Review from Carley P (Mother of Child) published on 28 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 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. The staff are all very approachable, friendly and fantastic with the children. My little girl evens wants
to come when it’s weekend she enjoys it that much.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

My little one has been in the baby room for 2 months and absolutely loves it! He settled in straight away feeling so comfortable with all the staff from day one. The room always has such a lovely atmosphere and the staff are always so welcoming when dropping off and doing handovers. Love how happy my
little one is when picking up, always had such a good day, lots of fun activities and friends to play with.

My child absolutely loves going to Bluebells and that is attributable to the staff. They appear to enjoy their job and most importantly enjoy spending time developing and caring for your child and this is illustrated in the detailed summary of each child’s day. Since attending Bluebells, my son's independence,
confidence and individuality has come on leaps and bounds and this is testament to the conducive learning environment provided. There approach has always been collaborative and holistic in nature which is important for continuity between nursey and home life. I'd have no hesitation in referring Bluebells to anyone, I trust them with my most valued possession.

My child has been very happy since moving to this nursery from her former one. She looks forward to going to the nursery and has made lots of friends. The staff are so helpful and friendly and my child is developing well. There is a noticeable shift towards structured activities in the pre-school area
which is positive and should be good preparation for the school environment.

Our baby has been going to the nursery for three months now and is always happy to be left. Although she can't talk, she seems to look happy enough and enjoys her time there when we pick her up at the end of the day. The staff are very friendly and my daughter seems to have settled well with them.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.556)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.556) out of 10 for Partou Bluebells Day Nursery & Pre-school 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.889 for Partou Bluebells Day Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.889
  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 4.667 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Partou Bluebells Day Nursery & Pre-school is based on 12 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.667
  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.
