Blue Orkids @ Queens Park Community Nursery provides children with the support and care they need to develop skills and grow in confidence.

Children are supported by trained staff who inspire and motivate children as they learn through play.   

Children have lots of fun developing social skills and learning about the world. At their nursery, children thrive in a setting where nature is part of everyday learning.

With plenty of garden space to run, play, and discover, outdoor areas are designed to spark curiosity and encourage exploration. From digging in the soil and planting flowers to spotting bugs and watching the seasons change, the garden is a living classroom where imagination grows.

They believe fresh air and green spaces are essential for healthy development, so they make the most of every sunny day outside. Whether it's messy play in the mud kitchen, story time under the trees, or quiet moments observing nature, their gardens provide a safe, stimulating environment for children to connect with the world around them.

They also place a strong focus on healthy eating. Meals and snacks are freshly prepared, balanced, and designed with young children's nutritional needs in mind. From wholesome breakfasts to energizing lunches and healthy treats, they ensure every child gets the nourishment they need to thrive.

Together, their garden spaces and nutritious food offerings support happy, healthy, and active early years.

Review from L H (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 2 year old has settled in really well into the nursery. Staff have taken care to get to know her well and communicate effectively with us as parents. My daughter is happy to go to nursery and enjoys a range of indoor and outdoor activities including: sorting different colour items, stories and songs,
creative crafts, bikes, and the home corner. Staff have supported her to develop and practice skills such as using the pedals on the bike. The learning environment creates a lovely welcoming vibe for children to thrive and continues to be developed. Staff have supported my daughter to continue to use the toilet successfully. Staff are friendly and professional. The garden has a range of exciting equipment to promote play and develop gross motor skills.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
So far, I am really happy with the way the staff have been handling my child and making him feel comfortable, also for me as well, as I was struggling with a clingy child. I have seen a massive change in him where he is happy to be around people.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.625) out of 10 for Blue Orkids @ Queens Park Community Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 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 4.725 for Blue Orkids @ Queens Park Community Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.725
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blue Orkids @ Queens Park Community Nursery is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10, which has been reached with 16 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.
