This nursery is amazing, both my girls have attended here and with a 5 year age gap between them the staff have been so amazing and supportive both times around. The nursery is lovely, clean and has such a cosy feel to it. My little one - who currently still attends is making her transition to the bigger preschool room, Kira who is the nursery manager has been so helpful and understanding she takes the time to sit down and talk to you and explain and worries or concerns you have, and she has done everything she can to make the transition as smooth as ever!! I also want to highlight how amazing the room lead team are Amie, Sharn and Frankie are behind you every step of the way, no question is too much and they are always willing to engage and help when they can! If you are looking for a nursery to watch your child grow and develop with a big smile on their face then Bluebells is a must! They’ve been like a second family from day one! Well done to everyone at Bluebells keep up your amazing hard work :)
