Bluestone Nursery is an amazing nursery. All the staff are polite and friendly. They made me feel comfortable and I could trust them with my little boy. My little boy has just started school but I believe if it was not for the staff at Bluestone he wouldn't be so confident and ready for school like
he is. My little boy loved the nursery and all the staff. Highly recommended!

Bluestone have looked after two of my children (my last just leaving at the end of August to start school!). They have provided me the best support with both my children and helped me with everything. They treat the children like their own and I know that they both enjoyed themselves thoroughly. I want
to thank them for all the care and support they've given me over the last 6 years and I want them to know what an amazing job they have done moulding my children. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a nursery. Their children will be fed like royalty, experience a range of activities, have knowledge about plenty of topics and most importantly, their children will be doted on by each member of staff they come into contact with?

My little boy has been at Bluestone since he was 10 months old and recently started school. I cannot thank you Bluestone and their staff enough for helping him grow into an amazing little boy. They have helped me over the past 5 years as a single mother. Always able to accommodate extra days and always
there to listen. Staff from Bluestone have become lifelong friends and I will always be grateful for my sons time at the nursery.

Review from Natalie S (Mother of Child) published on 13 August 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son attended Bluestone Nursery from 9 months of age until 2 years of age. During his time at this nursery, he absolutely thrived. Nothing was ever too much to ask from the owner, manager or any of the staff. They were very professional and caring. I was initially very anxious to leave my son with
the nursery as he had never been taken care of by anybody other than myself and our family. However, during his first few weeks attending Bluestone, the staff sent me emails every day that he attended, with photographs of my son attached. This reassured me so much and put my worries at rest. The staff there did not have to do this for me but did it as an act of kindness and it did not go unnoticed. Unfortunately, we moved out of the area and we had to move my son to another nursery otherwise he would still be attending now. I would recommend this nursery to everybody, the staff are unbelievably great and devote their time to helping each child’s development grow.

Bluestone is an absolutely fantastic nursery - my son attended the setting from 11 months old to 2.5 years and has flourished under the care of staff. All members of staff are friendly, welcoming and approachable and regularly discussed my child’s needs, learning goals and gave activities to do at home
to encourage development. My son thoroughly enjoyed attending Bluestone and made friends during his time at the nursery. Honestly, I could not recommend Bluestone nursery enough to friends, family and individuals looking for a nursery in the Leigh area.

Bluestone Nursery was a wonderful nursery for my daughter. She thrived and was very happy. The staff are lovely, kind and friendly. The kids were all so happy, it is such a close-knit homely nursery. The chef is also the best! Management is very responsive and anything raised and addressed promptly.
I didn't have any bad experiences at all with this nursery. I was always confident my child was safe and well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been going to Bluestone Nursery for just under 2 years. I have recommended this nursery to everyone I have come across! The staff are lovely and friendly, my son has special needs and cannot communicate using words, it's a struggle to understand sometimes what he wants or needs, which must
be difficult for the staff at the nursery, but I always felt comfortable leaving him there and confident knowing that they always do their best to keep him happy and stimulated. The management has also been incredibly supportive from the start, helping me every step of the way to get my son the support he needs. One of my favourite things about Bluestone is that the children have a day filled with fun and activities, but also educating them in the funniest way possible. If you want a nursery that will go above and beyond for you and your children, then definitely look at this one.
Reply from Jackie Rowson, Manager at Bluestone Nursery, Leigh
Thank you for your lovely review and kind words, it really means a lot. We're so happy that we can help and pleased that he's had so much fun with us. We will miss him.

Such lovely staff, amazing chef and a beautiful place for my daughter to have grown up in, so many wonderful activities take place for the children.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my kids have been going to Bluestone since they were very small. All the staff members are so caring and professional in every aspect that they never missed home. Their social and communication development is awesome. We never had to worry about anything while they are in nursery. We always
have a piece of mind that they would be having fun and learning all good things what they need to in their early life. I can’t thank all the staff members for their hard work during the Covid pandemic. They worked so really hard to take care of our kids and keeping them safe. Definitely they are the best around.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our Son has attended Bluestone Nursery, for the past two years, and has just sadly left to start school. He has benefitted greatly from attending this educational setting and we feel so pleased that we decided to send him to this particular nursery. The staff and management are totally committed, professional
and so very caring.
Our Son has additional needs and the Nursery Staff were so kind to him and always provided a very nurturing and welcoming environment for him. He loved the activities that were provided and he would be keen to tell us what he had been doing. We feel that the staff helped him to gain confidence and he certainly loved attending and developed a lovely bond with his key worker.
We feel proud to say that our Son attended Bluestone Nursery and we can not thank them enough for all that they did for him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The social development in my child has been incredible. He has grown in all areas of his mental capabilities from emotional stability to empathy and self-awareness.
The staff were exceptional and delivered a package of stimulating activities to work together and with each other and also on their own
to help focus the minds and confidence.
The Nursery felt overall high quality and value for money with all the pre lockdown extra curriculum activities and even teaching my child to swim, and food awareness introducing new and nutritious meals into my child’s routine it has helped at hope to cater for a wider range of foods.
The owners, managers and staff all are very professional and very helpful to assist in helping our busy work schedules. This nursery put all doubts and worries to bed and it was an absolute pleasure sending my child here.
Keep up the great work.

Yesterday the staff took some of the children to the supermarket in Leigh, where they gave out flowers and cards they had made. The shoppers were delighted and thanked the children for making their day. They even saw one of their preschoolers who was on half term break. This action was part of Random
Acts of Kindness Day. The nursery often make random acts of kindness, giving flowers to staff, treats of cake and many other treats which are greatly appreciated by all recipients. All staff go the extra mile in helping the children to grow into confident young people. The kindness shown will be replicated by the children themselves. I am so pleased my grandchild goes to this nursery.

The Bluestone Nursery staff have become a second family for my two little boys. The staff are so kind, caring and attentive and always have their best interests at heart. My boys always have so much fun here and it puts my mind at ease when I leave them to know they are having the best time, they always
come home with paintings and pictures they have made for us which I love. I couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

Absolutely fantastic nursery. My son has attended for six months and has loved every minute of it and he has learned so much. All members of staff are lovely and understanding. The cook is amazing. He makes delicious healthy food every day for all the children. I can't thank everyone at Bluestone enough
for everything during the time my son has attended and I wouldn't want him to go anywhere else.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended Bluestone Nursery for the last 2 1/2 years and has loved every minute!
From the moment I visited the nursery, I knew he would settle quickly and he did just that. The management and staff have always been very accommodating when occasionally we have had to make minor changes or
needed longer hours etc.
The staff have always been highly attentive and it is evident that they take pride in their work. Daily feedback to us is brilliant and any issues have always been dealt with quickly and efficiently. The nursery has a lovely, homely feel and children always seem happy and comfortable whenever we drop off/pick up. Their approach to learning is wonderful, varied and innovative and allows children to express themselves as the little individuals that they are. We and our son will definitely be very sad to leave Bluestone this year and cannot thank them enough for the care, love and attention they have shown him.
We could not recommend this nursery highly enough.

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.
