Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are making good progress in their learning. Staff identify possible gaps in children's learning at the earliest opportunity. The special educational needs coordinator liaises well with other professionals to ensure children get the help they need.

Outdoor space

Some staff complete simple tasks for children that they can do themselves, such as putting on and zipping up their coats before going outside to play. This does not fully promote children's self-care skills.

Would highly recommend this nursery. It is like a home away from home. A very warm, welcoming, friendly environment for children and parents. My older son attended this nursery for 2 years before he went into reception and they helped him thrive into the amazing boy he is today. His love for learning new things is down to the environment and experiences blossoms provided and this has continued into his school journey. My youngest son still attends and will talk about his day at the end of each day especially about the wonderful staff there and the activities he has been doing. The feedback at the end of each day is detailed and staff always welcome parents with a smile. Brilliant learning opportunities for the children to learn and develop through play and the care is above and beyond and nothing is ever too much. My son was a fussy eater and didn't have much language before coming to blossoms and with the support from the nursery he now eats a range of food and he don't stop talking which is amazing! If your looking for a nursery for your child to reach their full potential, be cared for at the highest standard and loved just as much as you love them, this is the one!

My children have the pleasure of attending Blossoms nursery and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making both parents and children feel right at home. The facilities are clean, bright, and have a home from home feel. Always plenty of engaging activities for the little ones. The outdoor space is also fantastic, providing a safe area for kids to explore and play. Overall, I highly recommend Blossoms to any parent looking for a nurturing environment for their child. It's clear that the staff genuinely care about the children's well-being and development. I left feeling confident that any child would thrive in their care!

Our son started here at nine months old, it was the best decision we have made for him. He has thrived here so much, socially, physically, the lot! He struggled with his crawling and by the time he went to nursery they supported this for him and he was crawling! They supported his fine motor skills that he needed to work on and focused on things we wished to focus more on, everything we asked for they supported, always keeping us updated on their app which is so reassuring for me. They contact us if any issues occur, and are so amazing with their handovers with so much detail. It’s such a beautiful homely environment also which I think is amazing! Their gardens are stunning. I couldn’t wish for better for my little boy. The staff and management are incredible and so kind and welcoming. They make you feel comfortable when talking to them which is nice for me as I’m a shy person at heart so it’s so easy for me to talk to them about anything. Top nursery and we are lucky our boy goes here. His development is doing incredible so Thankyou blossoms!

My 9 month old daughter started here just over a month ago in the baby room and is so happy here. She has settled so well thanks to the lovely staff in her room and around the nursery. She has learnt so much already and is more than happy to come into nursery and explore, which as a parent, is amazing to know ! X

Our son has recently started going to blossoms day nursery. The staff are friendly and supportive. There is an app which is regularly updated to inform us what our son has been up to and what he has had to eat. We are happy with the progress our son has made within the short time he been there.
