Blackberries Childcare Group – March (Blackberry House Day Nursery) is an Ofsted-rated Outstanding early years setting located in the heart of March, Cambridgeshire. Established in 2005, the nursery provides high-quality childcare and education for children aged 0–5 in a secure, welcoming, and accessible environment for local families.

The setting offers dedicated baby, toddler, and pre-school units, each carefully designed to meet the developmental needs of every age group. From calm and nurturing baby rooms with individualised care routines to vibrant toddler and pre-school environments, children benefit from a play-based curriculum aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting their learning, confidence, and independence.

A key feature of the March nursery is its strong focus on creating a “home from home” environment, where children feel safe, valued, and able to express themselves. This nurturing approach is complemented by engaging indoor and outdoor learning spaces, including an onsite Forest School that encourages exploration, creativity, and a connection with nature.

The nursery also delivers a structured school readiness programme, designed by early years professionals to support children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development as they prepare for their transition to primary school.

Strong partnerships with parents are central to the setting, supported through a nursery app that provides real-time updates and ongoing communication, ensuring families remain closely involved in their child’s development and daily experiences.

With a highly qualified team, outstanding Ofsted recognition, and a commitment to nurturing every child’s individual potential, the March nursery provides a safe, enriching, and inspiring environment where children can thrive.

I feel very comfortable leaving my child in the care of all staff at Blackberry House Day Nursery. Her behaviour has become better, she has improved with her speech and numbers. My daughter enjoys 'school' and is very comfortable here.

Review from Tracy R (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are always so engaged with children. Management is very helpful. Both of my children have been at the nursery since they were babies and love it. They enjoy being outside as much as possible, sticky kids, messy play and my daughter has just started the sports club. The sports club seems excellent.
My daughter's speech has improved amazingly and she comes home singing all the songs she has learnt. The extras the nursery does, such as parties and stay and play, make parents feel connected.

My son always enjoys his day at Blackberry's. He regularly comes home and tells me all the things he has been doing such as sports in the garden, painting and singing. He has made some lovely friends that he looks forward to seeing as well as the staff. The staff are always approachable and happy to
help when I have questions.

Review from Tracy N (Guardian of Child) published on 12 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have nothing but praise for this nursery. I was very unsure as to whether my little one was too young to start due to caring for an elderly nan, but the staff were fantastic in their reassurance and daily updates, which made it so much easier for me. My little one thrives from it, she has grown and
learnt so much from everyday play/learning, the staff are fantastic in their overall approach and my little one is full of smiles before they open the door to sometimes not wanting to leave. I walk away knowing she is happy, fed and very well cared for. The staff are what makes this nursery.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.158)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.158) out of 10 for Blackberry House Day Nursery (March) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.819 for Blackberry House Day Nursery (March) is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.819
  2. 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 4.339 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blackberry House Day Nursery (March) is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 = 3.55
    2. 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 38 number of registered child places is 7.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.789
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
