Wonderbloom is family for my child.
I know that when he goes there he feels at home.
He has bonded with all his key persons with the maximum of the strongest bond he could ever have, and that’s thanks to the love they have for him. The manager is so attentive and has the eye of a mother towards the
children in her nursery - that’s just so admiring.
I cannot thank Wonderbloom enough for giving me all the support needed for everything that my child needs, and this is all the constant changes and routines and adjustments they make so that my son can thrive
I myself worked in a different nursery and was scared to put him in a different setting, but Wonderboom's smaller ratio and the excellent knowledge of Senco children made the change the best I could want for.

Rita, your review gave us goosebumps! It warms our hearts to know that you feel like we are a family, as that is exactly what we set out to do - be that extended family to not only our children but our parents too.
Thank you for your beautiful review; it means the world to us.

My favourite thing about Wonderbloom is how loving the staff are. They are so kind and welcome the children with open arms every morning and cuddle goodbye when it's hometime! I know that when my child is in Wonderbloom care, I can go to work relaxed knowing that he is very well looked after which is
just brilliant! I love that my child has outside access all the time at Wonderbloom, and has the freedom to explore!

Reply from Steph, Owner at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

This is so lovely to read! Thanks so much for your ongoing support (Even when we have sent him home with ruined clothes from all the messy play we get up to or when teaching him independence with feeding himself!!) You guys were one of our first families and I can't bare the day when he goes to school - stop the clock!

I am very grateful with Wonderbloom for many reasons, firstly, their staff. Thank you for looking after the most important person in my life, my child, the way you do, with patience and love, creating a safe environment for him, and giving my child the time that he needs to develop himself in different
areas like communication, toileting, etc without pressuring him. Secondly, I’m very happy with their different apps which help in the communication between the nursery and parents. Besides, it is really nice to see all the daily information about our children, what they have eaten, if they have been in the toilet etc.
The observation part of the app it’s what I like the most as it gives us a closer look at our children day to day in their learning. However, I would like the most if there were more videos instead of just photos.


And last but not least, thank you for organising all those special activities for parents to make us part of your Wonderbloom community.


Reply from Stephanie Middleton, Co-founder at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

What a beautiful review from a beautiful family! Thank you so much for your kind words, we do try very hard to ensure parents feel as much of our family as much as the children do! Keeping you informed about your precious little ones is super important and we feel it is essential (as parents ourselves!) that this consistent update about how their day is going and what they have got up to is fed back to you!
We will make a note of the videos - the WiFi here at Sheerwater is our downfall - but I will look into this! Thank you for the suggestion! Thank you for choosing Wonderbloom!

The lovely team helped me so much with my son and he has been doing so well since starting here I am so pleased and grateful that you all took him on and seeing how happy he is while there he's learning speech and all over progress has been amazing since starting here my opinion. I would like to thank
you all for doing the amazing great work you all do day in and day out for our little people.

Reply from Steph, Admissions at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

We can't thank you enough for trusting us with your little one, especially after his last nursery experience. It fills our hearts with joy to see how much children thrive in a setting where that extra care and attention is given with enhanced ratios. Thank you for picking us to be those additional special people in his life!

My child has attended Wonderbloom preschool for 18 months. Quite honestly sending him here is one of the best decisions we made for him. My child has ASD and their help and support and the progress he has made has been amazing. When he joined he did not know how to interact with other children appropriately,
he was nonverbal and wary of other children based on the experience at his last nursery. Wonderbloom truly understands the needs of neurodivergent children, they have well-trained staff and are equipped in meeting all the unique needs of each child. They are loving and patient and attentive towards the children due to low ratios. They provide lots of updates and information about your child's day. My child is now speaking words, more socially aware and making friends and getting invited to parties and playdates. Somedays he's having so much fun he doesn’t want to leave! If you are considering Wonderbloom don’t hesitate in sending your child there, they will thrive and shine.

