About this day nursery

Buds to Blossoms Nursery, located in East Molesey, KT8 9LU, is a childcare setting on non-domestic premises that caters to children aged 2 to 4 years. Registered with Ofsted in 2025, the day nursery is registered with Ofsted under URN 2838333 and operates Monday to Friday, from 8:00 to 18:00.

The day nursery places a strong emphasis on fostering positive behaviour and attitudes, with leaders and staff setting high expectations and consistently applying support for children's emotional regulation. Children are encouraged to engage confidently with staff and benefit from collaborative learning experiences.

Staff are adept at identifying individual learning starting points, ensuring all children progress well and develop essential skills for school. Strong partnerships with parents are a cornerstone of the nursery's approach, facilitating emotional development and understanding of differences.

However, the nursery currently 'Requires Improvement' due to safeguarding concerns, specifically regarding the completion of required checks for adults working and volunteering at the setting, and supervision during mealtimes.

What it's like

Leaders have not ensured that all adults have completed the required checks before they start working and volunteering at the setting. Unchecked adults are left unsupervised with children during mealtimes, and they undertake additional responsibilities, such as changing children's nappies. This impacts on children's overall safety and welfare. Despite this, children arrive happy and engage confidently with staff, benefiting from rich experiences that promote collaborative learning. Staff effectively identify starting points to plan for continued learning, ensuring all children progress well and build strong partnerships with parents to support emotional development and understanding of differences.

Buds to Blossom is the most amazing setting - inside and out! So refreshing to see so much outdoor space from within, and the Forest School element is fabulous! My daughter is 15 months and mixes with the older children as well as the ones her age, and she really benefits from it. As a baby she was very clingy and I never imagined she'd settle so quickly and so happily. Aleyda and her team are a font of knowledge, and go the extra mile to make each day special. We are so fortunate to have found B2B, and highly recommend it!

I've been so impressed with this nursery. The amount of green space is incredible; there's so much room for the children to run, play, and just be kids. The school forest area is such a unique and wonderful feature, allowing for amazing adventures and outdoor learning. What truly makes this place special, though, is the team. From what I've seen, every staff member is so incredibly motivated, positive, and genuinely fantastic with the children. They create such a warm, nurturing, and fun environment where you can see the children's confidence grow. Highly, highly recommend!

Simply outstanding nursery with a big emphasis on learning outdoors in nature. The children have so many fun activities to choose from planting vegetables and campfire cooking to performing on the nursery’s stage. Aleyda and the team put so much care and thought into creating an engaging curriculum, the children literally learn new things everyday, like counting to ten not only in English but Spanish! Would strongly recommend Buds to Blossoms to any parents who are looking for a fabulous, enriching and caring nursery school for their little ones.

I have been so delighted with Buds to Blossoms. Aleyda and her wonderful team love and nurture my children so amazingly. All three of mine have been through or are going to nursery with her and have come out well rounded resilient kids ready for school when it arrives. Their passion for music and nature and kindness and friendships comes directly from the amazing experiences that they have had with Aleyda. Highly recommended!
