The staff are positive, inclusive, imaginative, and genuinely care about the children they interact with each and every day.
The management is approachable and friendly and runs the nursery very collaboratively with parents to make sure decisions are open and well informed.
The facilities are peaceful and we love the feeling of being amongst the wildlife, despite its urban placement. So much time and money have been put into redecorating recently and into developing new toys and outdoor apparatus to support the children's development.
The food they have is balanced and varied and I would happily eat their menu every day too if I could!
My youngest is now in his last year and skips happily in every day and always leaves with a big smile on his face - I couldn’t ask for any more.

As a mother, it is a somewhat daunting experience finding a nursery to care for your child. We had several local visits booked to scope out the best place for our Daughter. I loved Bluebell Barn so much on our first visit and with my Daughter's first taster session, that I cancelled all other nursery viewings. I had no doubt this is the place and the people I wanted to care for my child. I have been 100% happy ever since she has started. The staff are so friendly and efficient. They update and communicate with us when needed to and consistently update the parent portal so we can see all the activities she gets up to during the day. Would 100% recommend Bluebell Barn to anyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Hayley. We really appreciate you taking the time to review our Nursery. It is so lovely to hear such amazing feedback about our staff team, as they all work extremely hard to ensure all the children have a wonderful nursery experience. I will ensure to pass on your lovely feedback to the management and staff team!

Our daughter now two and a half has attended Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery since she was eleven months old and has literally loved every day of it. I found all the staff so welcoming in the beginning, which really made me feel at ease during what can be such a stressful time. I found them all very approachable, especially her key worker at the time and also another member of staff. I also felt very supported by the management too, especially one of them. Now that my daughter has moved up to Tigers, I can't thank all the staff enough for all their kindness and creativity that they bring to her experience at nursery. Five members of staff to name a few are absolutely brilliant. I am so proud of how far my daughter has come, and it is largely thanks to you all. The activities and equipment available to the kids are absolutely brilliant and are always maintained and updated regularly. So I would definitely recommend this place as a top class nursery.

My daughter has been at Bluebell since she was 8 months old and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The team looking after her are so friendly and welcoming and she is always itching to get in there in the mornings. I've never had any worries about leaving her. She's always taking part in lots of activities and being at nursery has really helped develop a set routine for her. She is always so happy and content when I collect her after a full day and they always take the time to talk you through her day.
Thank you for taking some time to leave us this amazing review. We are so grateful for your kind words and it makes us really happy that your daughter loves nursery and all the wonderful activities the staff do every day. I will ensure to pass on your review to the nursery team.
My little boy has been at the nursery for two years and is always picked up with a big smile on his face. The staff are brilliant and deserve extra recognition for everything they do, especially with the additional challenges this year has brought!

Our son joined the baby room at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery in September at just 11 months old. We could not be happier with how well he has settled in. He only attends two days a week but he absolutely loves it. He squeals with excitement when we arrive at nursery with him and he comes out at...
Starting during the pandemic has meant we’ve not got to see him in action as much as we’d like but it’s nice to have received a few photos and a video and the staff are always lovely when we hand him over or collect him. It is clear that they know his personality so well already and we feel that he is in safe hands.
We are so so pleased that we picked Bluebell Barn for him, it was the perfect choice.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. We are so happy your son gets excited when attending nursery and has lots of fun. It means so much to the staff at Bluebell Barn to receive such lovely comments.
My son attends Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery. He absolutely loves going. The staff are all amazing and were fantastic from the very start. All the staff are always polite, friendly and helpful and I couldn’t wish for my son to be at a better nursery. Thank you.

My daughter has attended Bluebell Barn Nursery for the last 18 months and over that time the staff have only ever been professional, approachable and warm. All of the staff have been amazing and that shows in the utter excitement she has when she knows she is going to nursery, we can't even have breakfast at home, she just wants to get there. There is such a variety of activities and play opportunities for her indoors and outdoors. My daughter is allergic to soya and dairy and the nursery have been fantastic in providing all of her food and milk and I have never had to worry about what she is eating. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking for a safe, fun, happy environment for their child to thrive in.

My son has been at Bluebell Barn since he was 8 months old he is now 2. I work full time. It is a great reassurance to me that my little boy is not only happy to see the wonderful girls in Tigers every morning but that he is excited for all the fun activities they have planned for him. They cater and care for his individual needs and always keep me fully updated on every aspect of his care. Every evening he runs out to meet me with a big smile on his face. I am a key worker and I particularly praise them for going far beyond what was asked from them during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.

My youngest is currently at Bluebell Barn and joined just before his first birthday and he’s now 15 months old. He loves it there. He gets so happy waiting to go in in the morning. When I pick him up, he’s always had a great time playing with his friends and doing various activities. They are brave enough to play with messy time activities that I’m not brave enough to do at home. My eldest went there from 8 months to 4 years and again loved it. The staff are amazing with the children and make the parents feel welcome and involved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bluebell nurseries and I have done on numerous occasions to friends. Thank you to the Bluebell Barn team.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so pleased your son enjoys coming to nursery. I will ensure to pass your review on to the nursery staff team.
Excellent nursery. Our son absolutely loves going to the barn and we will not hesitate to send our daughter, once she is ready. Always lots of activities going on and the outdoor space is lovely. A big thank you to all the staff.

My eldest attended from the age of 11months to 4.5 years and my youngest (2.5) is currently in the toddler room.
The staff are fantastic and it’s lovely that we knew so many of them the second time around. My children adore them which is all we care about.
I’d recommend this nursery to anyone. The setting is brilliant and we feel lucky to have been able to have both children attend.

The managers are always visible and responsive to a parents need or queries.
I feel they have been exceptional throughout COVID-19 and handled the situation with kindness, understanding and above all, care for the safety and well being of their staff and the children who had to attend during this period. Remaining open and following strict standards enabled me to continue to work as a nurse throughout this period with a little less worry about my child knowing he was happy, contented and safe.
A big thanks to all!

Fantastic nursery. All the staff are friendly, warm and welcoming. Response to queries is quick. There are always structured activities going on as well as a child-led play. Kids play outside every day, and also the food provided is great, which gives peace of mind. All around, a great nursery.

We have been very happy with Bluebell Barn. Both of our children have attended, and our youngest still has one more year to go. We have found that it has helped both of our children’s confidence massively and the transition from nursery to school really helped our oldest. I would happily recommend Bluebell Barn to any parent, as the staff are all lovely, and I never worry about leaving my child in their care.
Thank you for this wonderful review. It means so much to all of us to receive these lovely comments.
We have been part of this nursery for over a year now and absolutely love it. The staff are very friendly and caring. We have been kept well informed regarding the current situation and have been impressed by the changes they have put in place.

Bluebell Barn is an incredible nursery. They are so brilliant with my 2-year-old who is very unsettled about leaving me on drop off. He is soon happy and playing. He comes home talking about 2 members of staff who he absolutely adores. He even talks about them during the week (he only goes once a week at the moment). They are extremely observant and are very alert to my child’s needs. I am so pleased I chose Bluebell Barn as my child’s nursery.
Thank you for this wonderful review. We are really pleased that your little boy is very happy at nursery. It means so much to all of us to receive these lovely comments.

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.
