My children love this nursery all 4 of them have gone here throughout the years only 2 left and they always run in with a smile on their face. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and spend one on one time with the children throughout the week, also you get an end of day review on how your child's
day has been also there's a secure app you can log in to, to keep updated on their progress. Love it!

My son has been attending since September and so far I can't fault anything, he has come on loads in his development and each week can see massive differences in him. The team are always friendly, polite and helpful, never failing to show a bond with the children and going that extra mile when needed.
Overall a fantastic nursery and I am extremely happy with my decision to go here.

We love this nursery! The staff are so friendly and helpful and fantastic with our daughter. The menu is varied, the food is fresh and she loves so many of the dishes on offer. The indoor and outdoor spaces on offer are brilliant and the activities that they provide are amazing. She especially loves
Music Masters and Outdoor Adventures. The app for the nursery is brilliant for being kept updated and it's lovely to see what she is up to during the day. We would 100% recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has been at Blossoms since she was 6 months old and is now on the road to school. The staff at Blossoms have nurtured her right from the very beginning. She absolutely loves going and talking about all her friends and teachers. The staff are very passionate about the early year's curriculum
and the learning opportunities are astounding. All the extracurricular opportunities have given my daughter such confidence. I cannot thank the staff enough.

Thank you for an amazing review, we will miss your daughter so very much when the time comes for her to go off to school but we know she is going off a confident little girl on her new adventure - love The Blossoms Team

Amazing! This is the word used to describe the nursery! My little one started here and was unsettled because she was used only with me, but with help from the staff, now she loves to start the day with them. We are so pleased with their work and all that they have done with our baby. So big Thank you

When my little girl turned 6 months old I had to go back to work and viewed a whole heap of nurseries. Blossoms were by far the best choice. The staff are fantastic and they put so much effort into activities for the children. My daughter loves it here and I will never move her to another nursery. Shout
out to her key worker, phenomenal lady and amazing with our little one from the start. Thanks so much for all the lovely photos that give us peace of mind to know our daughter is being well looked after and developed.

My daughter started here a while ago and the staff have been amazing with her settling in, she was immediately welcomed and settled in amazingly. The care the staff give along with their teaching is brilliant and I wouldn't ask for any better. It is a home from home environment and that of one I would

My daughter started at blossoms in September. I was so worried about her starting due to her having additional needs and being at home with me for such a long period of time. The staff were amazing and listened to my concerns about her settling in. Since starting the nursery she has come on leaps and
bounds! She didn't take long to settle in and comes out so happy!

Our son has only been with the nursery since September. Blossoms were our first choice after visiting several others in the area. They could offer what we needed as well as loving their approach to learning. We were made to feel very welcome even during the pandemic for our look around. He has settled
in well and we have already received a detailed progress report. They are understanding of his medically and dietary needs and we always get a comprehensive handover on picking him up. We have also signed our baby up to start the nursery in January.

This is such a lovely review, Thank you. This makes us so happy that you are content with what we offer. We love having your little one with us, and are looking forward to January for little sibling to start - love The Blossoms Team

Our little one started here at 10 months old and she loves it. The staff are caring patient and are always so attentive to the child and their needs.
As an only child, our little one has really learnt how to interact with other children. She loves coming home and repeating the songs they've been singing
or telling us all about the books they've read.
There is a wide range of activities and outdoor play is encouraged too. Additional activities are also on offer such as music masters, forest school and French lessons. A lot of the outdoor space has been updated and is now a fantastic area for the children to play in.
The food is excellent and there is a wide variety on the menu.
You also receive regular updates via the Famly app which helps you to see what your little one has been doing throughout the day.
We would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to others.

Reply from Claire Bywater, Director at Blossoms Day Nursery

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so pleased that your daughter is loving her time with us and we are able to support her on her journey through nursery.

I recommend this nursery to anyone in North Birmingham looking for childcare. The staff are friendly, helpful, supportive. They make sure all kids are treated well and according to their own individual needs. Our child has a myriad of food issues and they have taken it in their stride and get on with
it. We also use reusable nappies and they have not even faltered on it for a moment. They just took a few minutes to learn how to do our type and carried on as normal.
These guys are great, the best nursery in North Birmingham I'll wager.

My daughter started when the Nursery opened in September 2016. The Nursery has grown from strength to strength and so has my daughter. From a little baby to a walking talking toddler with indpence and confidence that we have to partly thank the Nursery for. There have been some changes over the past
18 months, but we were kept in the loop by and the changes are always to the Benefit of the children from what I have seen.
The Nursery is really thriving, alongside the daily tapestry updates I receive, I am also impressed with the extra curricular activities and parents workshops on offer.
I can’t wait for my daughter to be able to visit the residential home as I think they do this in the preschool room.
Overall I’d say if your looking for childcare in the area Blossoms is definitely worth a viewing, you will not be disappointed. It has heaps of outdoor space, open spacious rooms and well resourced.
Give them a go. We’ve been thoroughly happy in our time here.

I can't praise this nursery enough; the setting is lovely, the staff are amazing and my 1-year-old twin boys absolutely love it there. It truly is a home from home, a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere and all children seem to be so happy and at ease there. As a bonus, there are rabbits and chickens
in the garden and the staff occasionally take the children out for walks in the fresh air. Fabulous!

My daughter has been attending since September 2016. The staff are so lovely and my daughter is very taken care of. Staff treat her like she is their own. You are always kept up to date on progress, they have helped with potty training, etc. and she is doing amazing. She has been on trips to soft play,
farm and even to a residential home which is fantastic. Would highly recommend.

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.
