  • Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington), York
Blue Sky Day Nursery opened in the heart of Pocklington in April 2021. Blue Sky Day Nursery is part of a small group of local, family owned and run day nurseries. They first opened in 2005 in Market Weighton and have been going from strength to strength ever since.

Blue Sky promise to care for your child as if they were their own.

This is their ethos and underpins everything they offer you and your child. They believe in working with the parents of children in order to create the best childcare for your child. They are really lucky to have an amazing team of loving, caring, professionals who uphold the promise and more.

Flexibility is key and they understand the difficulties in balancing being a parent with running a home, work and other commitments.

Their aim is to offer childcare that is not only of the highest quality but fits what you need.

They are thrilled to be able to offer their philosophy of “totally flexible care” so as parents you can book the care you need and not be tied into care packages you don’t need.

My son has been in Blue Sky Pocklington since it opened last year. He loves going and has thrived in their care. We will continue to use their after school and breakfast club when my little one starts school.

My little one is so happy at nursery. She wants to come in and is happy when I collect her. Communication from staff is brilliant as they let me know exactly what she’s been doing all morning and how she has been.
Very happy mum and baby.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The most genuine, kind and compassionate staff I've ever come across with the added funny characters which make the whole experience amazing. My daughter loves her days at nursery and is a full-timer and we both consider all the staff extended family. It is the most flexible childcare I know of and
I know my child is not only safe and happy in the care of Blue Sky's she has become a confident and intelligent girl while attending Blue Sky. Thank you so much for everything you all do.

My daughter loves Blue Sky Pocklington and has always been more than happy with her current time there. The staff have always been lovely but professional and always helpful. She always seems to be involved in a variety of activities and never one day is the same.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.811 for Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington) is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 227 Ratings = 4.811
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Sky Day Nursery (Pocklington) is based on 19 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
