About this day nursery

Their distinctive approach combines personalised care, cutting-edge teaching methods, and strong collaborations with parents and guardians.
This creates an enriching environment where children can thrive and enjoy their educational journey. The nursery prioritises an intimate setting, maintaining consistent teams and limiting child numbers to ensure a high-quality, comprehensive education.

The curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) standards, promoting teaching and learning to ensure children are well-prepared for school, equipped with a broad range of knowledge and skills for future progress.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
SEND provision
The provision for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities is a strength. The special educational needs coordinator has good knowledge of how to support children's individual needs, working closely with practitioners and other professionals to swiftly close any gaps in children's development.
Outdoor space
Children love to explore the garden area, as well the large natural forest school, supported by the qualified forest school leader. Children learn to take risks, with the support of staff, as they use the tree swing carefully. Older children enjoy spending a large part of their day in the large forest school area.

I am so pleased with this nursery. I feel relaxed to know just how much care and love is given to my child when he isn’t with me. He is happy, confident, entertained and just the right amount of tired at the end of a nursery day. I honestly couldn’t recommend the staff and facilities enough

Our kids have loved it here and learn so much. Staff are all very sweet and we love the consistency in the staff. We used a previous nursery who used a huge number of agency staff.

So pleased my daughter goes to Blossom Years. She has been to 2 nurseries and this by far exceeds the quality of the other. I always feel happy to drop her in, she runs in and is so happy to see her key workers, she talks about them at home as if they were her friends. She always gets a big hug on entering and always seems happy when I pick her up. Forest school is an amazing facility, the food is healthy and to a good standard, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the nursery to any parent. We are moving closer into London but have decided to keep our daughter at Blossom Years because she loves it so much. Special shout out to Rosie and Amy who have made us feel so comfortable with our daughter’s transition into childcare. Thank you Blossom Years!
