September 12, 2024 at 10:36 amThe management is approachable and welcoming and runs the childcare centre very collaboratively with parents to make sure decisions are open and well informed.
The facilities are peaceful and we adore the feeling of being amongst the wildlife, despite its urban placement. So much time and money have been put into redecorating recently and into developing new toys and outdoor apparatus to assistance the kids’s development.
The food they have is balanced and varied and I would happily eat their menu every day too if I could!
My youngest is now in his last year and skips happily in every day and consistently leaves with a big smile on his face – I couldn’t ask for any more. We have had two kids go through this fantastic childcare centre and couldn’t be happier with the care they have both had.
The team are positive, inclusive, imaginative, and genuinely care about the kids they interact with each and every day.

September 28, 2024 at 11:11 pmTeam are so attentive and attentive and you can see they delight in and have a passion working with kids.
My son absolutely loves going there and consistently says he is cheerful when leaving the childcare centre.
They keep you informed about the childcare centre going on at all times. Absolutely remarkable childcare centre couldn’t suggest more highly.

October 12, 2024 at 4:06 pmOur son absolutely loves going to the barn and we will not hesitate to send our daughter, once she is ready. Consistently lots of activities going on and the outdoor space is lovely. A big thank you to all the team. Outstanding childcare centre.

October 22, 2024 at 2:53 ammy kid really enjoys attending the childcare centre and I am very cheerful with the team and the care he receives! Suggest this childcare centre! Overall I have no concerns regarding my kid attending the childcare centre!

November 6, 2024 at 5:06 pmShe found it difficult to settle at first due to only attending once a week. This was hard on us all, but the team went out of their way to help her and make her sense comfortable, offering her extra settle in time. The regular updates from her keyworker has really reassured me as a nervous parent and the vibe is extremely welcoming and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. Team really go out of their way to build positive relationships with parents via the app during the day and a nice debrief of your kid’s day on pick up! Our now 16 month old daughter confidently goes into childcare centre with just a “ta ta” to mummy and daddy. This is due to the time, patience and empathy the team in Bluebell Barn have all shown her! Thanks guys! Bluebell Barn Kids’s Childcare centre has been incredible for our daughter.

November 22, 2024 at 5:45 pmHe loves it there. He gets so cheerful waiting to go in in the morning. When I pick him up, he’s consistently had a excellent time playing with his friends and doing various activities. They are brave enough to playtime with messy time activities that I’m not brave enough to do at home. My eldest went there from 8 months to 4 years and again loved it. The team are incredible with the kids and make the parents sense welcome and involved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bluebell nurseries and I have done on numerous occasions to friends. Thank you to the Bluebell Barn team. My youngest is currently at Bluebell Barn and joined just before his first birthday and he’s now 15 months old.

December 3, 2024 at 2:49 amThe team looking after her are so welcoming and welcoming and she is consistently itching to get in there in the mornings. I’ve never had any worries about leaving her. She’s consistently taking part in lots of activities and being at childcare centre has really helped develop a set routine for her. She is consistently so cheerful and content when I collect her after a full day and they consistently take the time to talk you through her day. My daughter has been at Bluebell since she was 8 months old and I couldn’t suggest it highly enough.

December 7, 2024 at 5:32 amThe team are exceptional and deserve extra recognition for everything they do, especially with the additional challenges this year has brought! My little boy has been at the childcare centre for two years and is consistently picked up with a big smile on his face.

December 21, 2024 at 8:10 amWe had several local visits booked to scope out the best place for our Daughter. I loved Bluebell Barn so much on our first visit and with my Daughter’s first taster session, that I cancelled all other childcare centre viewings. I had no doubt this is the place and the people I wanted to care for my kid. I have been 100% cheerful ever since she has started. The team are so welcoming and efficient. They update and communicate with us when needed to and consistently update the parent portal so we can see all the activities she gets up to during the day. Would 100% suggest Bluebell Barn to anyone. As a mother, it is a somewhat daunting journey finding a childcare centre to care for your kid.

Thank you all so much for all that you do and have done! My son has attended Bluebell Barn from the age of two and has developed and grown so much since being there!
My son was very much an emotional kid when he first started at the childcare centre, but the team were very quick to give him a cuddle and make him sense secure and welcomed – they were also consistently so understanding and welcomed our constant phone calls for our own reassurance!
It’s so lovely having constant updates and photos and reports back via the app – the photos of what he’s been up to throughout his day and his cheerful little face is excellent to see.
My son is fed so well when he is at childcare centre, almost definitely better than he is when at home – the variety and foods they offer the kids have improved my son’s willingness to try new foods and have encouraged him to eat better at home.
Honestly, Bluebell Barn has been a Godsend – I don’t have to worry about organising anything as they do it all!

January 15, 2025 at 4:47 pmHe absolutely loves going. The team are all incredible and were remarkable from the very start. All the team are consistently polite, welcoming and supportive and I couldn’t wish for my son to be at a better childcare centre. Thank you. My son attends Bluebell Barn Kids’s Childcare centre.

