Review from K P (Mother of Child) published on 4 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot recommend this nursery enough. All the staff have been fantastic with our daughter who has taken so long to settle down. The areas which we need to work on were highlighted and very honest discussions were had with us about how she was at nursery. We used to call every day to check on her and they were still very patient and detailed with their updates and answers. We even lost a few items that were found at nursery and returned to us promptly! A fab team - thank you for all your hard work during these times.

Overall Experience
Amazing. Just want to say a big thank you to all the staff at Bluebells Nursery for making my daughter's journey through her nursery life the most pleasant and enjoyable. Our daughter started with Bluebells at 10 months old and was with them all the way through until starting school this September.
We found the staff at Bluebells the most caring and amazing bunch of people we came across whilst looking for a placement for our daughter and during her taster sessions, this gave us the comfort and security we needed as first-time parents for the safety and wellbeing of our daughter.
Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her time at Bluebells.
Again a big thank you to all the staff, in particular, her Keyworkers, and managers/deputy managers (you know who you are) for everything.

We wish you all the best and hope to see you guys soon.

Overall Experience

My daughter has attended since she turned 1 year of age. Her key persons have been constants since she started. There have been changes to management over the years. The staff listen and care. The children are happy. My daughter is really settled. She has formed connections with all the staff as she has progressed through the rooms. The team really listens and tries to take on the feedback from parents. Thank you to all the staff for all you do.

Overall Experience

My youngest daughter, aged 2, attends Bluebells and loves it. Every morning, she is greeted by a cheery member of staff and my daughter happily walks in without any fuss or tears. The staff are consistent so I always know who I'm talking to or who to ask about the care of my child. They always do a variety of activities, including painting, playing outside, singing, etc. Management genuinely care and always strive to help where possible. A very understanding team who take an active interest in my child and learning more about her and her home life, so they can incorporate that into the nursery.

Overall Experience

My child has been attending Bluebells since 2017. He started when he was just 8 months old and the care he has received has always been very good. The staff are very caring but yet professional. The activities are great and stimulating and the nursery is always clean. The learning book app used is good but it would also be good if there were an app to see daily activities and a record of naps and what’s been eaten. Other than that, I can’t fault the communication or the nursery.

Review from Jordan M (Father of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Bluebells Day Nursery. My son attended from 10 months old all the way up to preschool, the staff at Bluebells really took the time and care to bring the best out of my son. He always came home happy and was eager to go back and see all his friends and especially the key persons, who were with him from the baby room until the end. I felt confident that my son was in good hands and getting the time and attention he needed. The staff at Bluebells are caring, kind and their attention to every child’s needs are second to none, if I could choose a nursery all over again, I would always pick Bluebells Day Nursery. I cannot recommend them enough for all their work and dedication they put towards the children.

Review from Andrew M (Father of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I and my wife both work in education. Picking a nursery for us was a really big decision. Before picking Bluebells we visited in the region it 15 nurseries in the Preston area, ranging from OFSTED outstanding to RI. As soon as we stepped foot into Bluebells we knew it was the right place. Smiling and enthusiastic staff. You would be amazed at how many nurseries we went to, and the staff never smiled or seemed demotivated.
I can’t speak highly enough of the place. The staff are amazing and the leadership team are equally brilliant. There is a real focus in preschool at getting them ready for school - Reading, writing, maths etc. My son has come on leaps and bounds.

Best piece of advice I could give a future parent. Go visit it. See the magic for yourself.

I cannot praise this nursery enough. They have looked after my children throughout lockdown and have handled the COVID situation extremely well, whilst at the same time, maintaining a high level of professionalism, care and education for the children. Well done Bluebells.

Review from Carley P (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My son has been at the nursery for a couple of years, moving through the different rooms. As a premature baby, he came with a lot of additional needs which the nursery met with open arms. They administered his daily medication and always updated me and kept me in the loop on his progress. Now she’s older, he skips into nursery and loves his times spent there. He eats meals he would never at home and has learned and progressed so much. I really feel the nursery has helped him catch up with his development and he’s thriving.
My second baby is about to start nursery soon and I feel much more confident second time around, knowing how well he will be looked after and the familiar faces around the nursery.

I recommend this nursery to all my friends and know my children are in a safe and caring environment.

I honestly can not recommend Bluebells enough! My little girl has been coming since she was 18 months old and is now 3, she absolutely loves it and has come on leaps and bounds since she started.

Review from Jaina (Mother of Child) published on 22 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We first sent our son to Bluebells nursery when he was 6 months old, I was incredibly nervous about doing so as I was worried about leaving him with people other than family. However, he has loved every minute of his time at nursery, he is quite a shy boy who sometimes needs a bit of time to settle, the staff have been patient and caring with him and I am eternally grateful. He has excelled whilst he has been at pre-school and I thank the great staff for this. My second son has started Bluebells at the same age and he absolutely loves! I would have no hesitation in recommending Bluebells to any other parent!

Overall Experience
I would highly recommend Bluebells Nursery.

My daughter started in the baby room at 9 months just after lockdown. I was quite worried about how my daughter would settle after such a long period without mixing with others. The staff team were fantastic and we can’t thank you all enough. They are always very welcoming, warm and kind and set my mind at ease. My daughter settled in very well and loves going. The staff team are always professional and give us daily updates. My daughter enjoys exploring and getting involved in all the activities they provide. We love the regular videos and detail records from her amazing keyworker online very in informative. My daughter appears very content and has formed a positive relationship with all the wonderful staff. Thanks, ladies for all your hard work and making it fun and safe for my daughter to learn and grow.

Review from Kaveeta S (Mother of Child) published on 21 October 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

After visiting other nurseries in Preston, I instantly felt a connection with Bluebells. Bluebells are fantastic in every way from listening, communicating, range of activities and most importantly progression. Taking into account the covid restrictions, they verbally communicate everything that my son has engaged in, eaten and any other information they feel is important to share. The staff are very approachable and very professional. I would highly recommend Bluebells as a nursery.

Overall Experience
Our daughter has been at Bluebells since she was 8 months old - she is now 3 and a half and is still as happy here as she always has been. The staff are brilliant and our little ones love them - they know her so well and she has learnt and grown so much in the last 3 years.
During COVID everything has been calm and as normal as possible for the children while teaching them the need to be safe and understand as much or as little as is needed.

The team are so friendly and always have time to talk - I couldn’t ask for my daughter to be in better hands!

Overall Experience
Our little girl could not be in better hands. Her keyworkers are fantastic; they were the first to witness our baby's first steps!

We were so anxious about starting nursery at 11 months but she settled so quickly and she has come on so much since joining Bluebells which is testament to how much she enjoys being there as a result of her keyworkers care.

We love seeing photos on the Learning Log; it is great to see so many activities taking place.

Thank you so much to the team, we really appreciate all you do!

Overall Experience

My son started at Bluebells when he was almost 9 months old. I was apprehensive about returning to work and leaving my little one in the care of others at nursery, however, the staff in the baby room made this much easier for me to deal with. They are very welcoming and friendly, they provide daily updates in regards to what my son has done at nursery each day, what he's eaten, when he has slept and when he has had his nappy changed. They take regular photos relating to his development and upload these to his online log in which I have access to. He is provided with nappies, baby wipes, water, breakfast, lunch, tea and snacks. My little boy is always smiling when I return to collect him and he now happily walks himself into the baby room ready for his breakfast and the eventful day ahead.
