Great nursery. I always get a good handover when I collect my child. Lunches always look amazing. Staff are fantastic and I know my children are in great hands.

My 2 year old son has been at nursery since September 2017 and is really enjoying it. He has developed relationships with carers and other children and has come a long way with his speech. I would recommend this nursery to other families, especially the garden!

We are very happy with Kids Club. We have one child in preschool. Happy with the staff, informative to us and engaging with our child. Our child always looks forward to coming and is happy when we collect. Our other child comes after school once a week and as necessary. He enjoys it and the service
is valued, as busy parents.

Every staff member of Rushden Kids Club Ltd who works there are positive, fun and nurturing. Always pleasant and professional to deal with. My three children, ages 10, 9 and 7 have the most amazing time each day after school. I have noticed that my daughter has become much more confident and takes part
in activities there. Rushden Kids Club Ltd itself is a fun and bright environment. What I also love the most is how independent my children have become, due to the encouragement of the staff at Rushden Kids Club Ltd.

We have been really pleased with our choice to use Kids Club for our daughter before and after school. They have continued to do a great job as this is now our third child to go through them over the years. The children are well looked after and have fun whilst there.

I find that Kids Club Rushden is very helpful. Overall as a parent worker, it has been hard to find a good place where you feel that your child is safe and happy. My daughter since started at Kids Club has made new friends to play with and learn. During the time spent after school, it looks like they
do plenty of activities to develop their skills. The staff are absolutely friendly and I am sure my daughter feels happy and safe with them. Highly recommended.

In the holiday club and before and out of school our focus with the children is fun, they do their learning at school so for us it's down time.

Rushden Kids Club is an excellent site, with a varied scope for younger and older children. A great school holiday club. My son attends the after school club, getting picked up by staff from school and escorted to the kids club is an excellent service as well.

Both my children came from another childminder to Kids Club and they made big strides in their development once they came. Kids Club always make sure the children have fun whilst learning and organise fun days out during the holidays.

Current Review Score: 7.8 (7.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.8 (7.818) out of 10 for Blossoms Day Nursery and The Hive is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.750 for Blossoms Day Nursery and The Hive is calculated as follows: ( (9 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.75

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.068 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blossoms Day Nursery and The Hive is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 = 3

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 73 number of registered child places is 14.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.6 = 0.068

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
