About Us
We believe in working with the parents of our children to create the best childcare for your child. We are lucky to have an amazing team of loving, caring, professionals who uphold the promise and more.
Flexibility is key and as we understand the difficulties in balancing being a parent with running a home, work, and other commitments.
Our aim is to offer childcare that is not only of the highest quality but fits what you need.
We are thrilled to be able to offer our philosophy of “totally flexible care” so as parents you can book the care you need and not be tied into care packages you don’t need. Children have access to a wide variety of toys, games and activities which they have free access to throughout the day.
The Blue Sky Day Nursery® is open 51 weeks of the year and offers care for children from 6 weeks until they start school.
Our Ethos
The Blue Sky promise is “We Promise To Care For Your Child As We Would Our Own”, this promise is at the center of our beliefs and every staff member upholds this promise.
It is Blue Sky’s aim to provide the best possible care for every child who spends time with us. The nursery is bright and cheerful, and the staff are dedicated to ensuring that each child settles well so they can enjoy their time with us.
We strongly believe in working in partnership with parents, in order to achieve this, we do our best to share information about their child’s day, what they have enjoyed and achieved.
We are now proud to offer parents totally flexible childcare. We can arrange your child’s care with us around your needs to help make life a little less complicated for you, these sessions can be set weekly or as flexible as you want.

Learn More About Blue Sky
Meet Our Team
We have an amazing team here at Blue Sky. It is important to us that our parents are comfortable with our team, and feel you should know more about our team and about the different roles.
Learn About Our Curriculum
At Blue Sky have developed our own curriculum based on the EYFS curriculum. The EYFS is a method for interacting with the children whilst watching them play to develop an understanding of what the children enjoy playing with, can do and might like to learn next. This follows our ethos of how children should learn in an early years setting.
See What We Are Eating
Here at Blue Sky we believe that a Healthy child is a happy child. To help in their continuous development we aim to provide food based on the eat well plate.

Exclusions for Illness
We believe that it is important to keep the children in our care safe and healthy; for this reason we have a strict exclusion policy for illnesses.
Care and Education
At Blue Sky we follow the national curriculum for learning and development, this is called The Early Years Foundation Stage. The EYFS is a method for interacting with the children whilst watching them play to develop an understanding of what the children enjoy playing with, can do and might like to learn next.
This information is then used to come up with exciting ideas for activities the children can take part in to move onto the next step of their learning journey.
At Blue Sky we take lots of photos of the children which can go onto our Facebook page, permissions allowing, so if you have a free five minutes you can browse our page and catch up with what activities your child may be involved in. We also use these photographs to track your child’s progress and development and helping us to determine their ‘next steps’.
Equal Opportunities
Here at Blue Sky we believe every child should be treated as an individual and have no hesitation in welcoming children from any walk of life into our ‘family’.
We have a team that we believe is second to none, who possess a wide range of qualifications and experiences in supporting children with special needs, whether those needs are educational, behavioural or dietary.
We have had many children who didn’t speak English as a first language, who had physical disabilities or who needed support with their development in a particular area, whom we have watched blossom into happy, self- confident young people during their time with us.
We are always more than happy to work alongside parents and other outside agencies in order to put the individual child’s needs first.
We have worked closely with agencies such as Banardos, Portage and the Children’s Center and always welcome any help or advice we can get from other professionals.
