Thank you so much for looking after, caring, teaching and guiding B. He has really enjoyed his time here. It is so amazing to see him grow and thats down to all you guys. I cant thank you all enough for the love and dedication youve shown my son. B has grown so much over the last 18 months. Hes confidence is through the roof, he is more inquisitive, open minded and only ever so slightly more crazy. I really dont know how I will ever thank you all for all the love and care you have shown B over the last 2 years. You are all truly amazing and exceptional people and will be forever in

I highly disagree with the overcharges for being late by a couple of minutes. Some members of staff are rude. When talking about my child there has been no improvements. I recommend other nurseries than bluebirds
