I cannot recommend this nursery enough. My daughter is coming on leaps and bounds since she transferred to this nursery. The activity provision is tailored to suit the needs of each individual child which allows them to learn and grow through play! The monthly program of events exposes the children to a variety of social and cultural activities; helping them to understand the world they are living in - these are well-planned and communicated so that parents know what is going on and when. I really value the progress reports that are regularly uploaded onto the app. The nursery environment is amazing with a variety of areas that are interesting for children to support them in their learning - the outdoor facilities are brilliant and my daughter loves this part of the nursery. The children enjoy home-cooked food daily.
The staff are supportive and helpful and treat the children with the most love, respect and kindness. It's clear they love their jobs and it's lovely to see.

Honestly the best nursery by far in Warrington. My son's last nursery shut down suddenly, and when I got in touch with them the staff member was so lovely and understanding with my situation. From the visits to my son starting the staff have been amazing and they have put my son's needs first. I can't thank them enough for how settled they have made him feel, even myself with the little poem they gave me. My only regret is I wish I would have sent him here sooner.

My daughter was a very shy girl when it came to meeting others due to being a lockdown baby, but since attending this nursery she has become more comfortable with others. She loves going to nursery and playing with her friends and the staff are just wonderful they all make time for you when you have concerns and just general chit-chat about yourself or your child's development. And the regular updates and pictures on how they get on sent to your personal email address are brilliant, keeps me at ease knowing how my daughter is getting on at the nursery.
Keep up the good work team Blackbrook Nursery School.

Before starting nursery my daughter hardly ever spoke and was struggling with her learning but since coming here she has completely changed. Her speech is so much better she can speak in full sentences and communicate what she wants or what is going on around her, she's struggled with eating but at nursery has no problem eating all of the food they give her. So I can relax a bit knowing that she's eating properly and healthily at nursery. She has progressed so much and loves it there she's always excited to go and has a lot of fun.

Since my son started at this nursery he has learned so much, his speech has improved, he knows all his colours, he’s learning all shapes and retaining the information, he knows numbers up to 20, he’s learned to share and have compassion for another child, over all he has so much confidence in what he is doing and he loves all the teachers they have been so amazing with him, when he first started he cried every time he went in and it was so heartbreaking leaving him but by the time I picked him up he had the best day and settled in nicely and he would cry every time for two months but his teachers would calm him down and he would be great and they communicated with me on how he was doing so that I wasn’t worried. The manager and the team are amazing and the chef cooks some amazing meals and hides veggies in them so well that the children don’t have a clue, I highly recommend this nursery it’s facility’s are great and it has a lovely garden with loads to do.

I have been employed by Evolution Childcare since 2007, beginning my career at the Stables site, where I worked across both the Reception and Early Learners rooms. In 2015, I was promoted to Room Manager in Early Learners and later moved into the Reception Room as Room Manager.
Throughout my career, I have completed extensive in-house training and gained a range of certificates that have supported my professional and personal development. Alongside my core role, I also held the position of Stables Events and Equal Opportunities Officer. In this role, I was responsible for planning and organising monthly events for children, parents, and staff, documenting these events, and promoting awareness of diversity, culture, and inclusion within the setting.
In 2017, I was promoted to Third in Charge, which further developed my understanding of nursery operations and provided opportunities to work closely alongside the Manager, including supporting training exercises. I was then promoted to Assistant Manager in 2019, where I worked with a range of managers and gained valuable leadership and operational experience.
In September 2020, I was promoted to Nursery Manager at Blackbrook. I thoroughly enjoy my role and take great pride in the positive impact we make on the children in our care and their families. Most recently, we have opened our under-twos provision, and I am excited to watch it continue to grow and thrive.
