Review from K T (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website
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.

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.

Review from Carly W (Mother of Child) published on 20 October 2020 Submitted via Website
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!

Review from Chloe O (Mother of Child) published on 13 October 2020 Submitted via Website
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!

Review from Joanne (Mother of Child) published on 3 December 2018 Submitted via Website
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.

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.

Review from Natalie L (Mother of Child) published on 26 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.
