Review from Claire B (Mother of Child) published on 29 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my son. The staff are all incredibly caring and qualified, they are always happy to see your child and spend time with them.
Our son has additional needs and nothing has ever been too much for Bluebells Private Day Nursery, their SENCO is absolutely amazing.
The activities they do with the children are great and they have such a good sensory room and big enclosed outside space available. They play outside in all weathers so I'd definitely recommend them to any parents with a child that's very outdoorsy.
The rooms always seem to be very clean and safe. Their menu has lots of varied, healthy options with a different choice every day throughout the month.
The prices they charge for what you get are very reasonable and they allow you to stretch any funding hours across the whole year if you wanted to which is a big help.

We live a good couple of miles away but would recommend anyone local to consider Bluebells as I couldn't fault them at all.

Overall Experience
Amazing staff, made to feel extremely welcome, my son has special needs and is learning at a much lower level to his peers, Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston took this in their stride and since Parker started Bluebells, many more special needs children have started at bluebells and all have absolutely thrived in their care!
Always go above and beyond for parents and children in their care, you are truly tret like one of the family and I can never be more greatful for everything you all done for Parker and for myself.
Amazing facilities, encourage growth and learning, cleanliness is to a very high standard, friendly and welcoming staff with a range of qualifications, and most of all family, we weren’t just a child under their care and a parent of that child, we was a small little family that communicated well and worked together as a team to fight for what Parker truely deserved in life.

Thank you to all Bluebells staff, I’m sure we will keep in touch!

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended preschool and she is leaving for school this time. She has had the best time with lots of activities and she has come on leaps and bounds since attending this fabulous nursery. She has formed strong bonds with the staff who are so caring and they are so supportive with my child's emotional needs. Often my daughter doesn't want to leave when it's home time which in my eyes shows how much fun she has and how much she loves the staff. The nursery have also done some fantastic outings and she especially enjoyed when the farm and party bus came to nursery. She will miss you so much Bluebells but we will definitely come to visit in her new school uniform soon. Thank you for being a big part of my child's development and I cannot recommend this nursery enough.

Review from Natalie O (Mother of Child) published on 25 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son has attended this nursery since May 2021. It has been an incredible journey for my son at Bluebells as he has additional needs and they have been a big part of his progress. It has been overwhelming to see him develop over the past 2 years due to the hard work and support put in by the manager and staff at the nursery. When we moved from Essex we looked around 4 different nurseries and even though Bluebells Nursery was quite a long journey for us we are so glad we choose this nursery. They have been a big part of our son's life helping his development and to see him now thriving is amazing. The bond my son has with the staff is heartwarming to see (even the chef) and he will really miss them. My son has allergies and they have always been very cautious and made sure he has a safe diet whilst at nursery and on trips. My older children previously attended 3 different nurseries and Bluebells Nursery has definitely stood out the most, it is the best in Preston! Thank you Bluebells!

All the staff at Bluebells are kind and caring and amazing with the children! Bluebells have provided the children with extra curriculum activities, trips and lots of fun family days where parents get the chance to get involved too which is lovely. I would highly recommend Bluebells as it has made my little girl ready for big school.

Overall Experience

My son and daughter both attend Bluebells. My son is just leaving there to start school. He has loved it there every day and always mentions how the staff have looked after him and that he’s enjoyed his day there. The staff are all so lovely and helpful. We have loved having Bluebells as our nursery family and they have been amazing in communicating and teaching. Every day my son would come home with new things he has learned there. The nursery has a really good range of ways to teach children, such as bringing people in to show their careers to the children, learning songs, playing outside, and trips out of the nursery to local places such as Brockholes and woodland areas. I cannot commend them enough. Keep doing what you do and we will always be grateful for the excellent start you have given our children.

Overall Experience

From the first day of our little boy starting Bluebells Nursery, we have been nothing but impressed and overwhelmed with how caring and amazing the staff and nursery are. The resources are amazing and so much thought goes into the daily activities of the rooms. The manager and all the staff members go above and beyond with every aspect of our little boys journey through nursery ensuring that we are always involved in everything they do, our little boy loves coming to nursery. We couldn’t be happier with our little boy's development since joining the family at Bluebells and the bonds he has with staff and children is so lovely to see. We would highly recommend everyone to Bluebells. Well done all!

Overall Experience

Our children love Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston. They started in the Baby Room and are now in Toddlers. They are excited in the mornings as we get ready for 'school', and they always come home happy. They love the staff, who all have so much energy and positivity - even at the end of the day when my wife and I pick the kids up. The kids have learnt so much - language, confidence, new activities, new foods. I cannot rate Bluebells highly enough - it's wonderful. We all love Bluebells!

Review from Michael J (Father of Child) published on 19 December 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My wife and I have been really impressed with Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school from day one and are made up to see how much our daughter is flourishing. She has been attending full-time since September, in the baby room, and she has developed so many skills. She has developed some wonderful bonds with the staff which is both heartwarming and reassuring.

