I've been meaning to leave a review for a while, but I just want to say that Blessings Nursery Fagley has truly been a blessing. From the moment my little one started in September, I’ve felt completely reassured sending him there. The staff are so caring, genuinely lovely, and handle him with such kindness. He absolutely loves going to Nursery and comes home so happy. Huge thank you to all. Me and my husband both really appreciate it.

I am a previous staff member who worked at blessings. It's great that they have a variety of resources and materials to help children of different ages learn and grow. Faizal and Sam were very helpful and have been there whenever we needed guidance. Staff create a warm, welcoming environment and the children have fun and enjoy their sessions. Overall, I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their child. The staff are wonderful, the facilities are top-notch, and the children always seem to have a great time. If you're looking for a great place to send your child, this is definitely it!

Amazing nursery, it has all the facilities a nursery should have. The staff are so welcoming and caring towards the children. You will always see the children walking out with a big smile on their faces. The rooms are spacious and very colourful which makes it welcoming for the children.

Excellent service provided by all staff. A positive outlook in caring for young children. Activities are based on children’s interest but also extend their learning through challenges and taking different approaches. Nursery hours are flexible and are always accommodating to parents needs. Would highly recommend!

Don’t normally write reviews however the lack of professionalism at this place is diabolical! Wouldn’t even rate it 1 star TBH! Management needs to learn about people skills and how to speak to individuals.
