My son started at Bluebells in September 2016 (when they opened). He loves it there, the atmosphere created by the staff for the children is great. All the children have smiles on their faces. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. The opening hours enable me to work full-time and always
be confident that my son is in good hands. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for childcare.

Review from Enma H (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My little girl is almost two and has been attending Bluebells for four months now. The transition into full-time work isn't easy and as all parents will relate, the most difficult part is finding a place for your precious one to be looked after safely, and to be happy, is extremely difficult. I feel
like the luckiest parent ever because my daughter settled in at Bluebells so quickly and the initial separation anxiety was kept to a minimum with the dedication of the friendly and extremely caring professionals at Bluebells. My child's confidence and development has come on in abundance since she started her care here, and I can't thank the staff enough. In fact, she loves it so much, it's actually a challenge for me to get her to leave at the end of the day, which speaks volumes to me. Highly recommended to all parents. Thanks so much to all the staff for all the hard work you do each day.

Review from Angela J (Mother of Child) published on 19 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have and continue to find the staff very welcoming and very approachable.
My boy took a little while to settle but loves it now and has grown fond of his key worker as he was in babies. The staff are very warm towards the children too, which is reassuring.


My only critique would be that I wasn't

made aware of the parents evening and I found a lot of gaps in his learning journey, however, I'm hoping that as he's more settled, come Octobers meeting, he will be reaching his targets.

My son attends part time here and absolutely loves it! He never wants to leave. His skills have come on no end in the two months since he started, and the staff are great at recognising the individual's interests and encouraging them.
I also love that they are provided with fresh healthy food cooked
on site, and it's encouraging him to eat much better!
Being only a year old, the facilities here are all new and clean and fresh and relevant to the specific age groups. Particularly the sensory room, and the baby room is a lovely environment.

I have had my children in Bluebells Nursery since September 2016 and I am very happy with the support and care my children both receive. The staff are also very helpful and understanding and help when they can.

Lovely nursery, my son settled very quickly and I can leave him knowing he's well cared for by the friendly staff. I'd highly recommend Bluebells to anyone if they are looking for a brilliant nursery that genuinely cares about their child's progress and wellbeing. My son has developed into a confident
little boy and he loves going to nursery, playing with his friends and doing lots of fun and creative activities with the staff.

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.
