Meadow Kindergarten is quietly located off Blackpool’s Whitegate Drive and provides affordable childcare in a friendly, warm, homely atmosphere.

The nursery is housed in a single storey property and comprises of two buildings, one with the baby unit and Toddlers rooms, and a designated Preschool room. There is also a large outdoor play area/garden, that is separated into two sections to keep the older and younger children safe while being able to play freely.

Meadow Kindergarten understands the importance of a balanced and healthy diet, particularly in the early stages of physical development for a child. The nursery and pre-school offer activities that are created to enable children to gain knowledge and understanding of life topics through fun everyday activities.

Please visit the website where more detailed information is available.

Look forward to you coming and looking round this beautiful setting and meeting the team.

By far the best nursery/pre-school. My daughter has loved it here since she was a baby in the baby room right through to pre-school.
They are really helpful and kind and my daughter has progressed a lot being there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Only had settling-in sessions so far - from the first day crying for nearly the whole session, screaming at home saying no and bye to the nursery. Two days later and she's happy at home to get ready for nursery - still slightly teary going in but is happy when picked up. The staff in her group are amazing,
to help my little girl settle in and gain a happy experience is so nice. All staff are very welcoming when dropping and picking up and I can't wait to see how she flourishes within the year.

My son has attended here from being 16 months old, he went into preschool room in September 2022. The staff in there couldn't be any more helpful if they tried, my son has come on so much since attending here. From the start, you are well informed as to what is happening throughout the day and what
they eat etc. They also plan things for each child for them to progress to their individual needs. They have lovely outdoor spaces for all rooms which I think is great as there age appropriate. There are trips out they take them on which again are age appropriate. It is well-managed and there is always someone on hand for any questions you have. The staff and setting are amazing.

The level of compassion the nursery staff deliver to not only the child but families too is outstanding.
Greeted at drop off and pick up with a warm welcome smile.
Each staff member goes above and beyond. They work with you on your child's development keeping you informed on all aspects of care throughout
the day and future in the nursery.

My daughter moved to this nursery in September 22 and she absolutely loves it. I can't fault the staff at all. They are simply amazing. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining this Nursery. I have recommended the Nursery to quite a few friends who are looking for childcare for their own
children.
My son attended this nursery when he was younger. He's now 6 and he absolutely loved it. Just as much as my daughter does. Some of the same staff are there which is lovely to see.

Our daughter comes out of preschool/ nursery with smiles and that makes me happy. She learns a lot throughout the day and can't wait to tell me. The staff have been great with my daughter's dairy intolerance throughout the year and now she tolerates dairy more they have adjusted her menu. Much thanks
to the kitchen. She also has an issue with her eye a lazy eye which needs a patch to be used on/off and the staff have been great with this which is making a great difference to her vision. The app is updated throughout the day and I look forward to seeing what she's eaten and done during the day. Much thanks and happy parent here

My daughter had her settling-in sessions in December, which we were never offered at her previous nursery. I found these to be really beneficial for both myself and my daughter to know she was happy with the move. Due to illness, she missed her final settling-in session but I know from the few sessions
she did have that the staff are really caring and the children are all happy and are being really well looked after.

Amazing staff! My son loves it at Meadows. He was quite anxious about starting preschool and he found the transition very overwhelming. As soon as I let the staff know how he was feeling they really made that extra effort to make sure he was feeling settled and ok and within a week he loved it.

Fantastic nursery setting, really really happy with the care and accommodations we have received. The extra support and tailored experience has been brilliant, and I really appreciate the great line of communication with all relevant staff, it's lovely to know how easily I can get in touch if I ever
need to, someone is always there to talk.

I absolutely love Meadows! All the staff are always so polite and helpful, they have a great rapport with my daughter which is so reassuring when trusting people to look after your child. Any issues I have had have been rectified and sorted immediately, the manager is so helpful, kind and professional
at all times. I get regular updates on my daughter's day via the app, handover is always informative and my child's development has come on leaps and bounds since starting this nursery. I believe the staff genuinely care about my child and have her best interests at heart and as a parent, this is the most important thing for me. Could not recommend enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my daughter started in September she has grown a massive amount of confidence! The nursery staff are all friendly and have the time to talk to you when it's pick up and collecting time.
When my daughter first started I was unsure if a nursery setting would be a bit too much for her but she loves
going in now and walks straight in.
The communication between Meadow staff and us parents is really good, the app is updated daily and I can check how much food my daughter has had and at what time.
Thank you to everyone at Meadow!

Found the nursery staff to be professional, helpful and supportive to my son.
He's my first child and settled my nerves with ease. Find the app incredibly useful also and they always keep me up to date.
Can't fault them.

My daughter has only just started and has never been apart from me but she just runs in so excited and happy to be there and that speaks volumes for me as normally just someone sitting by me gets her upset. To see her not need me as she sets off on the first educational journey of her school career
I couldn't be more happy and confident that I chose the best nursery to mould my little girl's mind.

Review from Joseph H (Father of Child) published on 9 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of the staff who have worked with our daughter from the baby room up to toddler 2s have been fantastic. She has formed key bonds with a number of staff who are mentioned regularly at home and on our journeys so have clearly had a fantastic impact on her development. Over the most recent festive
period, our daughter came home with paintings, pictures, and crafts almost every day on top of the regular picture updates on the Family app showing the various themed activities going on in her room which is amazing to see as a parent. We are really happy with not only the key staff in her room that have built these relationships of trust and comfort but also the wider team I.e management and catering who also know my child by name, and will happily take her in in the mornings and genuinely seem to have a little relationship of their own with her.

Review from Cassie B (Mother of Child) published on 6 September 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everything about this nursery has a positive impact on the development of my child. The staff are forever encouraging the children to learn in different ways, from playtime to reading and writing. The staff are friendly and are very person-centred. The manager will go above and beyond to others, not
only for the children at the nursery but for the parents/carers of the children - she is understanding and approachable and will support you in any way possible with financial difficulties and personal issues. My child has been at that nursery for just over 3 years and he loves every second of his time there, he talks nothing but positive things. He praises the cook for making his lovely healthy balanced diet meals and says she’s a lovely lady and also talks incredibly highly of each and every nursery nurse who is with him on a day-to-day basis. The nursery has a positive vibe and is has a happy environment.

Absolutely amazing nursery and staff. My daughter loves it there so much, she's so excited to go and upset to leave. Management and the girls all work as an ace team, they support the individual needs of both parents and child. Literally couldn't fault them the whole time my daughter was at Meadow.
I was recommended Meadow Nursery by my health visitor for being one of the good ones, now it's me recommending it to others. Thanks so much to everyone at Meadow you are all amazing.

All the staff at Meadow Nursery are absolutely amazing. My little girl wasn’t so well when she first started, but after that, they really helped her settle in. They are so welcoming, informative, caring and go above and beyond. Thanks to this approach, my daughter walks into the nursery happy, inquisitive
and comes out smiling. I can highly recommend this nursery; thank you for all that you do!

Overall, it a very satisfactory experience. The only thing I can think of for improving further would be pictures of the child being shared more often. Having said that, I am sure you guys would have a definitive reason for doing what you are doing.

Absolutely brilliant nursery. All staff are amazing with the children and support parents just as much as the kids. My daughter has loved attending Meadows since the day she started. Parents are kept upto date on their child’s/childrens day regularly, from toilet trips to food and activities. Personally,
I wouldn’t send my child anywhere else.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.971)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.971) out of 10 for Meadow Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.971 for Meadow Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.971
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Meadow Nursery is based on 26 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 84 number of registered child places is 16.8, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