Each day she is up to something new and exciting and from the pictures and write-ups we receive it's clear to see that she loves nursery and thoroughly enjoys the rich and varied curriculum the nursery has to offer. Our daughter particularly enjoys messy play and she is presented with numerous opportunities to engage in sensory and craft activities each day. In addition to this, she has loved the music mischief sessions and this is a lovely addition to what the nursery already offers. The staff are always very friendly, professional and welcoming and always take the time to provide us with detailed updates on our daughter's progress. We couldn't be happier!

Review from Akilabanu C (Mother of Child) published on 22 September 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I don't know where to start, but the staff of the nursery is amazing overall. My daughter has some issues with her development, but they were so helpful in all ways. They were getting her involved and (anchorage) in all the activities that they do, for example, going out on trips with her or participating in sports day.
The manager is one of my favourites as she helped me with all the paperwork or (phone call) that we need to do for her and getting her ready for new school.
The facility in the nursery is also very good, and my daughter always finished her lunch; she comes home filled up, clean and fresh.

Strongly recommend this nursery, and I cannot thank them enough; everyone was so good, polite and always with a smiley face.

My daughter has been attending Bluebells preschool for over a year and had no trouble settling in. The staff are very friendly and obviously passionate about what they do.
My daughter is always excited to be dropped off which confirms she does have a good time there

I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Review from Hema P (Mother of Child) published on 18 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been going to Bluebells nursery since he was 10 months old and is now nearly 4 years old. He has come on leaps and bounds in terms of meeting key milestones, potty training, communication skills and confidence. He learns a lot by doing activities at nursery that he wouldn't do at home.
Food is cooked freshly on-site and they cater for a fussy eater and vegetarian diet.
The Management team are very flexible and will do their best to help with additional child care arrangements at short notice. This was extremely helpful when I was recovering from being in hospital.
Each and every member of the nursery staff are exceptional all the way from Babies to Pre-School. I cannot fault them in any way and I am very pleased with the level of care he receives. We live quite far from the nursery, however, we will not change to one located closer as our boy is very happy.

Throughout the pandemic, the nursery has remained open without impacting its child care services.

My son has been at Bluebells since he was 9 months and is now in preschool. He seemed so settled from the moment he started and the staff have always welcomed him with open arms. I can’t fault the staff, their constant updates on my son day to day and his development, are fantastic!

I would recommend Bluebells to anyone as they really do care for each child they look after and they are always interested in what is going on outside of nursery as well, which in turn helps them understand the children and families better.

Review from Chantelle B (Mother of Child) published on 18 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little girl has been going to Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston for seven months now and she absolutely adores it. She is always talking about all the friends she has made and talks about the staff. She always comes home clean and happy. She has brilliant relationships with all the staff. I’m kept updated lots on both the app, pickup and drop off's. I love that the parents voice is used in everyday planning in the nursery and we receive feedback on the things they are working on with her and what she needs to develop. In such a short time her confidence has grown leaps and bounds and it is so lovely to hear all about the friends she makes and how happy it makes her. I have the upmost confidence in every staff member at Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston in knowing they will do everything to care and develop my daughter in ways I can’t when i’m at work. Thank you so much for everything you do, we love Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston.

Review from Sophie B (Mother of Child) published on 17 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can not recommend this nursery enough! My little boy started at 8 months old, I was so nervous leaving him but he settled in so well, the staff were brilliant and really helped him feel safe and content. He is so happy to go to nursery in the morning with a big smile on his face as soon as he knows where he is and is always as happy when I pick him up! His confidence has grown so much whilst being at Bluebells and that is all thanks to the staff, they have really supported him by encouraging him to join in with messy activities (which he used to not like but now loves!). They are amazing!
Bluebells provides a safe, secure and fun environment for the children, I love seeing his learning book of what he’s been up to and seeing how happy he is. It’s hard to believe for me because he was such a clingy baby but now has become so independent.

Thank you Bluebells.

Review from Gemma W (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy attended Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston from the age of eight months until he left in September 2020 at aged four years and five months, to start school. I cannot recommend Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston highly enough. The staff were fantastic and they genuinely care for the children that attend nursery. My little boy learnt so much at nursery, as well as having fun every day and because they did such a fantastic job of preparing him for school, he has settled with no problems and his confidence continues to grow. Although my little one left nursery several months ago he still talks about the teachers, his friends and experiences regularly, as he has such fond memories. Bluebells Private Day Nursery and Pre-school, Preston definitely gave our little boy the best start in life and we were extremely satisfied with the care and attention he received.

Overall Experience

Bluebells Nursery is committed to creating and providing a safe, secure, hygienic and stimulating environment for my child. I have noticed that the main priority for staff is the children and their happiness. Whilst my child was in Bluebells care they ensure that my child gets the opportunity to enhance his all round development ad knowledge so he can develop individual skills and gain an appreciation of the world according to his natural abilities regardless his ethnic origin, religious, beliefs or gender. Very professional, dedicated and very good skilled staff.
