Review from J G (Father of Child) published on 5 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I'm extremely happy with my son's development at the nursery.
Although each morning is tearful with him proclaiming "I don't like nursery" - each evening I am collecting a very happy, very tired boy who has thoroughly enjoyed himself.

The staff are terrific and he is obviously learning from them, every now and then he surprises us with new knowledge that we had no idea he would know. Great.

Review from N A (Mother of Child) published on 6 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The first taster day everyone was amazing and friendly. It was so hard to leave my baby even though he was just along the corridor. Everyone was so supportive and since then (over a year ago) I get to send a happy child to nursery that he loves and enjoys and collect an even happier little boy and tells me what he has been doing that day.

He has come on leaps and bounds with speech and sharing he has learnt so much ready for school. He amazes me and the people that care and teach him all such amazing people and facilities are amazing.

Reply from Clair Coope, at Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a year now. The staff are always so friendly and happy to children and parents and listen to any concerns, worries and complaints. Any concerns have been listened to with solutions provided. They stay in touch. Communication is good and most importantly, my daughter is happy and progressing well.

Review from N N (Mother of Child) published on 31 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter started before Christmas, so hasn’t been attending that long. However, in the short time she has been going she’s come on so much in her development. I’ve been very impressed with how the nursery is run, all the children seem happy and stimulated.
The layout means the children are not always closed off completely from the other classes, and I feel this adds extra warmth to the setting, giving it a cosy comfortable feeling which is reassuring in this type of care and learning environment.
I’m very happy with all the staff. They are so approachable, friendly and willing to listen. And their communication is excellent.

I love the ParentZone App that updates throughout the day with meals eaten and observations. Makes such a difference when she is attending all day and really brings to life the activities I’m told about when collecting her.

Review from Diane E (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My nearly two year old has been at Bluebell since the beginning of the year and even though he only goes once a week at the moment, he is very comfortable going each week and seems to have settled incredibly well. In fact, since he started his confidence has grown dramatically and he is a much more sociable and confident in himself. The staff are so lovely and friendly and the nursery itself is immaculate, always clean and tidy and the children always look happy and well looked after. I look forward to picking up and hearing about what he has been up to and the staff regularly update the EyLog with pictures.

Overall Experience

I have been very happy with the care provided by the staff of Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery! The setting itself is amazing and stimulating for the children, and the staff are even better! They are incredibly friendly, always ready to listen, and all know my little girl and say hello each morning! She is always happy and excited to go to nursery. My daughter has a food allergy, and the staff are very accommodating and careful with her, we have never had an issue with food. She has developed incredibly well with them, and has learnt so much thanks to their dedication and care.

Overall Experience
Friendly nursery, although staff turn around is happening a lot (due to pregnancy). Our son is happy here and is enjoying his food (more than at home) and making friends. I would like him to make more paintings etc but no concerns.

Feel happy when I leave him.

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.
