My daughter has been attending Blossom Tree Montessori for the last ten months and we couldn't be happier. The staff are incredibly caring and nurturing and you can see how attached the children are to them. The meals are outstanding, great variety and healthy and the kids eat really well. The activities
are also stimulating, educational and varied. Communication with staff and management is also seamless, they always respond in a timely manner and it's so lovely to see daily updates on the kids via the Blossom Tree app. Overall, highly recommended!

My son has been at Blossom Tree Montessori for almost 4 months and I can see how much care and effort is put into taking care of the children and nurturing them. The settling-in process was great, he adapted very well to the nursery and he is very happy at drop-off and pick-up time, which gives me,
as a mother, great reassurance that he's thriving and being well taken care of.

Reply from Sara Thakrar, Director at Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood

The process of settling our child was amazing. He settled immediately into the setting and the teachers took his needs as a foremost consideration. The teachers he has had in the past 9 months have been outstanding and the care he has received has been as close to what we as parents would give. The
meals offered are simply amazing! He loves the variety offered to him and has never complained once about it. The management is very flexible and accommodating to parents in terms of extra days, time off, etc. The extracurricular programs provided are so fun-filled and my son enjoys every bit of it!
In the words of my son on his days off 'I wanna go to school!'

Reply from Sara Thakrar, Director at Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We are delighted to hear that your child settled in so well and that our teachers have provided excellent care, matching the standard you as parents would offer. It is wonderful that your child enjoys the variety of meals and eagerly anticipates nursery, even on days off! We are delighted to offer flexible options and exciting extracurricular activities. Your kind words mean a lot to us and thank you for being a part of the Blossom Tree community!

Our daughter has been at Blossom Tree Montessori for just over a month and I can confidently say I have no regrets. As a first-time mum, you often feel apprehensive about leaving your child at nursery but the staff are highly experienced and nurturing and made the settling-in process so much easier
and as a result, my daughter eats and naps well there. My daughter settled within a few days and is now oozing with confidence and really enjoys being at nursery. The app is also another great tool used to communicate effectively and the photos/videos that get shared really make my heart melt seeing what different activities they get up to during the day. The key workers/staff are very approachable and also communicate with us either at collection or drop off. We would highly recommend this nursery to all our friends/family as we are very confident that our daughter will strive and grow there in the next few years.

We send both our kids to Blossom Tree Montessori and have to say that we have always been so happy with the care and attention the staff provide to the kids.
My son is 4 and has recently been through his 4+ assessments and we honestly believe that Blossom Tree Montessori helped him through this.
The
facilities and staff are second to none!

Reply from Robyn Shea, Manager at Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so proud of how well he has done for his assessments. We really appreciate it and love having both of them here with us.

Our eldest son has been attending Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood since November 2021 and our youngest son has recently settled into ladybirds - we’re very happy with the nursery. The whole team are incredibly nurturing right from the baby room all the way up to bumblebees. The updates on the app
throughout the day are really reassuring, particularly in those first few weeks. In the past year, we’ve also really appreciated the nursery’s support through potty training and preparing for the private school assessments. Both our boys are thriving at Blossom Tree and we’d recommend it to other parents without hesitation.

Reply from Robyn Shea, Manager at Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood

Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much to us and we are so happy to have both the boys with us!

I like to express our thanks to everyone at Blossom Tree for helping our daughter settle in. Her settling-in period started in October 2023 and she is now so very comfortable with being at Blossom Tree Montessori. She absolutely loves everyone there and always goes in and comes out bouncing! She is
so well cared for, given such a great level of attention and is always spoken to in such a lovely way.
We have seen huge strides in her development as well - especially in the few weeks when she was at home over the Christmas period. It was great to hear that all the other staff in Dragonflies not only noted how much more confident and mobile she has been since returning post-Christmas but also provided a space where they encouraged her to continue expressing herself and move around the classroom safely!

Reply from Robyn, Manager at Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood

Thank you so much for your kind words! We love having your daughter here with us at Blossom Tree and it has been amazing to see her grow and become so confident in such a short time! We look forward to seeing her blossom with us!

