My 4-year-old granddaughter has attended Blossoms Day Nursery for the past two years on a daily basis. She has health conditions which the nursery has accommodated. I regularly interact with all the staff and they are wonderful. The play activities are fun - but also educational. It is a very safe environment,
clean and well-managed. My granddaughter has herself "blossomed" since attending this nursery and has many friends, of all cultures and goes to parties galore! I can happily recommend Blossoms Day Nursery.

My son attended Blossoms about 6 months ago and we are so happy with how much he has come on, he always wakes up in the mornings so excited to start his day and to see all of his friends and carers which he always talks about at home.
The staff have been lovely and so reassuring at times when I have
needed it.
Thank you.

All Blossoms staff are extremely friendly yet professional and exceptionally communicative when discussing your child on collection.
My children absolutely adore coming to this setting and seeing the nursery as their second home. It is set perfectly as a home-from-home environment with class pets in
each room that the children all get involved in helping out with.
As well as play they also learn foreign languages and have sports lessons that my 3-year-old is always keen to join in with.
With a different subject of discussion each week my children are stimulated and consistently eager to learn at nursery and share about at home.

Reply from Claire Bywater, Director at Blossoms Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind comments.
At Blossoms we pride ourselves in providing experiences that support the children to become keen learners.
It's lovely to hear that your children love to share these experiences with you at home.

I was really nervous to send my daughter to nursery so young but the Blossoms staff made the transition for me and my daughter so easy. I know that when my daughter goes to nursery she is well looked after and they put on activities to help and develop her learning/ skills.
My daughter has been well
looked after and settled in really well into Blossoms. All the staff are lovely and my daughter enjoys going to nursery and interacting with all the staff and other children. All the staff keep parents well informed regarding their child/children during the day which for me, helps me to get through the day at work. Would 100% recommend Blossoms to parents.

My son attends this nursery and has been going since September 2021. I'm so glad I chose this nursery for him, he settled in really well. The staff are amazing and hardworking and the nursery is safe and clean. If I could keep my son there forever I would. He really enjoys going. One staff member is
amazing, as are the rest of them. If you are looking for a nursery then I would recommend Blossoms. Thank you, Blossoms, for your hard work and dedication.

I would definitely recommend Blossoms Day Nursery to any parents looking for a nursery for their little ones. My little girl started in August 2022. The staff are lovely, kind and really reassuring. My little one would cry every morning for a few months and to finally get her putting her arms out and
smiling to the staff is one of the best feelings, especially as a first-time mom, and to have that reassurance that she enjoys nursery and feels comfortable with the staff. The nursery also use an app which the staff upload pictures of the children enjoying different activities and also observations on your child daily. The chef is great and cooks all homemade meals for the children with a choice of different foods offered.

Nursery is very good and very close to where I live. Staff are lovely but when I pick my child up he isn't clean, either his nose is runny or food on his face which has happened a few times, other than that he is happy.

Lovely nursery, really caring staff, always put the children's needs first. Sports teachers come to the nursery twice a week which is lovely. Spend lots of time outdoors, so not just stuck in a room all day, children are always doing fun activities.

The nursery is a fantastic setting for my child, it is lovely to see how much he has grown in confidence since he started at Blossoms Day Nursery. They plan and organise amazing, creative activities each week linked to specific events such as Chinese New Year or Winnie the Pooh Day. The staff are friendly,
welcoming and always listen to parents on the door. They plan some lovely themed evenings for parents and their children such as pumpkin soup and sparkler nights. This was so lovely to bring the community together. As you walk into the nursery you instantly feel the calm and nurtured due to the calming/nutrias toys and equipment.

The nursery, on the whole, not just one month, the whole time my son has been going has been amazing. The staff are welcoming, friendly and always smiling. My son loves it there, he has learnt and progressed the whole time he has been there and would recommend it over any other nursery. It has great
indoor and out facilities for children and they do all sorts with them, playing, singing, reading and garden activities. There is so much they do with them, it's brilliant!

Friendly polite and helpful staff. They need deep cleaning in every room after every session.

Reply from Claire Bywater, Director at Blossoms Day Nursery

Thank you for your kind comments about our staff team, however I don't understand why the low rating has then been given against them.
We pride ourselves massively on safeguarding, teaching and learning (activities, resources, equipment). We plough lots of funding into this area and cover safeguarding every month in depth at our meetings, not to mention 3 external training days a year and having 3 onsite DSL's. We have maintained our cleaner at nursery for a long time and our cook has been with us for many years, providing healthy, home cooked meals in line with early years wellbeing agency guidance. However, with your review in mind we will strive to give you the experience at Blossoms we give all of our families.

Our son loves coming to Blossoms. His confidence has come on so much since joining. He eats so well and they do lots of hands-on activities each day, which he loves! They have an app they upload pictures on so you can see everything they've been up to. Such a lovely team of staff too and always helpful
and friendly. I highly recommend Blossoms to anyone looking for a nursery for their little one!

My daughter has been attending Blossoms for over a year now and she has done amazing and that's all down to Blossoms. My daughter absolutely loves going to nursery and seeing all her friends. To say I was very anxious about her first starting nursery, especially as a first-time parent. Now I look back
and think, why was I so scared. From day one she has loved nursery and they have been amazing with her. They are always keeping parents up to date by using the app. I love how she has come on, especially her speech and how she is with other children. Every day she comes out with a smile and tells me all about her day. She is very happy here and it's the best decision I made to send her to Blossoms while I'm at work. The staff work so hard and they all put smiles on their little faces and make them happy, which is all a parent needs.

My daughter, who has complex health needs, has attended Blossoms Nursery for two years, starting from the baby room. I found the nursery setting, staff, activities and family events exceptional. The staff are excellent at communicating with parents, the food is home-cooked (my daughter eats better at
nursery than at home!), and the activities provided for the children are well thought out. My daughter's health needs have been supported, with nothing being too much for the staff to undertake. In addition, the nursery puts on family activities, such as pumpkin soup and sparklers night at Halloween, which is a great way to engage the whole family and teach sparkler safety. I would recommend Blossoms Nursery to anyone.

My son has been attending Blossoms for a year now and loves it. As my son is my rainbow baby the thought of him going to Nursery was very daunting and the thought of him not being in my care was frightening, but from day one I felt very comfortable and at ease with Blossoms and was always reassured.
I have seen such a development in my son and could not thank Blossoms enough. They have a lot of events and do a variety of different activities which my son loves his music and especially his PE lessons. The food is excellent and varied, and I have no worries when he is at nursery. Blossoms always keep parents informed of what our children are doing on the Famly App with pictures which I love seeing. They have nice open spacious rooms which are well resourced with a lovely outdoor garden. The staff are amazing and are always friendly, caring and helpful. I could not have wished for a better Nursery for my son and would highly recommend Blossoms. You will not be disappointed.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.086)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.086) out of 10 for Blossoms Day Nursery 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.821 for Blossoms Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.821

  • 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 4.265 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blossoms Day Nursery is based on 7 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7

    • 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 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.565

  • 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.
