The Review Score of 9.4 (maximum of 10) for Blossoms Day Nursery is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 52 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Blossoms Day Nursery in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Day Nursery / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Day Nursery receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.968 for Blossoms Day Nursery is calculated as follows: ( (603 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 623 Ratings = 4.968
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Day Nursery to friends and family?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.48 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blossoms Day Nursery is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 25 positive Reviews (125 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 12 Reviews ÷ 25 Target = 0.480
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My child has been going to Blossoms since 2015. It has been a great experience for both my child and me. They have a very structured approach to managing a child academically and also the overall condition.
The staff in the classroom and at the office are very helpful and understanding. My child has learnt a lot with Blossoms and still is while being part of aftercare. Hense great team and a great place for my child to be.

The nursery experience is new to me and Blossoms have been fantastic in helping my daughter settle and adjust to nursery routine.
I love that I can pop in and check on her when I want to and all staff in her room are very warm and friendly. This gives me great confidence that she is well looked after and loved.
My daughter loves going to nursery and now starts to ask for her carer when we are a few roads away on our morning drive.

I couldn't be happier with the nursery my daughter is at.
The staff have been excellent at settling her in and she loves all her key workers.
Knowing this gives us great peace of mind.
The activities and play the children do are amazing.
I love getting my 'artwork' at the end of the day and can't wait to enjoy the playground move!

Blossoms has been really welcoming to my daughter and grandson since they joined. My son-in-law works away so I have been collecting regularly.
Staff are so loving and caring handovers are very thorough. The children are nurtured and stimulated and the food and facilities are great.
We are extremely happy with our choice and highly recommend.

Highly recommended.

Blossoms has been nothing but amazing for us! Both our kids have attended Blossoms and have exceeded in every aspect of my kid's development, and I simply couldn't have done it without Blossoms.
The staff are always available to help to achieve milestones and always happily discuss development at any time.
I can say Blossoms exceeds my expectations and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of our children!

My daughter has been attending Blossoms for 18 months and she loves it, as we do. There is so much care and attention taken over providing a rich and mixed experience for the little ones. All the staff are fantastic - so friendly and helpful. Blossoms felt homely from the moment we visited and that feeling has never gone.

My daughter loves going to nursery and often comes home talking about her carers. I love how all of the staff are so friendly and welcoming and provide a stimulating environment for my little girl. The Christmas event that the nursery hosted for the parents was wonderful and it was great to have the opportunity to participate in the festive activities on offer.
Keep up the wonderful work you do I love you all.

I am particularly impressed by the wide range of learning experience my child has had since joining Blossoms! I enjoy keeping up to date with my child learning using parent zone. If my child could attend nursery 7 days of week she would and surely that shows what a great job Blossoms is doing! Thank you.

The idea of putting my daughter into nursery had kept me awake at night. I looked at several nurseries and Blossoms made me feel safe and welcome from my first visit. They have been so accommodating and understanding that I don't see what I ever had to worry about. Everyone in management right to the ladies in the room have been nothing short of brilliant. I could not recommend a better nursery. Thank you so much.

I often come a little bit early to collect my partner's children from Blossoms as I enjoy watching for a bit before entering the rooms as it's a true joy to watch the interactions between the staff and the children. They are all so bubbly, warm and friendly and evidently care deeply about all the children under their supervision. The facilities are great and our three year old always raves about the food and asks me to get the recipes to make it the same at home! We enjoyed the Christmas celebrations and other events the nursery has hosted - they always know how to make things fun for everyone big or small. I highly recommend Blossoms to anyone and everyone - one visit and you'll fall a little in love with the place!

Blossoms have given my child the best start to his future. It has a friendly, homely and stimulating environment which helps the child settle in immediately. The ever helpful staff finish off the place. My son has been at blossoms for over two years now. He will defiantly be sad leave soon as he moves on to full-time school. I look forward to my daughter starting in the near future. Well done to you all at blossoms.

Blossoms Day Nursery is an excellent nursery, the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The care my daughter receives is brilliant. We, as parents put a lot of trust into the nursery and I am delighted to say that Blossoms does not disappoint with the care that they provide.
The activities are interesting and varied and include a lot of sensory play and outdoor activities. The staff work hard to keep parents informed on their child's development and often offer suggestions for things we as parents can do at home to help our daughter further develop.
Most importantly, my daughter loves nursery, often going into her room without any hesitation and also on occasions coming home crying because she does not want to leave.
The food is of a high standard and the chef is very friendly and easily approachable.
An all round fantastic environment for children with warm and friendly staff!