January 18, 2025 at 9:41 amAll of the team have been incredible and that shows in the utter excitement she has when she knows she is going to childcare centre, we can’t even have breakfast at home, she just wants to get there. There is such a variety of activities and playtime opportunities for her indoors and outdoors. My daughter is allergic to soya and dairy and the childcare centre have been remarkable in providing all of her food and milk and I have never had to worry about what she is eating. I highly suggest this childcare centre to anyone who is looking for a secure, enjoyable, cheerful setting for their kid to thrive in. My daughter has attended Bluebell Barn Childcare centre for the last 18 months and over that time the team have only ever been expert, approachable and inviting.
Finley Ellis
February 7, 2025 at 12:35 pmWe could not be happier with how well he has settled in. He only attends two days a week but he absolutely loves it. He squeals with excitement when we arrive at childcare centre with him and he comes out at the end of the day with the biggest smile on his face.
Starting during the pandemic has meant we’ve not got to see him in action as much as we’d like but it’s nice to have received a few photos and a video and the team are consistently lovely when we hand him over or collect him. It is clear that they know his personality so well already and we sense that he is in secure hands.
We are so so pleased that we picked Bluebell Barn for him, it was the perfect choice. Our son joined the baby room at Bluebell Barn Kids’s Childcare centre in September at just 11 months old.

February 11, 2025 at 6:47 pmMy kids adore them which is all we care about.
I’d suggest this childcare centre to anyone. The setting is exceptional and we sense lucky to have been able to have both kids attend. Both of my kids have been to this childcare centre and even though they are completely different kids (and took different periods of time to settle in), they both adore it.
My eldest attended from the age of 11months to 4.5 years and my youngest (2.5) is currently in the toddler room.
The team are remarkable and it’s lovely that we knew so many of them the second time around.

February 17, 2025 at 9:50 amI work full time. It is a excellent reassurance to me that my little boy is not only cheerful to see the fantastic girls in Tigers every morning but that he is excited for all the enjoyable activities they have planned for him. They cater and care for his individual needs and consistently keep me fully updated on every aspect of his care. Every evening he runs out to meet me with a big smile on his face. I am a key worker and I particularly praise them for going far beyond what was asked from them during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. My son has been at Bluebell Barn since he was 8 months old he is now 2.

March 3, 2025 at 12:20 pmAll the team are incredible, so patient, compassionate and understanding. Both my kids adore going, consistently sense cheerful and secure and consistently have the best time! My daughter started at 9 months and we both had a bit of separation anxiety as we’d never really been apart but she settled so quickly and the team were incredible! Now have a 3 1/2-year-old and an 18-month-old who both absolutely adore going and consistently come out cheerful after having a excellent day! Such a remarkable childcare centre!
Toby Clarke
April 7, 2025 at 6:36 amShe has consistently been well cared for and looked after. She’s quite a shy and sensitive kid when away from home and all the team have been remarkable at building positive relationships with her and us and she is starting to show a more confident side. Their hard work has really prepared her for her next step. You really sense that the team know your kid and to me that’s the most important thing.
As a working family we also adore that there’s nothing to worry about, nappies, sun cream, food is all provided and it’s just one less thing to worry about in the mornings!
Our son will start in September and we’re sure that he will have just as exceptional an journey here too. Thank you all. My daughter has been at Bluebell Barn Kids’s Childcare centre since she was 1 and is just about to start her next step up to Primary School and we can’t suggest it highly enough.

April 24, 2025 at 2:09 pmI found all the team so welcoming in the beginning, which really made me sense at ease during what can be such a stressful time. I found them all very approachable, especially her key worker at the time and also another member of team. I also felt very supported by the management too, especially one of them. Now that my daughter has moved up to Tigers, I can’t thank all the team enough for all their kindness and creativity that they bring to her journey at childcare centre. Five members of team to name a few are absolutely exceptional. I am so proud of how far my daughter has come, and it is largely thanks to you all. The activities and equipment available to the kids are absolutely exceptional and are consistently maintained and updated regularly. So I would definitely suggest this place as a top class childcare centre. Our daughter now two and a half has attended Bluebell Barn Kids’s Childcare centre since she was eleven months old and has literally loved every day of it.

June 27, 2025 at 4:40 pmThe team have all been so lovely and know him and us well even with him only going one day a week. The facilities are excellent, especially the garden! Adore the fact we had a parent’s evening, which helps us to sense very involved! My little boy has been going to Bluebell Barn Kids’s Childcare centre for about 6 months now, and absolutely loves it, never had any tears at the door (so far!).
Phoenix Mayer
July 2, 2025 at 5:34 amAll three of my girls have been well looked after, learnt a lot and had an opportunity to do so much discovering through playtime. The facilities are excellent and I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest the childcare centre to others. My eldest two kids went to Bluebell Barn some years ago and there was never any doubt that my youngest would attend from this year as well.
