October 8, 2020 at 12:00 amThe manager was so lovely and welcoming and completely put us at ease due to the current pandemic. The nursery feels like a home from home, and my son has settled in really well. The menus are like a 5-star hotel, my son is keen to tell me what he’s tried that day. All the staff are wonderful; we’re so glad we chose Fernhurst Court.

June 25, 2021 at 12:00 amMy 4-year-old son started here a year ago after moving into the area. He was welcomed warmly and settled in quickly. When visiting the nursery it was beautifully decorated and had so many amazing activities for the kids to get dug into. They have a large outdoor area with a play area and slides, my son loves his time playing outside. The nursery staff are polite and friendly and will always do their best to assist you should you have any queries. My son speaks so nicely of them and has bonded with them well. I couldn’t think of a better nursery for my son. I’m hoping my daughter will attend soon when she is old enough. 100% recommend.

June 25, 2021 at 12:00 amI took my son to this nursery after he would not settle and was showing aggressive behavior at a previous nursery. The staff at the nursery have been amazing. They sat down and looked at him as an individual and met his needs. They are more like a family and he has become such a happy clever little boy. I cannot thank them enough and will be very sad to see him leave, as he now has the confidence and skills he needs to start his school life. I cannot emphasize enough the care which this nursery and staff have shown thank you so much.

June 25, 2021 at 12:00 amI can not recommend this place enough. The staff has been paramount to my son’s social, physical, and mental development. My son is so happy, his speech is impeccable and he is flourishing so well from being here full time. The staff are so compassionate and really driven to create the best environment for the children and babies, I can’t thank them enough. When there have been incidents, I have been alerted straight away and strategies were implemented straight away. The staff communication is really good and I know my son is kept safe and involved! The nursery itself is in such a beautiful setting and this allows for a lot of outdoor play and natural education that I really love for my son to participate in. My son has been in the baby’s room, currently in the toddlers, and he will be attending pre-school. When I am working, the relief I feel that he is in safe, courteous, and in professional hands is second to none. Thank you to all of you for your dedication.

June 25, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my children attend Fernhurst Court Nursery in Blackburn and have been in the baby’s room/toddler room and pre-school room. (Current ages 2&3). Staff are fantastic here, making the children feel at ease when handing over to them. Outdoor provision is amazing and the nursery utilises this space as much as possible. The manager is very professional, welcoming, and friendly and I can see the nursery is well run. I have recommended this nursery to numerous people now.

June 25, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been going to Fernhurst since being a baby. She is now in her last two months. The progress she has made since attending is highly significant I know she will be ready for school. The staff are fantastic and are always so friendly and welcoming. I feel the nursery is going from strength to strength. Thank you. Would highly recommend.

June 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little one is extremely shy and finds it hard to settle around new people. Fernhurst were extremely accommodating and helpful in putting my mind at ease and helping my little one transition into nursery life. She loves nursery life now; the staff know her and always keep me up to date with how she’s getting on; every day she’s involved in new activities and has really come on socially. A big thank you to all the staff in the toddler room. I’d recommend this nursery to anyone, especially to anyone whose little one struggles to settle around new people.

June 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child has loved being at nursery for the past two years. All the staff are great and give feedback every day. I could not ask staff to do more. I think a great level of care is taken to ensure my child has had the best start to his educational journey.

June 28, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loves coming to Fernhurst Nursery and also loves the staff in his room (Toddlers), he now calls some of the staff as his ‘best friends’. I switched nurseries for him at the beginning of the pandemic and there have never been any issues, he settled in so well which makes me feel at ease. All the staff from management, nursery nurses to the admin staff are very friendly and helpful. I also like the variety of meals they provide for the children. I would definitely recommend this nursery!

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amMy little girl has been at Fernhurst Court for over 3 years and loves it. The way the staff dealt with the Pandemic has been brilliant! The staff take extra precautions to make sure they, the venue and our children are safe. The outdoor facilitates are brilliant and the children and staff get as much outdoor play as they can (weather permitting). I am so surprised at the excitement my child has to go to preschool – she asks to go at weekends! The meals they get are of a variety, you are updated with these and activities via the app. Any minor issues I have expressed concerns have been dealt with quickly and professionally. She loves the staff and you can tell the staff invest their time in the children with the way I have seen my child grow and develop – the way she has progressed is brilliant and I feel she will have a great start in primary! Really great nursery – would recommend always!

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter attends Fernhurst Court Nursery and she loves it. We have never had any problems dropping her off and she runs out of nursery every night full of stories of what she has been doing all day. All of the staff are lovely and really caring. I have never worried about leaving my daughter at nursery and in my opinion, this is the most important thing. I feel very well informed and if I ever need to speak to the staff there is always someone available.

July 7, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has been coming here since he was 10 months old and he really loves it. The staff are so caring and easy to talk to, they were happy to cater for his vegetarian diet and keep me posted of his progress. They will ring me straight away if they have any concerns about him, or they want to check something with me. I know he is in safe hands. My little boy loves telling us about all the things he gets up to at nursery and looks forward to going. I picked this nursery also because of the excellent outdoor facilities which the staff really make the most of.

July 8, 2021 at 12:00 amMy children started at Fernhurst in March 2021 after being out of their previous setting for a full 12 months. I was extremely apprehensive about this but the staff have really accommodated them, made them feel settled and welcome and completely settled their nerves. I can see a huge change in them both since starting at Fernhurst, it is clear that a lot of time and care is invested into them both (one in the baby room and one in pre-school). The staff are lovely and friendly and are always happy to answer any questions. Although we are still in the midst of a pandemic, I feel confident and comfortable sending my children to this setting, knowing staff are doing all they can to keep them safe. Thank you all for all your hard work.

November 19, 2021 at 12:00 amCan go in and pick my daughter up from inside and see how she interacts with other children. Felt like she had been hidden away for all these months. Staff are amazing and really friendly gives me great peace of mind my daughter is being looked after by some of the best

November 19, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my daughters thoroughly enjoy their time at nursery. I just feel there is a lack of communication at times with parents, don’t always find out about “days”, although recently it’s been better, and have been aware of comic relief, etc.
The app doesn’t always have all the details on but in honesty, I’d rather my children had the time with them than the staff writing it up.
Staff are always happy to accommodate any changes needed. It’s been a huge help knowing my girls are happy.

November 19, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child has really settled into nursery, she loves it, staff are brilliant with her. I would just like to know what activities they are doing and what learning she is doing each week, or monthly topics.

November 22, 2021 at 12:00 amOur little girl attends nursery since April and absolutely loves being there. Girls are taking great care of our little one. Three members of staff, in particular, have been amazing all this time and our girl totally loves them.

November 23, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has enjoyed attending Fernhurst Court since she was 6 months old on a full time basis.
The staff are just amazing with the children, the staff that have looked after my daughter personally are amazing it would be impossible to pick just one. The amount of food that my child receives now including a “high tea” is questionable as now my daughter eats a meal at home on top of the 3 she receives throughout the day.
Due to previous covid restrictions we have not been able to go into nursery for a while. Just recently they offered an open day where existing parents could go in and have a look around. This was great, not only to see what investment the latest owners have put into nursery but also to see where our daughter spends her days in pre-school. This was a very positive move for me and my partner.
I love the parent app, it makes all the difference for me as a mother, I think this is important when you leave your child all day in someone else’s care.