Thank you Blossoms for everything you all do there to make each day so happy and special. I was a nervous mum and all the staff and managers made me feel at ease and comfortable leaving my little one in their care.
I am able to focus on my own job and know that she's having the best time possible, which is better than the best gift.
I have sadly become a single mum recently and the nursery has been so supportive and understanding. They have provided much needed continuity through a delicate and sensitive phase and I cannot thank them - or recommend them enough!
You are amazing Blossoms! God bless you all.

We've currently got our third child with Blossoms, we used Blossoms about 10 years ago with our elder two and after a gap have returned with our youngest.
I must say that it's like going home being there, all the things we loved the first time around are still actively present - including many of the staff, the chef and the management. But they have loads of enhancements that are really impressive. We love the access to technology and the beautiful outdoor space along with all the really fun learning that happens each day.
I'd happily give up work and go myself if I could.

Fantastic, amazing nursery. Always making parents feel adequate and at ease, especially great when you are a first-time parent.
Always suggest positive criticisms of your child and work with you to drive better performance.
Very complimentary when a task works well and both teacher and parent are experiencing positive changes in behaviour.
If I have another I would choose this nursery again in a heartbeat.

We went to a few nurseries before choosing Blossoms, which instantly stood out from the crowd. We were welcomed and given a tour of what was a very clean, secure and most of all friendly environment.
Our boy was instantly made welcome and any worries we had about him settling in soon vanished. I wouldn't say we were massively fussy, we just wanted to find a place we felt our little one would be happy and we struck lucky.

Hello, Blossoms team! We just wanted to express how much we appreciate all that you have done to settle not just our boy but us as well. We all had jitters about first-time childcare and you've all been so reassuring and just downright nice and lovely that we couldn't be more pleased. Your help with establishing a routine around breastfeeding reassured my wife who was really worried about that along with the way you did the settling in sessions was great. We really love being able to log on and see the updates o throughout the day on your parents portal and we enjoy showing the grandparents the sweet photos and comments at the weekends. Keep up your fantastic work you lovely people!

We're quite new to Leicester and had used a nursery in our old home town that we truly loved. We didn't think our son could be happier anywhere. We were wrong! Blossoms really is wow.
The facilities are amazing and the staff are all lovely. The meals are so varied and made from scratch that I could stay happily for lunch.
We particularly like the access to amazing technology along with old-fashioned values.
Massive thumbs up to Blossoms. We'll be sad when it's time for school.

We moved from a nursery in London where we were very happy, one of our main worries was to find a nursery that felt as homely and safe as the nursery we were leaving behind. We were very nervous about how our daughter would settle in and take to new surroundings, there was no reason for us to worry - Blossoms came to our rescue and were everything we wanted in a nursery.
The well-timed Christmas event just after our start really helped introduce us to the Blossoms family and it was nice to meet with some of the other parents. Thank you for all the support and patience in making the transition a smooth one and for being so understanding and flexible with our constantly changing moving date.

I visited the nursery for the first time in Summer 2016 when I was expecting our baby and totally fell in love with everything. From the warm welcome from the management team, the friendliness of all the staff I encountered - including the jolliest chef ever - to the beautiful facilities and the amazing outdoor environment - it was just a no-brainer to register. The nursery kept in touch with me during the remainder of my pregnancy and after the birth which was so personal and I was really excited about actually starting with our daughter. We've now started and I'm so pleased that everything still lives up to - and exceeds - the initial promise. We are thrilled with the loving care and the safe and secure surroundings and look forward to sharing the next few years with the team at Blossoms Day Nursery as they support and care for our daughter.

Thanks, Blossoms Day Nursery. You guys are fantastic!
You seem to think of everything from caring for the children to meeting our needs as parents. The suggestions you gave to help improve my son's eating habits have been invaluable and have helped us get back into the routine of eating together as a family instead of dreading meal times. My son has settled well at nursery and the staff are all extremely friendly and very approachable. Thank you to the girls in the room for all that you do.

Both my daughter and son love Blossoms! My wife and I have found the staff to be fantastic as they make us feel at ease and assured that our children are in safe hands, providing a lovely and caring environment for them both. The kids love the outdoor spaces and resources that the nursery provide. They both enjoy the food at Blossoms. We as parents have found management to be extremely helpful and professional in all our dealings with them. I honestly cannot fault them and would highly recommend this nursery! The Parent Zone is an amazing tool. I can check up on their progress throughout the day and feel reassured that they are happy and having a good time.

