We absolutely love Bloomsbury of the Beach Day Nursery! My child is always so excited to go and comes home full of stories about her day. The staff are warm, caring, and genuinely invested in the children's happiness and development. She gets loads of fresh air and outdoor play daily, which is something
we really value. It's wonderful to see her thriving in such a nurturing and engaging environment. Highly recommend!

Our 2 daughters attended Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery in the summer of 2024.
They absolutely loved their time at 'mermaid school' and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
The staff were fabulous, always friendly and had plenty of time to chat with parents. One thing I really liked
was the sharing of lots of photos - the communication was outstanding.
It's a great nursery, especially during the warmer months when the children are outside for most of the day.

We've been very happy with Bloomsbury on the Beach and most importantly, so has our son! The nursery is new and well-equipped with a great variety of toys and books that keep the children engaged and learning. The food there was healthy and tasty.
They regularly organise trips, as well as interesting
additional classes like yoga that add something special to the routine. One of the things we loved the most was the wonderful celebrations they arranged, such as the lantern walk to the beach, where parents could join in and share memorable experiences with their children. The staff are incredibly friendly and caring and our son felt comfortable and happy with them all. The location is another great advantage, especially in the summer, as it's right next to the beach and a playground, making it easy to meet other parents and kids after pick-up.
Overall, we highly recommend Bloomsbury to any parents looking for a warm, engaging and well-organised setting for their little ones.

Bloomsbury on the beach (BOTB) Team was an amazing support to our son. They provided a safe and stimulating environment for our son. They were very accommodating, patient, caring and always sought to improve our son's speech and language skills. A big thank you and shout out to the BOTB and Bloomsbury
street day nursery (BSDN) Teams. We are really grateful for your support, kindness and consideration of our son's special needs. I loved the fact that they took the kids out for exploration and outdoor activities. We miss everyone and we would definitely recommend Bloomsbury to anyone looking for a safe, stimulating, supportive and fun environment for children to develop essential skills, whilst having fun at the same time. Thank you so much to the entire team for looking after our very special cheeky son.

The team at Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery are wonderful with the children. They really get to know both your child and your child's family/important people. The manager always used to remember my eldest child and make a big fuss of him whenever we picked up my daughter.
It's little things like
this that make it a really kind, special environment. The trips and activities the children do are really rich and fun. I felt my daughter, despite being a Covid baby, was really social because of how the nursery integrates the children. It's a really special place that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you to all the team for taking such good care of my little girl.

We have three children and our youngest is at Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery. She has been in a couple of other nursery settings and the Beach is, by far, the best one we have experienced in Brighton. She skips to school each day (she never says goodbye to us) and it's sometimes hard to get her
to come home! The team there, especially the manager and a member of staff, in particular, are absolutely outstanding. They sing songs, go on walks, do trips, make craft (and soup) and generally have the best time. We've experienced eight-plus nursery settings across our three children and we believe Bloomsbury on the Beach to be the best we've experienced. Thank you so much to the manager and team.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We have really loved having you all with us and wish you all the very best with your next big adventure.

Bloomsbury on the beach is a Brighton treasure. The excellent leadership and incredibly lovely team have created a wonderful environment for kids right on the beach that our daughter loved going to. The kids go out for trips often to the beach & nearby parks and learn loads thanks to attentive teachers
who go the extra mile to make their days more special. The food that the children get is healthy & nutritious and encouraged our daughter to eat more variety at home. They were also amazingly patient in helping her through a tricky toilet training stage. We absolutely loved sending our daughter here and cannot recommend it enough to interested parents.

Reply from Victoria Coombs, Relationship Manager at Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We loved having your eldest with us at our beach location and are equally loving having your youngest with us at Bloomsbury Street. We will be launching our new menu in autumn, and an amazing local nutritionist has worked with us on this! Our Beach team was delighted to receive your wonderful review. We are wishing your daughter the very best with her next big adventure at school.

Our child is very happy and settled at Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery. He is learning so much and is really encouraged to follow his interests. The activities seem really engaging and varied, with lots of opportunities to be creative and also learn practical skills. The staff team is amazing -
we have found everyone to be very kind, caring and nurturing. And the managers are very open to feedback and suggestions. The facilities and resources are lovely and seem well looked after. The lack of outside space doesn't impact the time the children spend outside and our child really enjoys the variety of trips that are arranged on a daily basis (these have included; beach, playground, gardens and parks, museum, bus rides, shopping trips). The food provided seems varied and healthy. Overall, we have been very happy with this nursery and would highly recommend it!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.738)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.738) out of 10 for Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.938 for Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bloomsbury on the Beach Day Nursery is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 36 number of registered child places is 7.2, which has been reached with 8 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.
