My child loves going to Bluebell Lodge! The staff are very caring and I am confident about the wonderful care and education throughout the nursery. The communication is excellent and I love that all the staff know who my child is, even if they aren't working in the same room.
My daughter especially loved the climbing/slide area, where she could explore and burn off some energy with her friends. The arts and crafts stations were fantastic too. She had so much fun painting and getting messy while creating her own little artwork on the sheets.
One of the highlights was making Mother's Day picture frames. It was really special to see the children carefully picking out there own bits to add, knowing they were making something meaningful to take home.
The clay art activity was another favourite - we were shaping and designing our own creationsand pots.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the nursery staff did a wonderful job organising everything. It was such a thoughtful way to celebrate Mother's Day while encouraging creativity and play.
We attended a stay and play event on Saturday 7th March. My daughter had the most amazing time playing with her friends and teachers. The activities were brilliant and it was great to see her learning so much in an outdoor environment! Thank you for a fantastic morning x
My daughter has had multiple outings and she has enjoyed all. We joined bluebell lodge to encourage Dolly to socialise and within her short time in the setting she has come home excitedly to tell mum and brother she has been on a walk to see the rabbits and fishies (pet shop) and she has also attended soft play. Her confidence is growing and have added an extra day in the new year due to how well Dolly is adapting and enjoying
All the staff go above and beyond for Effie and Nova and if I ever need any extra help, I'm always listened to especially Jess. I wouldn't send my girls anywhere else, everyone is so friendly and the girls love it here.
I highly recommend this nursery. My son started at Bluebell lodge a year ago and has recently moved to toddlers. They did so much to make it such a smooth and easy transition! The staff are all amazing and it is so comforting to know he is in such safe hands. My son has gained so much confidence and has learnt so much here!
My little girl started in the baby room in September 2025. I was very apprehensive but the staff are great. Heather, her keyworker and the room leader, is fantastic! I feel happy to leave her there in a morning which makes it much easier for me going into work. The staff get to know each baby well and are very responsive if you message them. Updates and photos are available in an app which is really handy, and the babies are always off on adventures! Nicole, the manager, is always around and knows the different children and is very helpful. They have great outdoor spaces which will be fab as my little girl grows. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
I couldn't recommend this nursery enough my little one started last year and they was amazing from the get go with settling in sessions & also how patient they was with me no matter how much I rang to check on my little one I never felt like a bother . When he transitioned into the next room they took so much care with it and made it so easy that my little boy couldn't even tell the difference & had no issues moving what so ever , all the staff are very welcoming and go above and beyond for every one under their care.
The pre-school itself is wonderful, plenty of resources, toys, plenty of garden space to the kids to explore and play. I am so far very happy and thankful my son got a place here!
Amazing nursery would definitely recommend
It's clear how much time and effort the staff put into creating a nurturing and fun environment, and we're so grateful for everything they do. Our little boy has grown in confidence, independence and happiness since starting at Bluebell Lodge, and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a wonderful setting.
My two youngest daughters have been here from the baby room through to Effie now being in preschool her sister nova has gone from toddlers to lower pre school. I cannot fault this nursey, they honestly go above and beyond and my girls get so excited for Fridays when they go to nursey. Not only are they there for my girls but there for me. Thank you
All the staff are so kind helpful and understanding at all times.
my son has made a lovely little group of friends they have lots of outdoor activities and play inside.The garden is so big my son loves that he can run around play and hide in the little trees surrounding the garden and play on the slide also,he is coming on so well and i am so happy that my son is so happy and content at Bluebell.
Our son started at Bluebell lodge in the baby room in September 2025 and the experience so far has been wonderful. The staff are all incredible and really take care to get to know each child individually, what they need, like and dislike. They have helped our little boy feel so settled there despite him struggling at drop offs and we couldn't be happier. His confidence and skills are growing rapidly and we know that a big part of that is due to his time at nursery.
Our little one has been at Bluebell since she was 8 months old and in the baby room; she's now thriving in the toddler room! The staff are just absolutely wonderful- they are nurturing, warm and my little one loves her morning cuddles on arrival to help her settle into the day. Nothing is too much trouble and it's clear that the staff are really well trained on child development.
The staff at blue bell lodge are absolutely amazing with my daughter she loves going and her development has come on so much in the last 9 months since being at blue bell lodge. If your considering childcare I would definately recommend them
I have two boys at Bluebell lodge one in lower preschool and one in the baby room. The facilities and activities the kids do have always been fantastic, the garden was one of the reasons we chose this nursery! The staff are all amazing, so attentive and caring. They've really made it easier to go back to work with the regular updates on the nursery app and the messages to let me know my little one is okay. I can't recommend them enough!
Since starting nursery my son can now fully use a fork himself, is coming on so well with his fine motor skills and is a very well socialised baby!
My son started in September and at first didn't settle very well. However he is now thriving in the baby room and loves nursery and most importantly the staff that work in the room. He has come on so much!
I am grateful that they will help him to grow into a little boy over the next few years.
The staff and nursery do so much with the kids including trips out, it's great to see. Their rooms are a decent size and food always sounds good! The staff are always happy and helpful.
I don't regret choosing Bluebell again. My daughter also went here (left 3yrs ago) and some of the staff are still there which says a lot to me.
We love their big garden space and what they offer for our children. I would definitely recommend this nursery.
Thank you for your lovely review about our nursery setting. It is great to hear how you would recommend our nursery to others. I will pass on all your feedback to the staff team.
A special mention to her key person who she absolutely adores. The bond they've built is lovely to see, it's clear how much effort everyone puts into making our daughter feel safe, supported, and encouraged. The nursery itself is well-equipped, with fantastic indoor & outdoor spaces that allow the children to explore, learn, and grow in the best possible way.
We're grateful to all the staff at Kids Planet Bluebell Lodge for the love and support they provide. It's reassuring to know our daughter is in such great hands, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality childcare in Blackpool

Meet the Team (1)
My name is Nicole Trafford. I have worked at Bluebell Lodge since May 2014, in that time I have worked my way up from Early Years Practitioner to Room Leader, Third in Charge, and Deputy Manager and I have finally achieved my goal of becoming a Nursery Manager in December 2024.
I have a little girl called Forrest, who also attends Bluebell Lodge Nursery, so I am very grateful to be able to still see her whilst I work Monday to Thursday.
In my spare time, I like to make memories with my daughter, as well as go for long walks in the lake district with my partner, Forrest and our Cavapoo Luna. I also love baking, especially baking cookies and decorating birthday cakes for my friends and family.
