I moved my daughter here from another nursery when we moved house and she's so much more settled here. They are very caring and attentive and engage the parents so that they are tailoring their planning to the children. The children are clearly well looked after and they also keep track of her clothes and belongings really carefully, which hasn't always been our experience elsewhere.

Our son has attended Bloomers for three days a week since he was 1. He loves it and he has benefitted from caring and attentive staff who were able to form close relationships with him. It's such a relief to know that he will enjoy his day there and we can trust that he will be safe and well looked after. The food is fresh, varied and prepared on-site. We get regular updates throughout the day via the nursery app. Thank you Catford Bloomers!

My son attended this nursery for 10 months,4 days a week. From 11 months old until he was close to 2 years old - baby's room. The staff is fantastic, profesional and they teach with a genuine, creative and transparent approach. The way they talk to babies transmitting calm and discipline has been really impressive. All teachers help each other. The cook prepares fresh and healthy food, and all teachers know the children - they really follow up with their personal learning. We moved to a different area, so we had to change our nursery too. They are very patient with bilingual children and they spend time to review the development of the children. Gracias❤️

My daughter attended Bloomers for about two years and has now started school. And as a thank you to the nursery for taking such good care of her I’ve added a review. No issues, I worked at ease knowing she was safe there. She’s learned so much. Really happy

Booked in for a viewing at the nursery. When I arrived they took ages to come to the door then only opened it a crack and peeped their head through and said they couldn’t let me in without my child with me. I had passport and DBS and viewed 6 nurseries on my own no problem. Clearly forgot I was coming and didn’t want me to come in for some reason. I said I’d cancelled a meeting to attend and no one had told me I needed a child with me. She said ‘its just policy, I’ll go check again’ but I left as I’m defo not sending my child here. Spoke to another staff member who said of course you can view without a child, many people view when their pregnant for example. Suspicious and bad vibes!
