Our son has been attending Blossom Tree for 14 months and we absolutely love it, I can't recommend it enough!
I am a first-time mum it was very daunting for me and I was very nervous about my son starting nursery. Blossom Tree put me at ease provided a safe and nurturing environment and my son has
settled in perfectly, it's a home away from home.
The nursery works well with parents and has the shared objective of providing the best environment for the children, in which I have seen my son flourish educationally and personally with his confidence as well as develop his social skills. The team are invested in continuous improvement, education and safety they welcome suggestions from parents so that we work together as a team.
I love the app which provides live updates of what my son has eaten, details of his naps, activities and pictures or videos of what my son has been doing throughout the day. The app also allows me to share home observations with his teachers.

As a first-time mum, choosing the right nursery was so important to us as we wanted a home away from home environment where our son could thrive, learn and prosper. Blossom Tree Montessori always goes above and beyond to keep us informed of events, changes, menus and weekly classroom schedules. We get
live updates through the blossom mobile app, which is so convenient and important as it keeps us informed about what he has eaten, how long he has slept for and the activities of the day. The daily pictures are a wonderful bonus. All the staff knows him so well and us as a family. Being an active member of the parent-liaison group, I have also seen how the staff and management at Blossom Tree take on board suggestions and concerns from parents, and turn these into positive improvements for the children. Our son is continually developing into a confident, kind and clever little boy and we are grateful to Blossom Tree beyond words.

Our daughter started at Blossom Tree when she was six months old and has thrived from the outset. Now approaching three, she has got to know just about everyone and has progressed happily from one room to another. She is cared for and responded to as an individual by the superb staff. Activities are
hugely varied. Learning is made fun, often through song, and we are often surprised to discover just how much she knows. There is also a good emphasis on behaviour, focusing on kind interaction and consideration for others. Emotional awareness is introduced at a very early stage in an accessible way, so our daughter has always been able to communicate her feelings, for example through colour.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Blossom Tree to other families. It has given our daughter the best possible start to her education and helped to make her a confident, sociable, happy individual.

Our son started at Blossom Tree Montessori as an 11month old. As a first-time mother, one of the hardest things is giving your child to someone else to care for. The team at Blossom Tree Montessori have been exceptional from day 1. Every single member of staff had been a pleasure to deal with and have
always had a strong bond with our boy. Well organised settling sessions/ transitions, daily communication via the app, good menu choices (+ catering for allergies) and extracurricular activities are just a few more of the positives we have experienced during our time at the Montessori. The influence all the staff have had over the last two years in making our son a happy, kind and independent little boy can never be measured and we will always be grateful.

Blossom Tree is simply a wonderful nursery for children. My daughter just graduated after 2 years in this amazing nursery and there are not enough words to say how grateful I am for all the work they do every single day. They are truly passionate, caring and full of ideas and new daily activities. My
daughter is always happy to go there, she has learnt so much, I’ve seen her become more confident and sociable day by day. She developed her creativity and her English flourished. Also, I was very happy with the food, as for me it’s really important nowadays. They really pay attention to use all good products, a very healthy diet, and a lot of organic food.
I feel that we will really miss them. Every time we drive along the road next to the nursery, my daughter always says ‘hello nursery’ or ‘bye nursery’. I think that we’ll still do that even when my daughter will be at the ‘big’ school in few days... Blossom Tree will be always in our hearts. Great nursery, great staff.

Blossom Tree is a spectacular nursery.
Our daughter has been with them since they opened and has flourished.
The staff and their level of care are amazing and made both our daughter and us extremely comfortable.
We have recommended over a dozen people to them and all have had the same experience.
Their
accolades and achievements in both standards and acceptance to the top schools speak for themselves.
During covid and on an ongoing basis their level of caution and care has been unparalleled.

Always wonderful to hear your experiences have been positive and it has been amazing having your daughter with us!

I am amazed how much this nursery and the staff have had such a positive impact on my little girl. Every morning we receive a warm welcome when we come into the main reception. There is such a sense of warm yet firmness to the nursery which is something that really attracted me. I absolutely love the
detailed app, it makes my day. The food always looks amazing and my little girl has become a better eater since. I am excited to see how my little one continues to thrive here.

We always received a warm welcome when it comes to drop off. She now knows the way to nursery and is excited to go and play with her friends. She happily waves me off which is a great sign, she's content at nursery. Her confidence has grown since attending and is a very happy, chatty girl. The food
looks great with such a varied menu, it makes me jealous! She has a great relationship with the staff members and will happily jump into their arms. I'm so glad I made the right choice at Blossom Tree Montessori.

My son loves Blossom Tree Montessori. They were so welcoming and I couldn't ask for better daycare for my son.
The food is made on site and incredibly varied. He has progressed so well since being there and they provide such a wide range of activities for the kids. I would always recommend this nursery
to anyone and will send any future children there.

Since our toddlers joined the nursery, we have noticed so many enjoyable differences in them, notably independence, confidence and speech and we also notice them pointing out things that we know they definitely learnt at nursery like “Horsie!” and “Tidy up, Tidy up!”
We are very pleased. We would
like to know more about the activities they do, specifically how they stimulate the child. Also how we as parents can follow-through at home to enable a seamless learning curve. We would like to know about any plans for activities such as yoga for calm, mindfulness and well-being. Also, any plans for a uniform for my older toddler, will this still be going ahead?

My daughter settled into the nursery within the first couple of visits. The settling in process was professional yet flexible to my child's needs. My daughter looks forward to going to nursery every week which I think is a great indicator on how much she loves the nursery.
My daughter learnt very
quickly, how to feed herself. She has become more and more confident in her home life after attending nursery. To keep my daughter entertained is extremely challenging as she is a very curious child, however, the nursery have done a great job with introducing a number of activities to her which I know she enjoys.
I love that I get a detailed update on what my child has been up to in the day through an app and that the updates include pictures which I am able to then share with the rest of my family. The app is a two-way communication process, I am able to update the key worker with what my child has been involved in outside of her nursery days as well as get an update from the nursery.

My son has only been at the nursery a few weeks and already I have noticed how quickly he has developed new skills. Everything from holding his own open cup to putting together puzzles. The staff have been great and the app is a brilliant way to communicate his daily activities.

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.