Blossoms have done everything and more to help my son settle into nursery life. It has been very difficult for him but they have never stopped ensuring he has the best time possible and that he gets the most out of his time at Blossoms.
All the staff are extremely friendly helpful and approachable. All aspects of the nursery are amazing from the meals to the various activities and not to mention the fantastic parental portal.
I couldn't have asked for a better nursery for my son. Thank you Blossoms.

My daughter has been attending Blossoms since she was 1 years old. She has now started school and she attends holiday club. Blossoms day nursery is really a home away from home. The staff are friendly and approachable and I have complete peace of mind knowing she is being cared for. We are very happy with the service we have are receiving. I highly recommend this nursery.

The team at Blossoms is amazing, so helpful and thoughtful. There is a very personal feeling when you visit and you are always made to feel welcome. My son settled so easily and has built a rapport with his carers, it feels good to know that he is in such caring hands.

My son settled into Blossoms straight away. When he is dropped off he is eager to get in the room and play. My son is always happy when I collect him. The staff are always happy to stop ad talk about how my son is going at nursery, home and what he can work on together to help him.
The staff are friendly, approachable and encouraging. They acknowledge his interests, needs and he had already formed strong bonds with the practitioners. My son is very happy here. I would highly recommend Blossoms.

Blossoms Day Nursery has been an amazing experience for my son from day one. He started at 10 months old. He has gained confidence so quickly, becoming very sociable and he is very well settled and happy at the end of each of day.
The staff have been absolutely fantastic, very accommodating and helped our son reach every milestone with immense support, I can't thank them enough.
Most importantly we have seen that Blossoms Day Nursery always give one to one attention between key workers and kids, and this is great.
The staff always take time out to speak to us and keep us updated with progress, furthermore, make action plans for the future to maximise outcomes.

We are incredibly happy with having chosen Blossoms as our son and daughter's nursery. We find all staff to be remarkably professional whilst being friendly and welcoming, each day the carers make time to give detailed feedback on the children's day and they seem to have a genuine interest and rapport with the children. Our children formed strong bonds with both their peers and carers in a short period of time. There are a variety of activities for the children each day which combine fun and learning and attention is paid to individual interests and needs. The outside space is exceptional with a fabulous array of play equipment that means we often have to bribe our active four year old to come home with us! Quite honestly we would not hesitate in recommending the nursery to anyone.

I have three children and so have been to many nurseries over the years and I can honestly say that Blossoms is by far the best we have ever known. The staff are so kind and caring, they go the extra mile to care and look after each child.
The environment is wonderful - friendly and happy - it really feels like a family. The rooms are always spotless and they have the most fantastic outside play area for the children. The food looks delicious and my son always enjoyed the different meals on offer. I would without hesitation recommend this nursery - thank you to all at Blossoms for caring for my son so well.

Since the very first visit, Blossoms have always shown professionalism, kindness and friendliness. My little boy has settled very quickly because of this. You can see the investment that is made into the premises and the staff who are employed. My little boy has developed into a very sociable little person and whenever I arrive he is always happy, surrounded by attentive carers. I would happily recommend Blossoms to anyone.

We enrolled my daughter at Blossoms Day Nursery in January 2016 and she started attending from February 2016. Having been there a month now, I'd say she seems settled and happy. She has a little cry in the morning when she is dropped off, this is very short lived and lasts a minute or so. Once she is in the high chair and ready for breakfast she is absolutely fine.
As she is one, she is currently in the Wagtail room which ranges from 6 months to 2 years. The staff seem very friendly and my daughter seems to have taken well to them. I do find that when she is picked up she seems happy so that is reassuring for a mother to see.
Food menu is great, the chef is lovely too.
I do like the fact that as a parent you can walk in at anytime and see how your child is doing again this puts your mind at ease.
Finally, I would definitely recommend Blossoms Day Nursery to family and friends as so far I am pretty pleased with my choice.

My son started off at Blossom's nursery. I then had to move him to a nursery which had standards of 'outstanding' by Ofsted to qualify him for his funded hours.
However that nursery might have been 'outstanding' by Ofsted but for me as a parent who has a level 3 in Childcare that nursery was not the place for my child to be. Blossom's is an outstanding nursery, therefore I have moved my son back to Blossom's.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Blossoms it is a fantastic nursery. My 14 month old son has been attending for a couple of months and there has already been significant improvements in his development. His social interaction and the bonds he is forming with his carers confirms to me that we definitely chose the right place. The staff were extremely welcoming and you feel very much part of the family. We knew as soon as we visited that it was this place for us. The facilities are excellent and the outdoor space in particular is wonderful, the management fully explain the anticipated learning journey and the handovers after each visit are thorough. I feel extremely comfortable each time I leave my son with them as I know he is very well cared for and most importantly he is happy there.
