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.

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!

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

My son (3 years old) started at Bluebell Barn in September 2023. From day one, his progression has been noticeable and he's really enjoying his time there. The staff are amazing, the setting is in my opinion one of the best nurseries in East Sussex, I cannot rate it high enough. The communication I 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...

Staff have always been supportive and have given us the confidence that our daughter is in the best care when we are at work, giving us peace of mind.
We sing the praises of Bluebell Barn to all our family and friends and would recommend the nursery to anyone looking - we have one friend who has already booked their son in.
Thank you to the Blueberries team!

My little one has been going here for over a year now and she’s settled in well, the staff are so supportive and welcoming. We are always greeted with a smile and we get lots of updates on the app. We are super happy we found Bluebell Barn for our little one.

Our daughter is starting school in September and I can’t truly express what a wonderful time she has had at Bluebell Barn and how well it has prepared her for school.
She has blossomed since joining the nursery, always coming home excited to show us the arts and crafts made during the day and to tell us all about how they’ve grown plants and what she’s learnt about the world around her. She’s been thoroughly entertained and playfully challenged during her time with her wonderful team of teachers and carers and has made so many friends.
As parents, we have experienced excellent communication with both her teachers and the management team; we feel our daughter's experience at Bluebell Barn has been faultless.
Although we’re excited for our daughter to start her new chapter at school, we will be desperately sad to say goodbye to this team who have looked after us almost as much as our little girl.
Thank you for everything you have done for us, we’ll miss you all so very much.
Thank you for your review, We are so pleased to hear how well your daughter has grown since she started the nursery, and how much she is ready for her next adventure going to a big school. It is always so nice to hear positive comments on our staff and nursery. It has been such a pleasure caring for your child and we wish you all the best. I will be sure to share this review with the staff team.
My daughter has been at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery since she was 1 and is just about to start her next step up to Primary School and we can’t recommend it highly enough. She has always been well cared for and looked after. She’s quite a shy and sensitive child when away from home and all the...
As a working family we also love that there’s nothing to worry about, nappies, sun cream, food is all provided and it’s just one less thing to worry about in the mornings!
Our son will start in September and we’re sure that he will have just as brilliant an experience here too. Thank you all.

Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery has been amazing for our daughter. She found it difficult to settle at first due to only attending once a week. This was hard on us all, but the staff went out of their way to help her and make her feel comfortable, offering her extra settle in time. The regular communication from her keyworker has really reassured me as a nervous parent and the vibe is extremely friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Staff really go out of their way to build positive relationships with parents via the app during the day and a nice debrief of your child’s day on pick up! Our now 16 month old daughter confidently goes into nursery with just a “ta ta” to mummy and daddy. This is due to the time, patience and empathy the staff in Bluebell Barn have all shown her! Thanks guys!
Such a fantastic nursery! All the staff are amazing, so patient, kind and understanding. Both my children love going, always feel happy and safe and always have the best time!

Such a fantastic nursery! All the staff are amazing, so patient, kind and understanding. Both my children love going, always feel happy and safe and always have the best time! My daughter started at 9 months and we both had a bit of separation anxiety as we'd never really been apart but she settled so quickly and the staff were amazing! Now have a 3 1/2-year-old and an 18-month-old who both absolutely love going and always come out happy after having a great day!
Overall I have no concerns regarding my child attending the nursery! my child really enjoys attending the nursery and I am very happy with the staff and the care he receives! Recommend this nursery!

My little boy has been going to Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery for about 6 months now, and absolutely loves it, never had any tears at the door (so far!). The staff have all been so lovely and know him and us well even with him only going one day a week. The facilities are great, especially the garden! Love the fact we had a parent's evening, which helps us to feel very involved!

My son was very much an emotional child when he first started at the nursery, but the staff were very quick to give him a cuddle and make him feel safe and welcomed - they were also always so understanding and welcomed our constant phone calls for our own reassurance!
It’s so lovely having constant updates and photos and reports back via the app - the photos of what he’s been up to throughout his day and his happy little face is great to see.
My son is fed so well when he is at nursery, almost definitely better than he is when at home - the variety and foods they offer the children have improved my son's willingness to try new foods and have encouraged him to eat better at home.
Honestly, Bluebell Barn has been a Godsend - I don’t have to worry about organising anything as they do it all!
Would 100% recommend.
Thank you all so much for all that you do and have done!

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.
