Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has grown up through Bluestone nursery from the baby room all the way up to pre school. From the second we entered the nursery the love and warmth of the staff really hit us. We have felt reassured, that the children are always a priority and that they are safe and well looked after. The way
the nursery is managed is brilliant, the staff throughout go above and beyond. The nursery the staff at Bluestone have built is something to be proud of. Our son's interests were known, tapped into and he really has thrived. He was so well prepared for school and Bluestone played a huge part in that. The thought that goes into the activities and forest school set up is brilliant, and love how much time they spend outdoors whatever the weather. I don't know how they do it but our son would nap and eat way more food variety than he would ever at home and it takes a massive worry off parents sending their children into a childcare setting at a young age. Thank you Bluestone!

Thank you so much - that means a lot. It was a pleasure to have him here and now his little brothers too.

I can't speak highly enough of this nursery. The staff have been absolutely amazing, they communicate clearly and regularly, which really puts my mind at ease. I moved my son here after he struggled to settle at another nursery, and the difference has been incredible. He's happy, thriving, and excited
to go every day. He especially loves the meals and the wide range of activities they offer. They have also supported my son with his speech and language, I'm so grateful for the care and support the team provides, it truly feels like the perfect place for him.

The staff build up a great relationship with the children and it's great to know that you are leaving your child in welcoming and kind hands to.
I have watched my child grow in confidence and learn lots of new things.

My little boy has attended this nursery since 9 months old up to starting school and he has always felt happy, safe and secure. It was like his second home. The staff all go above and beyond to make sure the children are content and I couldn’t be more grateful for the start they have given my little
boy in life. My youngest still attends and I always recommend the nursery to anyone who is looking for childcare.

My son started this nursery when he was 18 months old after being pulled from another nursery and it is the best thing I have ever done. He has thrived at this nursery all the staff are absolutely amazing, so caring and loving for all the children. My child has extra additional needs and they helped
me get help and support for him for school and were always so understanding of his situation. I am so impressed with this nursery that I am sending my youngest in a couple of weeks and I don't have any worries or separation anxiety as I know he will be treated like a little king. And the safe guarding in this nursery is impeccable. 100% recommend to anyone its such a wonderful place and staff are like family to us now.

An absolutely amazing nursery! All the staff are caring, approachable and kind. As a mum, I struggled alot with anxiety, and the staff have been fantastic in reassuring me when my son is at nursery. I always feel they take time to listen to me and my son. It has been amazing to watch my son build his
confidence at nursery, and the staff are very proactive in helping children learn and explore. I would recommend this nursery.

Our daughter attended Bluestone nursery from being ten months old right up to starting school aged four and a half. We can not thank the nursery enough for everything they did for our daughter and got her ready for school.
The care all of the staff took of our daughter had been amazing and we couldn't
have wished for a better environment to help her grow. All of the staff have been lovely and always took time to chat with us and answer any questions.
The activities our daughter was provided with and meals have been amazing and we have loved to hear about them after each day.
We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone and already have recommended to a few friends.
Thank you Bluestone for playing such an important role in our child's development.

My son attends Bluestones Nursery in the preschool room. He has very bad attachment issues and does not enjoy being away from us. But one staff member especially made him very comfortable and made the transition much calmer. He spoke about nursery a lot and told us all the many things he learnt. He
loves being outside and loved that aspect of the nursery. Thank you so much for looking after my boy.

I can’t express how grateful I am of you all. You have all been really wonderful in taking care of my son and putting up with me as a nervous parent! I can’t fault how you’ve loved and cared for my son and you’ve answered all my calls and questions with empathy and patience. It is the perfect environment
with welcoming smiles and lots of advice. It’s obvious that the staff work hard and strive to provide the best possible service. Yes, I pay the nursery to take care of my son while I’m at work but what sets this nursery apart from the rest is the way they work; extremely professional yet with kindness, grace and respect. They have welcomed us into their nursery ‘family’ and for that, I am blessed. The activities my son is involved with and the experiences he is exposed to are amazing. He’s always active either physically or mentally and the nursery sends me lots of photos throughout the day. The food must taste good too as his eating habits have improved so much!

Thanks so much, this is lovely to read - I will let the staff know - Mr. Cooker is a wonderful chef.

Our Daughter started bluestone in January 2021 and it has definitely been the correct choice. From starting babies to the present, the care has been fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for more. The staff are lovely, friendly, motivated and our daughter has progressed hugely. The management is great,
very organised and stops at nothing to make you feel welcome. The nursery itself is lovely and inviting, great variety of activities and has a healthy, balanced food menu. We definitely made the best decision by sending our little one here!

A fantastic nursery. My daughter started in the pandemic and was nervous and worried due to the restrictions and not being able to go in but the staff have been amazing. They kept me up to date with everything. They made myself and my daughter comfortable and eased my worries. I can't recommend them
enough.

My daughter started in Preschool in September, having been at home with me for 3 years and also growing up in a pandemic she did find this difficult. Rob and Mel have worked so hard to settle her and I'm forever grateful for their commitment, she can be very stubborn and headstrong so I know this is
no easy task. She now wakes up excited to go to nursery and is animated when telling us about her days. Thank you everyone at Bluestone.

After looking at several options for childcare and a million questions we chose Bluestone Nursery in Leigh. Their smaller set-up and dedicated and reassuring staff made all the difference to me as a nervous wreck of a Mum and they have been supportive every step of the way. Nothing is too much trouble,
all questions were met in a conversation and nothing ever feels stupid or rushed through. My child has only been with Bluestone for a month but during this time the development made has been noticeable. It’s hard to leave your little one with someone you don’t know well but Bluestone already feels like extended family.

My daughter has been attending Bluestone since she was about 9 months old. She has specific dietary and skincare instructions which the staff and chef have been more than accommodating to, keeping to her routine and preparing special meals for her. I enjoy seeing updates on the portal throughout the
day of how she is doing and all the different activities she is completing. She has a wonderful bond with her key worker and can tell she feels safe and trusts the staff around her which puts my mind at ease, she has come on leaps and bounds since starting nursery and is becoming more confident and social each day.

Our daughter was initially very nervous starting nursery, we were offered numerous settling in sessions which allowed our daughter to be comfortable and gain confidence at the nursery. All the staff were patient and caring and now 4 months on she loves going and is thriving! She does a huge range of
activities which we always receive photos of via the app, and it's reassuring to be able to see what she's eaten, and how she's slept that day. We can't thank the staff in the baby room enough for helping our daughter settle in and now fully enjoy her time at nursery!

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.445)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.445) out of 10 for Bluestone Nursery, Leigh 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 4.778 for Bluestone Nursery, Leigh is calculated as follows: ( (28 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.778
  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 3.667 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bluestone Nursery, Leigh is based on 3 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 = 3.25
    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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.417
  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.
