My girl is always happy to go in. And always comes home so happy.
We recently attended the Christmas craft morning which was all included and my girl had the best time and came away with some lovely things for christmas!
All in all fabulous nursery and I would highly recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this lovely. It is so nice to hear such kind words about our staff, as they work so hard to ensure all the children have a lovely nursery experience. I will be sure to share this review with the staff team, and thank you again.
Bluebell Barn Nursery is amazing. Our child has a visual impairment and the staff go out of their way to support them in nursery to access all areas and be included. The staff are so kind and supportive to us as a family as well as caring for our child. They truly care. Nothing is a silly request or question and they do their best to listen and accommodate. The updates throughout the day and at the end of the day reassure me my child is having a good day especially when I am missing them at work. Very happy with our experience. The nursery is always clean and the activities throughout the day are fun, inventive and support the children's development as well as meeting the child's individual interests.
Bluebell Barn Nursery is amazing. Our daughter loves it there, she has been going for 7 months and from day one has loved it, she settled so quickly and I genuinely think that's because the staff are all so lovely, caring and welcoming. She puts her arms out for the staff and doesn't even look back for mum or dad.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are so pleased your daughter loves the nursery and how settled she is. It is lovely to hear such kind words, such as caring and welcoming, to describe our staff. I know the staff team will be happy to read your kind words, and I will be sure to pass this on to them.
Bluebell Barn Nursery continue to give my daughter the best experiences. She absolutely loves attending and has been going since she was 11 months old - she is now nearly 3. The staff are brilliant and keep me informed with everything I need to know. My daughter enjoys the wide range of activities she does daily, including baby ballet! The soft play area suits her hyperactive needs very well. If I have had any problems, staff have resolved this immediately. Couldn't recommend a better nursery.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much to us to know that your child is thriving in our care and how much she loves coming to nursery. I will be sure to pass your review on to the team and thank you again for taking the time to write this review.
The team took the time to walk us through each classroom, explain how everything worked and most importantly engaged with our daughter, who was nearly 2 at the time. That small gesture meant so much to us.
She has now been through the Blueberries, Raspberries and is currently thriving in Cherries and throughout every stage we've been consistently impressed.
Having a background in childcare myself, I visited many nurseries in the area and out of all the settings we looked at and there were a lot , Bluebell Barn truly stood out from the rest.
The level of care, the thoughtful activities and the genuine attention given to each child have supported our daughter's development beautifully. We couldn't be happier with her progression or with the nurturing environment she's grown up in. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review. We are so pleased with how settled your daughter is and how much you both love the nursery. I know the staff and management will be happy to read your kind words, and I will be sure to pass this review on to them.
Bluebell Barn is a fantastic nursery! All of the staff are so kind, warm and welcoming. When my son first started in the baby room, he found it hard to detach from me. The staff were so loving and patient with him. Now, he skips in to nursery every day with a huge smile on his face! The staff work hard to plan such fun and engaging activities for the children. I couldn't recommend Bluebell Barn enough - they're amazing!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're delighted to hear how well your son has settled in and that he now comes into nursery with such joy and confidence. Our team take great pride in creating a nurturing, welcoming environment for every child. We truly appreciate your kind words and the trust you've placed in us. It's our pleasure to have your son at Bluebell Barn!.
My daughter absolutely loves coming here! They are all so kind and welcoming and nothing is ever to much for them! She has really come out of her shell since being here! It's a really nice feeling being able to 100% trust someone with you child! Thank you girls!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so pleased your daughter loves coming to nursery, it is our pleasure to care for your daughter, and thank you for choosing our nursery. I will be sure to share this with the team.
This is such a wonderful nursery! From the moment I stopped by to find a nursery for my dear granddaughter. I was greeted with a kind and friendly welcome. I am so pleased we decided on Bluebell Barn just over. 2.5 years ago! The kindness, care and dedication of the whole team is outstanding. The nursery manager you are such an amazing leader! A particular staff member and all the outstanding team in cherries are a credit to the nursery! I can't thank you enough for all your kindness and support during what has been a personally challenging year for our family.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review. We appreciate your kind words regarding our staff and management, and we could not agree more that they are amazing. I know the ream will be so thrilled to read this feedback and I will be sure to share this with them. Thank you again.
The atmosphere when you walk in is really lovely and calming, I would definitely recommend the nursery to anyone looking.

Could not recommend this nursery more. They do so much with the kids. My baby is 11 months old and joined when she was 9 months old. They really know her, even called me on her first day there, as I'd said on the form she napped at 12 pm and she'd fallen asleep at 11 am and whether that was alright! Communication is brilliant, all the staff in her class know her and know when she isn't herself. Her socialisation skills have massively increased as has her confidence. She loves going and I love the app which gives detailed updates and photos. Best decision and I know my daughter is safe and being well looked after.

