was so reassuring and listened to my concerns, nothing is too much trouble. My daughter happily walks in and really enjoys her days!
They do so many activities with the children and I love receiving the updates throughout the day via the app.
Thank you for your wonderful review. It is so lovely to read wonderful comments about our staff members as we think they all do such an amazing job! I will ensure to pass on your review with the team at Bluebell Hill.
My son has only been here 2 months but loves it here. His key worker noted all his likes/dislikes to songs and things he enjoys doing when home to help him settle in. They do such a variety of activities with the children and help them gain new skills and form friendships with the other children. It’s a lovely nursery and it’s a bonus that they provide all nappies, food, suncream throughout the sessions as it one less thing to worry about.
Thank you for your wonderful review. I am so pleased your son has settled into the nursery, I will ensure to pass your review on to the nursery staff team.
Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery is such a fantastic nursery. My daughter absolutely loves seeing all the staff and is really happy when I drop off and collect her. I find all the staff and management very approachable and feel they always go the extra mile in everything they do, which I feel is very reassuring as a parent. My daughter always joins in with fun activities and loves being outdoors in the gardens. Overall I would recommend Bluebell Hill Nursery to everyone.
My daughter has been attending Bluebell Hill since she was nine months old and has experienced all of the age grouped rooms. She is always excited to go in which is, I think, how you judge a great nursery. She has always been well looked after by the brilliant staff who are always happy and friendly to approach.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am so happy your daughter loves coming to nursery. I will ensure to pass on your comment to the nursery staff team.
My son only attended the setting for a very short period of time, only a few weeks due to the coronavirus and lockdown, but enjoyed his time when he was there. Lots of room to explore and thoroughly enjoyed the variety of food and outside space/equipment.
Thank you for your review. I will ensure to pass this on to the nursery staff team.
My little boy loves coming to nursery on a Friday, even though he only does a half a day every week, the staff and his lovely key worker are always so excited to see him and vice versa. He loves it and is reluctant to leave when it’s home time as he has so much fun.
Thank you for your review. I am really pleased your little boy is happy coming into nursery. I will ensure to pass on your review onto the nursery staff team.
My Daughter has been coming to Bluebell Hill since she was 18-months-old, and will be leaving when she is 4-years-old. My daughter loves all the fun activities and always has lots of fun joining in. She loves being outdoors, and this nursery has lots of outdoor space for the children to play. I have been really pleased with the nursery; the staff are really happy and friendly, and my daughter always comes home happy and looks forward to returning.
My daughter has been attending Bluebell since she was 5 months and will leave when she is 4 years old. I have been so pleased with the nursery, the staff are great and my daughter always comes home with a smile and looks forward to returning. She will be very sad to leave when she starts school. I would highly recommend Bluebell Hill and will be using it in the future with my next child.
Thank you for this wonderful review. We are really pleased that your little girl is very happy at nursery. I will ensure to pass on your lovely comment with the nursery team.
My child started in February and, although only attends one and a half days, he loves it. He settled quickly and the staff are always helpful, supportive and knowledgeable. Thank you for supporting my son in his development.
Thank you for your lovely review, I'm glad that your son has settled well and loves coming to nursery.

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.
