Review from Jason N (Father of Child) published on 7 March 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Kids Planet Bluebell Lodge has been absolutely fantastic for our daughter! Since starting, we've seen such a huge transformation in her confidence-she's thriving, and it's amazing to watch her personality shine through more and more each day. The team provides such a warm, nurturing environment, and the care and dedication they show to every child is incredible.
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

Overall Experience
Bluebell St Anne's Road Nursery has been a truly wonderful place for our daughter. She started here when she was just a year old and we couldn't be happier with the care, love and support she has received over the years. The staff are incredibly warm, nurturing and dedicated, creating an environment where children thrive both emotionally and developmentally.

It's been amazing to watch her grow in confidence, build friendships and develop a love for learning. The thoughtful activities, creative play and structured learning experiences have been fantastic for her growth. Communication with parents is always clear and supportive, making us feel involved every step of the way. We are so grateful for everything Bluebell St Anne's Road Nursery has done for our family - thank you for making these formative years so joyful!

Review from Abbie R (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would recommend Bluebell Lodge to any of my friends and family who have children. I had my first little boy in nursery from 1 year old and he loved it so much. All the staff are amazing with the children. If he was having a day where he got upset going in the staff would adapt to ease him in, in his own time.
My second child has been attending since he was 6 months old. We're so proud of our boys and how well they've adapted to the nursery and moving up throughout their stages. No day is the same which is amazing, I find it hard to occupy the boys every day with something new and develop new skills so I find the nursery so beneficial.

Having updates when they're there puts my mind at ease knowing what they've eaten and how much, nappies, activities and much more. My little boy loves going on his walks and to the park. They've now started taking the children to a play area which is brilliant. I would recommend the nursery over and over.

Review from N T (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter was very unsettled when she first started at Bluebell Lodge in December, she's a BF baby and therefore very attached to me. We started our settling-in sessions and it was very clear that she was going to need a few extra ones before her start date. The team in the baby room, worked incredibly hard to get her to settle, they did all her favourite things such as singing and silly dancing to make her smile. After a few sessions and lots of cuddles, she now absolutely loves it and will happily reach out to the ladies to have a cuddle when I need to leave her for work. We absolutely love seeing all of the things she does throughout the day on the app, especially the messy activities and this is where my daughter is in her element. Thank you so much, Bluebell Lodge, we love you!

Reply from Lisa Taylor, at Kids Planet Bluebell Lodge

Thank you for your lovely review. I love that the team knows what your daughter enjoys and that she is in her element during messy play and so the team provide this. I will pass on all your feedback to the staff team.

Review from E B (Mother of Child) published on 24 February 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our little boy started here in September and absolutely loves going each week. He only attends once a week but settled in so easily from the start and has built such strong relationships with his key workers and all the staff. He is always excited to go in the mornings and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day, even when he is the last little one left! It is clear that the staff really care about the children and are focused on supporting the children to grow and learn in a caring environment. We also really enjoy that they take the time to arrange events for special occasions like Christmas and Halloween and get families involved. We are very happy with our nursery choice and would recommend it to everyone.

Review from Amanda H (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has been attending Bluebell Lodge Nursery since she was a baby and she has progressed in so many ways and a lot of that is down to how the nursery let her express herself, let her communicate with how she feels, accommodates what she needs to help build her confidence and keeps us updated on her day every day to give us reassurance that she is happy.

The staff in each room from babies through to preschool have built such a lovely relationship with our little girl, I would happily recommend the nursery to anyone as they really make a difference to a child’s upbringing.

Just the loveliest, friendliest nursery. So lucky to have gotten a place and have my baby there in the baby room. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and every pick up and drop off was so tailored and thoughtful.

Overall Experience

My daughter attends Bluebell in the baby's room and is now a toddler. Cannot fault the nursery at all. The staff in both settings are lovely and caring and care for each child in their care. The manager was the manager at my eldest daughter’s nursery and was one of the main reasons for selecting Bluebell. She is friendly, and knowledgeable and knows every child within the setting, as well as their parents. Lovely nursery setting.

Overall Experience

My little boy loves nursery days, he recently moved into the toddler room and has built a lovely relationship with all the ladies in there! He used to get upset in the morning going in but now he’s in the room and sat down having his breakfast before Dad has even had a chance to put his coat on his peg. Staff are 10/10, really informative, kind and helpful. The nursery setting is also a lovely environment, lots for the kids to do and learn.

My daughter started nursery here in October 2023, I cannot recommend it enough! Their staff are absolutely outstanding, my little one has learned so much and come so far within such a short time. From crying when first started to now walking in excited to start her day, they also keep you updated and send pictures throughout the day. It’s honestly the most amazing nursery. Thank you to all staff for the amazing care and learning they provide.

My son absolutely loves his nursery, he can’t wait to get back again once he’s left. All the staff are very friendly, caring, helpful and always update you on your child’s day. There’s so much for kids to do, my son’s favourite is the big garden. My child’s confidence has gotten better and his speech since he started nursery just over a year ago, plenty of friends made too. Glad I chose this nursery for my son.

Review from Jinelle S (Mother of Child) published on 22 March 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Everyone at the nursery is amazing and friendly.
Very accommodating nursery in every way.
My 8-year-old went to this nursery and now my 2-year-old attends.
My 2-year-old is very challenging, he has severe eczema and multiple allergies. They apply his cream multiple times a day and ensure he is safe in regards to his allergies. The cook is also amazing in terms of providing him fresh safe meals daily.
I can leave my son and know he will be safe, learn and have lots of fun. The staff look after each child as if they were one of their own.

I recommend this nursery to everyone.

Nicole McEwan Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2014
Nicole McEwan

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 BA Hons in Family Support and Wellbeing as well as a Level 3 in Early Years.

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.