My daughter has attended this nursery since April 2024 and we can honestly say there has not been a single problem. We researched a lot of local nurseries and went to three show-arounds, Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery being one of them. The nursery manager took us for our show around at Bluebell Barn and she was so informative and polite. We were introduced to all the staff and given information packs to take home. We immediately decided on this nursery for our daughter and she started a few weeks later. After starting, the staff at this nursery helped us to create a routine for our daughter, adapting as she grew. She has now been attending for four months and is always happy, she loves going to nursery and the staff that work here are so amazing and caring. They look after the children so well and are able to give a detailed debrief of their day upon pick-up which we absolutely love. Overall, we are so happy with the care and love our daughter receives here and we cannot recommend this nursery enough.
Thank you so much 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 how well your daughter has settled in such a short time. Thank you for your kind words regarding our staff, we could not...
Our daughter has been going to Bluebell Barns Children's Nursery for four months now and absolutely loves it. The staff made everything very easy and look after her really well. The facilities are great, the food is a good mix and the activities are fun for her. We are always kept up to date throughout the day. I would highly recommend it.
He has settled in so well and to this day, has never been upset on drop-off and that is a true testament to the girls in the room giving him such good care. It is such a relief knowing he is clearly happy and enjoys his time with them, on drop-offs they put their arms out and he leans out my arms to go straight to them.
Any issues/concerns I have raised have always been immediately dealt with by management. The manager is amazing at getting straight back to you without leaving you waiting ages for a response, she is very approachable.
My only niggle is the app, there seems to be internet issues at the end of the nursery which means updates don't always come through. I love being able to see how he's doing throughout my working day so would be good if it worked consistently.
Thank you so much for your review. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the nursery and that your son is happy when you drop him off. It is always nice to hear kind words regarding our staff team as they all...
We love getting the updates about her activities, what she eats etc., it's nice to see what she has been up to.
Since attending, our daughter's confidence has grown massively and she comes home singing songs and telling us about her day. Thank you Bluebell Barn!
Thank you for your review, we are glad to hear that your daughter is thriving in our care and has settled in well. Thank you for your positive comments regarding our nursery and staff. We are thrilled that your daughter has gained confidence and generally loves coming to the nursery. I know the staff team will love to read this feedback and thank you again for your lovely review.
Such a lovely nursery. Lots of great activities, enthusiastic and very reassuring staff. Our little boy has thrived since being there for the last year and a half. There's a really nice "vibe" when you walk in and I always get a good feeling. Any concerns we've raised have all been addressed immediately by the managers and staff who couldn't be more helpful. Thanks Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery - keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are pleased to hear that you are happy with the nursery and when you need to speak with the staff team they are happy to help and address any concerns you have had. It is our pleasure caring for your son and hearing how well he is thriving makes us extremely pleased. I will be sure to pass your lovely review on to the management and staff team here.
My child attends Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery and they are absolutely thriving. I was hesitant at first when my child started, as we hadn't been apart before, but I was instantly put at ease when I saw how happy and looked after my child was. My child's days are filled with fun and educational activities and the freedom to explore their personality. They are fed well and always kept clean and looked after. My only criticism is the switch in food menu when it comes to spring/summer - the dinner is more of a snack type of meal instead of a hot meal and my child rarely eats it so we need to provide another separate meal once home. Although this isn't directly related to Bluebell as it's provided by catering. I would just like to see a substantial afternoon/evening meal instead of picky bits. The autumn/winter menu is great! I cannot recommend Bluebell Barn enough and if I have more children, they will also attend there.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and the feedback about the caterer's spring and summer menu, we will ensure to pass this on to them. We are so happy to hear how much you and your child love Bluebell Barn. I know the management staff will be pleased to read your lovely comments and I will be sure to pass this on to them.
Our daughter has attended Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery from the age of 9 months old and has absolutely loved it. All the staff have been really friendly, helpful and informative. I was so nervous about leaving her in the care of others, especially so young, but she's attended for almost a year now and her development has skyrocketed and she is so well looked after. Genuinely couldn't be happier with our experience so far.
Thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is our pleasure caring for your daughter and it makes us happy to hear how well she has settled and how much fun she has at nursery. It is always so nice to hear words like friendly, helpful and informative used to describe our staff. Thank you again for your kind words and I will be sure to share this review with the team.
I'm so pleased with my daughter's response to going to Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery. They do lots of activities and have a musical group attend the nursery which is a great bonus. She is always happy when I drop her off and pick her up. She seems to have settled in really well and enjoys seeing other children there. I would like to see more one-on-one activities, like reading for development, but other than that. I'm very happy and the staff are lovely.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It makes us so happy to know how much your daughter loves the nursery and how pleased you are with the staff and the nursery setting. I will pass your feedback to the staff and management team.
My little boy has been at this nursery for 6 months and every time we arrive in the car park his face lights up! The staff absolutely adore him and he is the same with them. Thank you for everything.
Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Thank you for your positive comments regarding our nursery and staff; we are pleased your child loves the nursery and how happy he is. Thank you again for your kind words, and I will pass this review on to the team here.
Our son is absolutely thriving at Bluebell Barn, he’s made special connections with the nursery room team and gets up to lots of fun activities. He eats really well and has a wonderful selection of meals and snacks. We are so happy with our nursery choice and recommend to everyone!

Hello, my name is Stephanie, and I am the Deputy Manager at Bluebell Barn. I have been working with children since I was 15 years old, volunteering with my local scout group as a young leader. I have always had a passion for developing young minds, gaining my level 6 qualification and Qualified Teacher status in 2023, and I value all the chances I have had to grow my knowledge of Early Years Education.
My favourite part of working at the nursery is watching the children reach their full potential, the milestones they reach in the time they are with us are vital in shaping their future in education and seeing them beat any challenges they may have been facing is immensely rewarding.
