Blackberries Childcare Group – Wisbech (Blackberry House Day Nursery) is the flagship setting of the Blackberries group, located on Norwich Road in Wisbech. It is an Ofsted-rated Outstanding early years setting providing high-quality childcare and education for children aged 0–5 within a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment designed to support every stage of development.

The nursery is built around a strong ethos of “inspiring childcare and education, nurturing each child’s qualities and potential.” This is reflected in everyday practice, with a focus on creating a warm, caring environment where children feel secure, valued, and confident to explore, learn, and grow.

Children are supported through carefully designed baby, toddler, and pre-school rooms, each tailored to their individual developmental needs. Learning is delivered through a play-based approach aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), encouraging curiosity, independence, communication, and social development through meaningful, hands-on experiences.

A key strength of the Wisbech setting is its rich indoor and outdoor learning environments, including creative spaces, sensory areas, and outdoor provision that promotes exploration and physical development. Forest School-inspired experiences further enhance children’s confidence, resilience, and understanding of the natural world.

The nursery also places strong emphasis on school readiness, helping children build essential early literacy, numeracy, and independence skills in a fun and engaging way. Strong partnerships with parents ensure families are closely involved in their child’s progress through regular communication and updates.

With a highly qualified, dedicated team and a commitment to excellence, the Wisbech nursery provides a welcoming “home from home” environment where every child is supported to thrive and achieve their full potential.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Blackberries Nursery has been an amazing experience for our family, and I can confidently say it is one of the most caring and well-organised childcare settings we have come across. From the moment you walk through the door, you feel the warm and positive atmosphere. The staff are genuinely passionate
about children, always smiling, patient, and ready to support every child's individual needs.


Our child has developed so much since joining Blackberries Nursery - from language skills to confidence, social interaction, and creativity. The daily activities are fun, educational, and thoughtfully planned. They truly mix play with learning in the best possible way. We especially appreciate the outdoor space, which is safe, clean, and used every day to help the children explore and stay active.


Communication with parents is excellent. We receive updates, photos, and feedback regularly, and the staff are always available to answer questions or discuss our child's progress. The nursery is also

Absolutely amazing nursery. Since my son started here in September 2024 his learning has been so good. He had some speech difficulties when starting and within a month was talking lots more. The nursery workers have so much time they tell you everything about your child's day and inform of you everything
you need to know. There is even a app that they report your child's day on. You never feel rushed with them its a pleasant nursery and everyone is so kind

We couldn't be happier with blackberry nursery!The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and attentive to each child's needs. From the very first day, our little one felt safe, welcomed, and excited to go in every morning. The learning activities are creative and engaging - you can really see how much
thought and effort goes into every part of the day. Communication with parents is excellent, and it's clear the team genuinely loves what they do. We've noticed such positive growth and confidence in our child since joining. Highly recommend this wonderful nursery to any parent looking for a nurturing and inspiring environment!

I can't speak highly enough of this nursery. My son has thrived with them and they are always available to talk if you have any issues or queries, and are always quick to handle/answer them. I could name so many individual staff who have helped my son flourish and who mean so much to him, and all the
children are so lucky to have them. We'll be sad to say goodbye but look forward to his sister joining the BlackBerry family next year! Thank you so much Emma, Rosie, Chelsea, Lisa & the team for creating a fun and safe environment for the children to grow and learn!

I would recommend Blackberries Nursery in Wisbech. They have been an absolute God send to me and my son, who has SEND requirements.
They have helped myself and him massively, he has come along way since starting with them and has a fabulous team of support around him, especially Emma and Chelsea.
They have listened to every worry I have, come up with support plans and helped however they all can. I couldn't recommend this nursery anymore than I already have. My son and I feel listened to, respected, and most of all, he loves going! He has made friends there and the setting is beautifully designed for the children, my son loves the outdoor space aswell. Overall a warm welcome and support from them all.

If I could give this nursery 10 stars, I would. Absolutely amazing, always kept me informed of what's happened during the day, if I ever run into any problems it's solved within seconds. So far 2 out of 3 of my children have come to this nursery, and every single time they've looked forward to going,
they've always, always encouraged my children to thrive and that's exactly what they've done. Absolutely wonderful staff, wonderful outdoor and indoor setting and honestly there's not anything negative I can say about this nursery. Such a lovely wonderful team members! Thank you for all your hard work

Our son really enjoys attending Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech). He always comes out happy and tells us what he has been doing, Blackberry also changes activities/themes regularly which we really like. The staff also give time for handovers each pick-up and drop-off so communication is really
good.

I couldn't be happier with the care and attention my child receives. From the moment we enrolled, the staff have been warm, professional and genuinely caring. The environment is welcoming, safe and stimulating, with a wonderful balance of structured activities and free play. My child is thriving here

My child receives great care and has fun each time she attends nursery. She plays plenty of time outside in the garden, draws and singing. She is fed well. She received great care when she was potty trained. Happy with the nursery and the staff.

Excellent nursery. Our second child is attending this nursery. We never had any complaints. Happy to have something like this close to our home and very good service. Friendly staff. They always give lots of information about the day at nursery and all records on child's book or Internet.

I love how my girl enjoys time in nursery. Every single time when going home, she talks about what was doing and being very excited.
Only thing I wish to see more pictures of activities on day time when in nursery and love to see that parent control app has been started to use and written notes more
often.

The running of the nursery isn't the best and communication between members of staff isn't good. My child has been sent home multiple times for no reason, nothing wrong with him. They do not stick to what they have said they will do.

Our two children have been going to Blackberry House Day Nursery in Wisbech for two years now and are so happy there. The staff are brilliant and we trust that they are in good hands. It's like a home away from home for them. We are always kept informed about what they have been up to and their development.
We couldn't recommend highly enough!

My daughter has been attending this nursery since September and is thriving. She has developed relationships with children and the staff. It's great knowing that your child is in the best hands. My daughter is learning and doing so many different things and coming home telling us facts, it's lovely.
The nursery staff are all so friendly and approachable whilst all being professional. Would recommend this nursery to anyone looking around the area.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.923)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.923) out of 10 for Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech) 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.923 for Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech) is calculated as follows: ( (295 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.923
  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 Blackberry House Day Nursery (Wisbech) is based on 25 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 58 number of registered child places is 11.6, which has been reached with 25 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.