Blossom Tree is a lovely nursery with very caring staff who have the best interests of the children who attend. The nursery setting is welcoming, warm and spacious.
Our daughter has been there since age 1 and seeing her grow and learn new skills has been heartwarming. The staff are always available
and make the time to answer questions or queries that we have had. Would highly recommend the nursery to anyone looking to send their child to daycare.

Blossom Tree Montessori is an exceptional nursery. The staff are very kind, caring and nurturing. Our daughter is very happy there - we can see how her confidence has really grown since joining the nursery. The teachers and managers are very approachable and communicate effectively with us. We are also
impressed with their organisation. They have a great app which enables us to see photos of how our daughter is getting on on a daily basis. They also have fresh food provided on site daily. We would absolutely recommend this nursery.

Our son has been attending Blossom Tree since September 2022, he was a very shy child and we were a little apprehensive about him starting nursery as he liked to keep himself to himself most of the time.
He settled in quickly, the staff were very welcoming and warm, he soon ran to the staff waving
us off at the gates, very happy to see them all in no time at all!
He has made many friends and loves to come home and tell us all about his day.
We also love the app as we get to see lots of pictures and videos of what the children have been up to during the day and information about naps and what they have eaten too.
Our son has recently been having some potential allergies/intolerances with certain foods and the team have been fantastic with supporting us with this.
We are so happy to see how much confidence he has gained since starting at Blossom Tree and cannot thank the team enough for helping him come out of his shell and also supporting us as parents too!

Great staff, both nursery and the reception/backroom staff. Willing to listen to any concerns and work with your child to help their development. The Deputy Manager at the Northwood branch is particularly helpful and willing to go above and beyond.

We highly recommend Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood. Both of my boys have thrived in this setting.

We had our son here for nearly one year but are extremely disappointed with the nursery as the staff doesn't teach much and we haven't seen much improvement!
I would say avoid, and find another nursery around!

Reply from Sara Thakrar, Director at Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood

The ladies at Blossom Tree are truly amazing. Watching our daughter learn and grow everyday is just amazing to watch. As super busy full time working parents it is so important that we feel like everything is world class when we leave our daughter each morning. She is growing and flourishing with their
love and care daily. Thank you for everything you do.

It’s very difficult to know how good or bad a nursery is, but now that we’ve moved away from one nursery, I can say that Blossom Tree Montessori is an exceptional nursery.
The nursery my daughter is in now is also very good (rated outstanding, and she’s happy), but this nursery is better because:
There
is a very clear structure to the week where activities and play are based around a theme (shapes, colours etc).
The food was amazing.
The communication on what is happening at the nursery is very proactive and responsive. She is incredibly on top of the ops.
The app was designed by Blossom Tree and is much better than the other app often used by other nurseries. The team update it daily with great quality photos and some videos.
They use the extra clothes you provide, and your child comes out looking better than when they go in.
The staff are incredible.
The Spanish classes - I couldn’t believe how much they loved it and learnt.
We miss Blossom Tree Montessori!

My little boy has been attending Blossom Tree for 3 months now and I cannot fault them. From the very beginning, the support has been amazing. The staff are always so friendly and the dedication towards the children's learning and happiness is fantastic. I was incredibly nervous about my son starting
nursery but Blossom Tree reassured me and has given my little boy the independence that he really needed while in a safe and engaging environment where he can explore the world around him.

Blossom Tree has a very home from home feel to the nursery. My nephew loved going into the nursery, especially when the horses are out! He always came home so happy about his day, talking about all the things he did and made! I’d highly recommend this nursery to anyone whose looking! Food is outstanding,
and my nephew would always have more than one helping at mealtimes. Staff are friendly, welcoming and loving towards all the children, which you see at drop off and pick up!

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.461)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.461) out of 10 for Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 14 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 4.732 for Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.732

  • 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 4.729 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blossom Tree Montessori Northwood is based on 14 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.729

  • 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.
