Bluebell Barn Children's Nursery

I would highly recommend Bluebell Barn.

Thank you all.

Most importantly they let them be children.

Other than this Bluebells is excellent.

I feel my children have always been very well cared for here.

He can competently write his name and lots of different letters and numbers all of which he has learnt here.

Very good care for both my boys, they really enjoy the activities especially outside.

My daughter likes the nursery and the younger teachers that are there. She enjoys the smaller groups as she is quite shy. The staff are patient with her and allowed me to go in with her to settle her down.

Perhaps a better structured, portfolio of the children's activities would be nice. But overall, a good nursery.

My child has developed extremely well over the last few months she is becoming more confident and is always positive about going to nursery each day. Only recommendation is for the monthly invoice to be checked thoroughly in order to avoid inaccuracies each month, we are always correcting the invoice.

Thank you.

My only concern would be that my child doesn't receive many notifications on eyLog. So I don't get to see her progress.

Both he and I will miss everyone when he moves on to school.

Bluebell Barn is welcoming, friendly and inviting. The staff are knowledgeable, confident and very capable.

My daughter has settled into nursery well, made lovely friends and enjoys her time here.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Our children have always been very happy here.

The care given when my daughter was unwell, the contact and communication was outstanding.

Thank you!

My son is 3 and has been attending Bluebell since he was 9 months old. I can't praise them highly enough. His carers go above and beyond to make sure he is happy and is reaching milestones, he has made strong bonds with both staff and classmates. The staff have been proactive in putting plans in place to ensure he continues to thrive; we discuss and agree targets be these behavioural, or developmental at regular parents evenings. He can be fussy with food but eats well at nursery which speaks volumes for the quality of their meals. He loves the extensive outside space and I am thrilled that he has so much time outside to explore and to be a child. The time spent preparing him for school is very nicely done, he is learning to sit quietly for circle time and to serve his own breakfast etc. They help him learn at his own pace without rushing or dictating. Nursery should be a fun place of discovery, which is exactly what Bluebell Barn achieves. I can't imagine a better place to send him.

Food and refreshments are of a high standard and so it hygiene. Unfortunately, due to poor facilities preschool learning is below standard and not enough time is given to prepare to children for school. General learning skills are not focused on enough. I have to spend time at home to ensure basic writing letters and number recognition is where it should be.
