How We Work
At Bluebell nursery, we are all about creating a cosy and friendly atmosphere to ensure that the children feel safe, secure and happy. We believe that this is the key to the children thriving and developing. We have bilingual staff that can speak English, Russian, Polish and Latvian. This ensures that the children who speak another language than English can have a smooth transition to speaking English and comfort that they can communicate in their home language.We are a child led nursery, which means we follow the children's interests and create activities that suit them. In addition, we have some general activities that correspond with our weekly themes.
OUR MISSION
Unique and Valuable
We believe that children thrive in an environment which values their own uniqueness, while providing support and opportunities to grow emotionally, socially and creatively. By building on each child’s strengths, interests and curiosities, we guide each child to explore the world around them as well as develop new abilities and form close relationships.

Hello my name is Joanna Burge, I am a nursery practitioner at Bluebell nursery and pre-School, and I’ve been with the company for 10 years. I hold a level three diploma for the children and young peoples workforce. I have completed a vast array of training, some of which include paediatric, first-aid, managing difficult behaviour, safeguarding etc. Some of my hobbies include sewing, baking, cooking, and Fish keeping. The parts I enjoy most about working with children are observing the child being their own authentic self, And that I am a small part in helping them develop, grow, learn and achieve the best them they can be, and share my expertise. With other people, I feel having a strong parent/carer relationships has allowed me to provide the highest support and care for the children.
