My little boy started Blossoms in September 2016. He wasn't meant to start nursery at an early age - he was 29 months but I needed some routine of finding a new job. We had a look around and on the open day I loved it from the gardens and the people I saw on the open day, they were so helpful and friendly.
So we decided to put my son into nursery. He took 2 months to finally settle but I would never look back. He has enjoyed from being a Little Willow to a Cherry and now a Magnolia. He has developed so much and I can see a big difference.
The girls are approachable and deal with all questions or will always sort any issues out. They are a very happy bunch and so welcoming. My son is a different child moving into preschool and has too much confidence and had learnt so much, he loves the outings. Couldn't thank you enough.

After viewing a lot of nurseries in and around Great Barr. I came out of every one thinking somewhat, this place isn't right. Then Blossoms opened, we went to their first open day and immediately knew it was the best nursery around.
The managing staff have a sheer love and passion for childcare. My
son was one of the first children at Blossoms and my gosh, have we seen it grow from strength to strength. The nursery which was once a doctors is now a lovely modern warm home from home environment. Staff are very good and excellent at planning around the EYFS. I just LOVE Tapestry and seeing how my son has come so far in his learning, all ready for school! He's been in three rooms - Cherries, Tiger Lillies and Magnolias. All have provided wonderful learning opportunities and all have encouraged his independence and especially his listening skills all ready for the big wide world ahead! One in, one out, as they say as his baby brother is starting September. Just hoping it's consistent in the baby room then I can say it is wonderful throughout!

I'm very pleased with this nursery after a previous bad experience (with another one).
Friendly staff, clean and beautifully decorated rooms, a diversity of activities for kids.
My son loves to spend time here and I'm absolutely amazed and happy with his positive nursery related development so far.
Moreover,
I'd like to point out that I appreciate the way they cook for the kids - fresh, nutritious food, without fat or sugar excess.

I have three year old twins who started at Blossoms the beginning of last year. I genuinely can't recommend the place enough. The environment they provide is beautiful, with their outdoor play areas, to the animal pens, to the indoor space, my twins love going and telling me about their day. The staff
are hardworking and caring and they show a genuine interest in every child. I was dubious as most parents would be about placing my child into nursery, but the staff at Blossoms made the transition so much easier. They're kind, friendly and most of all loving and I can't thank them enough for what they do!
So if you're thinking about placing your child/children into nursery, Blossoms is the place to be!

My daughter started just after her 1st birthday in the baby room. She has since moved to an older room and loves it. The team are so caring and friendly and listen to any concerns.

My son started this nursery in April 2018, it was a huge change for him and I was very stressed. Blossoms Nursery turned out to be wonderful. Staff are so understanding and patient, and managers very helpful and lovely. My son loves to go to this nursery and he’s sad when he stays at home. I recommend
this nursery with all responsibility to each parent because I see how the nursery affects my son positively.

I have already bought one child through the nursery system, so this is not my first rodeo. Blossoms is among the best we've found, and certainly the best we could find in North Birmingham. Staff are generally both delightful and competent, routines, updates, baby-learning are all good. Management
are highly competent and always on top of everything. The deputy manager is wonderful.
Our baby has been pretty ill due to reflux, and we have left her at the nursery in some pretty poor states while we get some sleep. They have just taken her and coped, without complaint, while she pukes and cries and moans for eight hours. Few other nurseries would do it, and I'm massively grateful to them.
I'll list a few quibbles - the outside space is lovely but already looks to be suffering from a lack of routine maintenance. It's too warm in the baby room - 24 degrees. Staff can be forgetful of dummies, bottles, trousers, etc; so nothing to cause parents any real concerns.

My daughter recently started at Blossoms Day Nursery and I am really pleased with it. The staff are all friendly and really helpful and the nursery itself is great. My daughter loves it there. I was a bit apprehensive about sending my daughter to nursery as she is only 7 months old but starting her
at Blossoms Day Nursery was the best thing I have done. I would recommend this nursery to anyone.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! My daughter is 3 years old and has been to 3 nurseries so I have had my fair share of experiences with nurseries and nursery staff, Blossoms Day Nursery is just amazing! It’s clean, organised, friendly and welcoming. They are always doing extra activities with the children like days
out they really go above to keep them entertained. They have animals in the outside space. My daughter loves that! And the outside space is so creative, beautiful. My child has progressed so much in this nursery. One thing I have noticed all the children in the nursery are extremely clever and advanced. Not to mention all of the staff are amazing. They love the children and the children love them!

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.