Reply from Steph, Founder at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

Oh, reading this give me goosebumps!
Your review means the world to us, so thank you! But better than that, to see this little champ get to where he has is the best gift we could ever wish for! His key person bond has always been so strong, even as this has changed with room movements and every day we are now seeing progress after progress.
Thank you for entrusting us with him. I know for children with SEN the decision of nursery (and school) can be an even huger task than normal and we feel so privileged to have been a part of this one's early development and see him shine!

Our 2 year old boy seems to really enjoy his time at nursery and is 9 times out of 10 very keen to go each morning. We of course have no idea about every hour that he is there, but from what we can tell from his feedback each day, the pictures and updates from staff it seems like a very fun and happy
setting for him. From an educational perspective too we are very pleased with his progress in his vocabulary, sentence building and other things like counting - he is definitely picking up more from nursery than he is at home! Other things like the diverse food he is eating and the messy play the children participate in is giving him a well-rounded time at the nursery.
I cannot think of any particular faults or concerns we have, and there may be small areas of improvement that potentially may have come to me at times, but I cannot think of a major area in which I think obvious improvement.
So we are really pleased with everything on the whole.

Reply from Steph, Admissions at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

Thanks so much! Is there is anything you can think of, please do email it over as we really do like to listen and reflect on parental suggestions and ideas. We are all for parent partnerships!
I understand it is hard to review us out of 5 stars when you don't get to see us in action every minute of every day, so thank you for your reflective review - it's super helpful!

We are really happy with Wonderbloom. Our daughter has been going there since the nursery started and it has been a joy to watch her grow into a confident and smart child. In our opinion, the nursery setting is lovely and the staff really do have the children’s health and wellbeing as their main priority.
On the odd occasions when my daughter has been ill, they have really looked after her and made sure she was comforted. The setting also has many chances for the parents to come in for various shows, activities and stay and plays which is a great chance to meet other parents and the children that our daughter constantly speaks about!

Reply from Jess, Manager at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

Thanks so much for your review! It's been such a pleasure to have your little one grow with us and my has she grown! Can't believe she will be spreading her wings this summer for school! Thanks so much for choosing us!

My 2-year-old son moved here from a different nursery and his progress has been incredibly positive! The setting itself is clean and engaging and the outdoor space is impressive. The staff create a nurturing environment fostering social skills, creativity, and independence. Our son is always keen to
get out of the house and to nursery in the morning and comes home happy, engaged, and full of excitement about what he's done that day. It is clear that the staff care deeply and it is so reassuring to know how comfortable and safe he feels with them. The communication between staff and parents is excellent and we appreciate the personalised attention our little one receives due to the high ratios. I am very happy with Wonderbloom, and most importantly, so is my son!

Reply from Jess, Manager at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

Thank you so much for your kind words! It warms our hearts to know we are making an impression on you as parents as much as the children themselves! We are super happy you picked us as it means we get to be a part of your son's life!
Thank you also for pointing out our communication, we do feel this is highly important for you to be informed every step of the way, no matter how small!

My gregarious 2-year-old grandson moved into the area last year but was unhappy at a different local nursery to the point where he didn't want to go and always came out looking glum. After 5 months of not settling in, his parents moved him to Wonderbloom. What a difference, he loves being there. The
staff were understanding of his situation and helped him settle in quickly and make new friends. They engage with him so well that he brings in certain toys to show them. It's a delight to see him so happy again, developing so well and singing the songs he learns there. The staff are friendly and their sympathy with accidents helped facilitate a smooth transition with toilet training. I've only briefly seen the facilities but they look good, as is the security. I recommend Wonderbloom for their interest in the children they care for.

Reply from Steph, Admissions at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

It's so nice to hear we are making impressions on the whole family! It's lovely to hear how well he is now getting on, choosing a nursery is a really hard choice as you don't know if it will work until they start going. I am happy to hear that moving to us was a positive one and your grandson really is one of the gang now! Having small class sizes makes these friendships so much stronger - it's beautiful to see! We will show you around more for our grandparents' events, just ask for a nosey around.

