Blue Sky Day Nursery, has always been exceptional in their care of my child and very much care for him as if he were their own. I find the staff fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and they're always willing to help and support. He has come on leaps and bounds since attending and it's been a great
start to his education.

Very friendly atmosphere and approachable staff. Our daughter really enjoys being there. The nursery is very accommodating with medication and irregular work schedules. The flexibility is brilliant and much appreciated. We also really like the daily notes about our daughters activities and what she
has enjoyed doing.

It is my first time in using Blue Sky for my child. We have been attending the out of school club during the school holidays. We have found Blue Sky great, lots of different activities for my son, he has been on a trip to the beach, and much more. I would highly recommend them. We are going to be using
the breakfast club in September.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Leaving my son at Blue Sky Day Nursery is like leaving him with family. Nothing is too much, and as a first-time mum, I really value their feedback, opinions and experiences. My son experiences a whole range of new and fun activities, that he would never get to do at home. The daily diary he comes home
with shows what varied meal plans they are given, which gives me ideas for what to feed him. I've taken him to nursery when he's been under the weather, and they have given him extra cuddles and reassured me that he will be fine - which he is. The busy days they offer my son acts as a great distraction!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since starting nursery in the Imps Room at the age of 2 years, my child has absolutely thrived under the guidance of the lovely staff at Blue Sky Day Nursery. With little to no previous social interaction with children of his own age prior to starting at this nursery he has become much more confident
and has learned so much with all the activities he gets the chance to enjoy. Most importantly of all, I feel confident as a parent that he is very well looked after and he is so excited to attend.

Review from Lucie M (Mother of Child) published on 21 November 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A fantastic nursery with fantastic staff. All very friendly and brilliant at looking after my little boy. He’s happy to walk in and me leave with no problems. They do their best to accommodate any needs required and also have been helpful on advice to a first time mum.
A clean, well structured set
up and they also help develop the growth in my child with the interaction of children of different ages, as well as a structured learning development within their own age group class with lots of fun and different activities and learning topics.
Couldn’t recommend more.
My son follows attendance after both my nephews had attended.

Our little boy has been going to Blue Sky Day Nursery since he was about 9 months old and he absolutely loves going every week. He always has so much excitement when telling us what he’s been doing. I’m so happy with how the nursery staff are helping us try to potty train our little boy. He always has
a little sticker chart to show us at the end of a busy day.

I have been using Blue Sky for 18months now and I could not be more pleased with the level of care my children receive.
All the staff are fantastic, friendly and give me a rundown of my children's day every time I pick them up. I love how flexible Blue Sky is and how helpful and supportive the staff
are.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out of 10 for Blue Sky Day Nursery (Market Weighton) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.905 for Blue Sky Day Nursery (Market Weighton) is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.905
  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 Blue Sky Day Nursery (Market Weighton) is based on 22 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 76 number of registered child places is 15.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
