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.

My son has been at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery for a year now and the staff are brilliant with him. He has speech delay but they find ways of communicating with him, he is always happy to go in and his confidence has grown so much since being there!
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.

My son is currently in Blueberries at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery, joining the nursery in April 2024 at only 7.5 months.
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.

Reply from Carmen Weller, Project Coordinator at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery

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 work so hard to make a difference. As for the internet issues, this is something we are aware of and unfortunately, it is due to the location of the nursery but we are hoping it'll be better with the houses there and another connection going. I will pass this review on to the staff team, thank you again for taking the time to write a review.

Our daughter has attended Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery since she was 8 months old. She settled really quickly which was a huge relief for us. She is almost 2 now and she has loved every single day at nursery! She is very close to her key worker who has been amazing with her!
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!

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.

Reply from Carmen Weller, Project Coordinator at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery

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.

Would just like to say a Hugh thank you to blue Bell barn nursery over the last few weeks. Our daughter has been struggling with going to nursery going from running in with out a care in the world to being really upset before we even get there. We believe this is due to a big change coming to our family
in the next few weeks of a new baby! All the staff at the nursery have been nothing but supportive of us and our daughter helping us through this tough time l, giving us ideas to help her and reassuring us that she is okay during the day through pictures, messages and phone calls. Nothing has been too much and our daughter is now slowly coming out the other side. They have listen to what she wants and helped her through the day playing with her 1-1 or leaving her to play when she wants to be by herself. I can't thank the staff and managers enough for their support and help in what has been difficult for us as parents to get through

receive from the staff on all matters is great, so nice to see pictures uploaded pretty much every session and the detail behind them too. So glad he is a part of Bluebell.

My son started at Bluebell Barn in June when he was just 9 months old and we have been over the moon with the care and support they have given to us as a family. We were naturally a little anxious about our son starting nursery at such a young age, but everyone at Bluebell Barn went above and beyond
to ensure our minds were at ease. The communication from the ladies working in my son’s room and from the nursery managers has always been faultless and nothing is ever too much trouble! We love the use of the app that informs us of our son’s eating, toileting and sleep and the regular snapshots of his learning and progression make us feel we are still a part of his day!
Bluebell Barn is a very special place with a very caring and supportive team! We feel very lucky to be a part of it!

Bluebell Barn staff have been fantastic at helping my little girl transition into nursery. She was born amidst the lockdown and therefore was extremely anxious about any new situations due to the lack of emotional and social opportunities in her early months of life - the staff at Bluebell Barn have
been just amazing, everything has been at my little girl's comfortable pace and she absolutely loves attending the setting. The staff keep me up to date throughout the day on the app so I can see what my daughter has eaten and what she is up to if there’s an accident then there’s a form that is sent so I am aware of any incidents almost immediately. The staff go over and beyond to ensure the safety and happiness of the children.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.926)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.926) out of 10 for Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.926 for Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.926

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 number of registered child places is 16, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I am so pleased to have made wonderful relationships with the staff and the lovely parents and families.

My favourite part of working with children is helping the new children and their families settle into the setting, watching them reach their next steps, and providing a safe, fun, and happy place to grow!

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, doing yoga and reading.
