My daughter settled in very quickly and is now thriving. This is thanks to all of the nursery staff providing the best care for her.
My daughter has progressed immensely since joining.
The staff are all extremely lovely and all know each child's name, even if they have never been their carer.
They communicate very well as well as having a communication book and online photo service. They are giving milestones to kids to hit - all within reasonable "difficulty" for their individual development level.
Since my daughter has joined Bluebell Hill she has had a great time. Everyone has been extremely kind and taken great care of my daughter.
Would highly recommend!
Bluebell Hill Children's Nursery is very caring and a friendly setting. My children are very happy and enjoy going to nursery. You are made to feel very welcome. My daughter has become more confident and is developing well ready for school.
I have lovely feedback each time I collect my daughter and this is reflected in the artwork and the way my daughter runs into the building each morning.
Even after such a short period of time I know that my daughter will grow and develop well under the care of all staff
Staff are always polite and respond to my son's needs i.e. when unwell. He settled so quickly and enjoys watching others play - the variety of activities offered is also great stimulation. Changing and feed time can still be a bit hit and miss at home so it's interesting to compare his nursery experience. The range of activities and songs he learns are evident at home so even at 16 months, I can see how the nursery experience benefits him.
My child is always happy to come to the nursery. She is confident to explore and always talking. The pictures she brings home she is excited to share with me and she is now drawing recognisable pictures and naming them.
Great communication
Happy children
Happy parent
Very happy with the progress of our son and daughter. They both have really enjoyed their time here. Our little boy especially loves drumming!
My Grandson has been attending Bluebell Hill for nearly a year now. In that time he has grown in confidence and has become a very sociable little boy. He is very inquisitive and is highly stimulated by those involved in his learning journey. Most importantly, he feels comfortable and secure and has an excellent relationship with his carers and has also formed some great friendships with other children in his group. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the professional approach of all the Management and staff who have helped my Grandson over an extremely difficult period in his life. Showing compassion, understanding and above all a real sense of "family" support. Bluebell Hill you are amazing!
This has been the best setting I could have wished for my children. They are happy, settled and love their time here. I will be sad when it is time for them to move on. The staff are brilliant and really make effort to know the children. I feel happy knowing my children are happy and safe.
Excellent nursery. Very happy with the level of care and facilities!
My child is always happy and enjoys going to the nursery. He always has lots to say about his day and the time he has had with his friends.
Our daughter has been at Bluebell Hill over a year now. From the day we looked around to present day we have always got a good feeling and can tell all the passion the staff have towards children. Our daughter always looks forward to going and is always talking about what she has done and friends she has made. All staff are always friendly and make time to say hello. I would recommend Bluebell Hill to any parent and any future children we may have will come here.
I could not recommend this nursery enough. Both my sons have grown up here. It's truly a lovely family feel nursery where the children are loved, cared for and have a wonderful time. The staff are brilliant. The kids are happy and look forward to coming in. The children are well behaved, encouraged to look after each other and good friendships are formed. A truly brilliant nursery!!
Thank you for that wonderful feedback.
My daughter started in the nursery nearly two months ago. I am very happy with our choice! My daughter settled now, she is happy here and if she is happy I am happy. The staff are always helpful and friendly. They are amazing with the babies. The nursery is nice and clean with a beautiful and huge garden.
The nursery staff worked really hard to help my daughter settle in as she was only 7 and a half months old when she started. Initially, she cried all of the time and wouldn't eat much or drink milk. After a lot of trying different methods, my daughter is now settled and really loves it and eats and drinks well.
My daughter was very clingy before she joined the nursery. She is now very social and loves it at nursery. The staff are great with her and I would highly recommend the 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.
