Review from James S (Father of Child) published on 18 June 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My twin daughters have attended Blue Sky Pocklington for the past year. I am very happy with the service that Blue Sky provide. They offer a balanced and varied programme of activities to support and encourage the development of my daughters and do so in a warm and caring environment. I am always provided with a comprehensive overview of the activities they have undertaken each day and the food they have eaten. Most important of all, my daughters are very happy and enjoy their time at nursery.

Thank you for your feedback, it's been wonderful watching the girls progress in the baby room and look forward to watching them grow in the next room.

Our daughter has been at Blue Sky Day Nursery a couple of months and we have been pleased with her progress so far. The staff are always welcoming on drop off and collection and seem to engage well with our daughter. They provide a variety of activities each day which are fun and educational.

Couldn’t be more happier with Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington) where my daughter started in September 2023. She absolutely loves it and I love her going knowing she is well looked after by staff and she has so much fun. She has come on leaps and bounds since starting, would highly recommend.

Review from E C (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter loves going to preschool at Blue Sky and always has a fun time doing different activities. The location of the nursery is so convenient and also enables the staff to take the children out and about in the community as well as enjoying activities within the setting. The staff are all lovely and take a real interest in the children showing great care for their needs whilst also being professional and helpful. Blue Sky is a lovely, warm, down-to-earth ‘family feel’ nursery that I would definitely recommend!

Reply from Becki Keeble, Nursery Manager at Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington)

Thank you for your review. We really are lucky to be able to get out into the community so much and show the children lots of new and exciting places.

Review from Lauren W (Mother of Child) published on 28 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My little boy has been attending Blue Sky for the last 2 years now and I cannot fault Blue Sky at all. When he first started nursery it was a massive change for him and he sobbed at the door most mornings, I nearly decided nursery maybe wasn’t for him yet and to take him out, however one member of staff in particular reassured me that once he was in nursery he was absolutely fine which filled me with confidence. Since the little hiccup at the start he loves going, he has come on leaps and bounds since starting, and he’s where he should be for everything thanks to the nursery girls. The nursery is always clean and tidy, the other children always look happy to be there and the different range of activities that they do is lovely to see. If I ever have any queries two particular members of staff are quick to reply through emails and help me out.

Reply from Becki Keeble, Nursery Manager at Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington)

Thank you for your response. It's been lovely to watch your little one's confidence grow more and more while with us.

My little boy has been going to Blue Sky Day Nursery for over a year now and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so amazing with him and with us, as parents. His communication and development have come on loads since he started. They do so many exciting and enjoyable activities with the kids and are so understanding and supportive. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Overall Experience

Since my little girl has started, she has come on leaps and bounds! She enjoys going every week, they’ve really helped her come out of her shell. She’s never liked being left without me, she is very clingy but settled into nursery like she had always been there! They’ve made my daughter and both her parents feel so welcome and cared for in this setting. All staff are so kind, even when I’ve been ditsy and are always there for any questions I have.

Reply from Becki Keeble, Nursery Manager at Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington)

Thank you for your response. It has been really wonderful seeing the development your daughter has gone through. It's so nice to see her involved in all the activities throughout the day.

Review from Jessica H (Mother of Child) published on 19 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The staff at Blue Sky Day Nursery have taken excellent care of both our children (eldest 2018-2023, youngest 2020 to date). They give daily feedback on how our children are getting on each day, e.g. eating, activities, development etc. The kids are always happy and eager to go (the eldest wishes she was able to still go, despite being of school age) and reluctant to leave, which is a testament to the quality of care provided. They provide opportunities to venture into the local community and give bespoke support for children with additional needs, e.g. specific learning activities, sensory experiences. I would highly recommend the Blue Sky Nursery.

Our 4-year-old loves preschool at Blue Sky Day Nursery! He’s always really happy to go in when I drop him off and he comes home really happy. We always get a good review of his day and he always talks highly of the staff and the other children that attend. He loves it.

Review from B T (Father of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

All staff are good. Most are brilliant. Location is perfect. Only downfalls are no app for updates and due to no industrial bin, dirty nappies are sent home with the children. They were brilliant with transitioning my child up an age group. She didn’t settle at first so they made this a staged transition.

Reply from Becki Keeble, Nursery Manager at Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington)

Thank you for your feedback and we take your feedback on board. It's wonderful now seeing your little one settled with her new friends.

Fantastic nursery. Wonderful with my little boy. He is constantly learning and picking up new information every week. They have also been so accommodating for a recent big change within our home.

Couldn’t ask for better.

Review from E H (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
All the staff are extremely attentive to our child’s/family's needs. My son runs through the door of a morning, he loves all the staff members and I feel they all care for him extremely well.
The food is balanced, the nursery is on the smaller side but that never seems to interfere with activities or safety.

I’m extremely satisfied with the care my son receives.

Reply from Becki Keeble, Nursery Manager at Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington)

Thank you for your feedback. It's lovely seeing your little one so happy on a morning and showing his choices and preferences for activities and play.

Review from K B (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are always friendly, kind and approachable. The ethos that they care for the children as though they are their own is upheld at all times.
Both my girls enjoyed their days at nursery, my oldest has just started school, my youngest daughter comes home and tells me that she's had a lovely time and has enjoyed the activities.

As a parent, I know I can relax knowing my child is having a nice time and being well looked after when she is at nursery.

Reply from Becki Keeble, Nursery Manager at Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington)

Thank you for your feedback. It's been lovely seeing all the family grow and be part of that. We are excited for our next little one to join us.

Review from Holly C (Mother of Child) published on 13 February 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My son attends Blue Sky Pocklington and has for over a year now. He’s always been very well looked after and I’ve always found excellent communication between staff and myself. They also allow adhoc day bookings which is so helpful when you work shifts or varied days. The staff always have a good understanding of how my son’s day has been when I pick him up and we also get written feedback in a little booklet. Security is thorough and I feel my son is very safe in their care. They plan and deliver fun activities which he enjoys and I get to see photos of what he’s been doing. He’s been very happy since attending, has made some friends and enjoys his time there.
