Inspector highlights
Verbatim quotes recorded in the Ofsted inspection
"Parents report how exceptionally well informed they are about their children's learning and provide very positive comments about their children's experiences at the nursery."
"They say that practitioners are approachable and always have time for them."
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive tailored support to help them join in with activities and make progress in their learning. Additional funding is used effectively to meet children's needs and reduce any differences in their learning. Practitioners have a deep understanding of what each child can already do and what they need to learn next. They work closely with parents and other professionals to make sure that children receive the support they need to help them be successful learners.
Children explore the forest school, learning about nature and how to handle insects carefully. They show great tenacity as they practise climbing up the tree and swinging from a low branch, learning how to come back down safely under guidance.
Definitely the best nursery in Wisbech. Emma, Lisa and the Team are absolutely amazing. So caring and thoughtful. And the time they spend around developing children is invaluable. Thank you 🙌

Read on Googlewe are so glad we chose blackberries, and are really happy with the care and support our child receives. The staff are always friendly, and they’ve created such a lovely environment for the children. Our child settled in faster than we expected, which gave us a lot of reassurance as parents. It’s clear the team puts a lot of effort into making every child feel comfortable, included and cared for. We also really appreciate the regular updates through the parent app, as it’s great to see what our child has been doing throughout the day and keeps communication really easy. Thank you to the whole team for everything you do — we’re so glad we chose blackberries.