Generally very good. The children are happy and making good progress. The areas where I could see improvement are
- Generally more space per child both outside and inside.
- It would be nice with something else than asphalt for the children to play on outside.
- Do you ever to the large playground
across the road?
- Our children are often hungry when we pick them up despite the diary saying they ate all. Are the portions large enough?

Reply from Jess, Manager at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that your children are enjoying their time and making progress at Wonderbloom. Regarding space, we're proud to mention that we provide double the space recommended by Ofsted standards. While we could accommodate twice as many little explorers, we cap our class sizes at 12 per room. Why? Because we believe in giving our children ample space to play, learn, and grow without feeling like they're in a can of sardines!


We're on the same page about asphalt all the time, which is why we whisk the children away to the large playground across the road and they also have access to a spacious grassy park and canal walks for those essential nature-based adventures. For food - your little ones are scooped up right before tea time, which is prime time for tummies rumbling! Rest assured, our meal portions are generous enough to cater to second and third helpings. Thanks again for your feedback - it's super helpful!

We love Wonderbloom! Having moved recently and started Wonderbloom we are so happy! My child settled really well with the change from a previous nursery helped by the personable, friendly and engaging staff who really make the effort to get to know him as an individual. My son loves the outdoor space
and comes home happy with a chat about his day. The communication to parents is the best I have experienced from three different nurseries, It goes above and beyond with info about free hours and where to claim and even a reminder about deadlines for school applications! It seems like they really understand busy parent life with a toddler! Honestly haven't got a bad thing to say about the nursery and its staff.

Reply from Jess, Manager at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

Thank you so much for your kind words about Wonderbloom! We're thrilled to hear that your family's transition to our nursery has been a smooth and happy one. It's always our goal to make every child feel valued and understood, so knowing our staff has made a meaningful connection with your son is wonderful to hear. We're delighted that he's enjoying our outdoor space – it's one of our favourite spots too! It's great that he's eager to share stories about his day; those little chats are always so precious.


Your compliment about our communication is highly appreciated. We understand how busy parenting can be, especially with a toddler in tow, so we aim to provide clear, helpful, and timely information to make things a little easier for you. Hearing that you rate our service as the best among your experiences with different nurseries is incredibly gratifying.

I moved my son from another setting to Wonderbloom only because of distance. He was already very well settled in the other nursery so it was a very hard decision but I dont regret it one bit! The staff is very lovely and experienced. My boy started talking so much only after attending nursery twice
a week. Their paperwork is on point, they do regular reviews and inform me about my baby's progress. My child's room leader is fantastic, a person made for this job. I already recommended the nursery to a friend and she is making arrangements to move her son to Wonderbloom too. If you can leave your child in a stranger's hands and get on with your work without worrying- that's how you know it's the right place for your baby.

Reply from Jess, Manager at Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater

Thank you for sharing your experience with Wonderbloom. We understand how tough it can be to switch nurseries, especially when your little one was already settled. It's heartening to hear that your decision has been a positive one. We're delighted to know that our staff's experience and approach have resonated well with your son, especially in encouraging his communication skills. We are all about Communication and Language! We take pride in our thorough paperwork and regular updates on each child's development, so it's great to see this aspect of our service being appreciated. It sounds like your child's room leader is making a significant impact – we believe we have some of the best in the business!


Thank you for recommending us to your friend. There's no greater endorsement than a parent's trust and recommendation. Knowing that you feel confident and worry-free when leaving your child with us is the highest praise we could ask for!

Wonderbloom Shearwater are amazing! We are delighted with our choice of wonderbloom Shearwater for our son. He has been part of this nursery for three months now and he has a blast there. He always comes back home with a sparkle in his eyes and a new tale to narrate. He has made many friends and learned
so much from the friendly and competent staff. The nursery is well-organized, clean and spacious, with plenty of activities and toys for the children. The food is wholesome and yummy, and the menu is varied and suited to the children's needs. We are very satisfied with the quality of education and care that wonderbloom Shearwater delivers. We highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, fun and stimulating environment for their child.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.864 for Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.864

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wonderbloom Nature Nursery - Sheerwater is based on 15 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 45 number of registered child places is 9, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
