Blooming Kids is a nurturing early years setting specialising in caring for and educating babies and young children from birth to three years. Located in Andover town centre, the nursery provides a calm, thoughtfully prepared environment where the youngest children feel safe, secure and valued as they begin to explore the world around them.
The nursery offers high-quality, child-led care and early education, with funded places available from nine months, including government-funded hours. Inspired by the Curiosity Approach, their spaces are carefully designed with natural materials, authentic resources and sensory experiences that encourage babies and toddlers to explore, investigate and develop their growing independence.
Blooming Kids has experienced practitioners who understand that children under three learn through close relationships, movement, sensory exploration, repetition and play. Using responsive, in-the-moment practice, they tune into each child's individual cues, interests and fascinations, providing experiences that reflect their unique stage of development and emerging abilities.
At Blooming Kids, secure and trusting relationships are at the heart of everything they do. Practitioners take time to truly know each child and work closely with families to provide consistent, responsive care. They support children's emotional wellbeing, communication, physical development and growing independence while providing the comfort and reassurance they need throughout these important early years.
The nursery provides a warm, peaceful, and engaging environment where babies and toddlers have the time and freedom to develop at their own pace. Through loving relationships, meaningful interactions, and opportunities to explore, they help children build confidence, curiosity, and the strong foundations they need for future learning and development.

About this price
How funding is applied, how the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- Working parents of children aged 9 months to 2 years can usually claim up to 30 funded hours a week. The working-parent hours depend on each parent meeting the minimum earnings rules and earning under £100,000 a year. This nursery stretches funded hours across 51 weeks of the year. You've selected 30 funded hours.
- This nursery applies up to 10 funded hours per day, stretched across 51 weeks of the year. With your selected funding, 22.4 hours are covered each week. Hours beyond this, including the early and late parts of the day, are charged at the standard rate.
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

I'm so glad I chose Blooming Kids nursery for my child. My little one was only 14 months old when he started going this nursery and it was really difficult first few weeks for him to get settled. But, all the staffs from baby bud class has been very nice, nurturing and professionals. They made LO journey pleasant and now, he is thriving and loves going nursery every time.

I have two children attending the setting, in different rooms. My children are two very different characters my daughter is bubbly and easy going and my son has really struggled with the adjustment to nursery.
The staff in both settings for both children have been nothing short of AMAZING! So supportive to us as a family in home life when we've and in nursery. I couldn't imagine my children attending any other setting.
Any issues we've had have been openly communicated and quickly assessed and fixed. The communication between family and the setting is brilliant. All in all a 10/10 experience and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so pleased that both children settled well, I will ensure this lovely message is passed onto staff.

The staff are all so kind and caring and it's apparent that the children are their number one priority. I especially love how all the children and staff know each other, due to its open plan layout. Everyone makes an effort with my son, regardless of the room they are in!

My name is Ami-Rose Spring, and I am the Nursery Manager and SENCO. I hold a Level 5 qualification in childcare and have 8 years of experience within the early years sector.
I am deeply committed to supporting children’s learning, development and wellbeing. I have a particular passion for the Montessori and Curiosity Approaches, which reflect my belief that children learn most effectively through meaningful, hands-on experiences. I value creating nurturing and engaging environments that encourage curiosity, independence and confidence.
I am equally passionate about building positive relationships with parents and working in partnership with families to ensure every child feels valued, included and supported to reach their full potential.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns or would simply like to have a chat. I am always happy to offer support, guidance or further information.

I’m the friendly face and voice at the heart of our nursery, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes as the backbone of our daily operations. As a mum to a little girl myself, I know firsthand how important it is to feel confident, supported, and reassured when choosing childcare.
From guiding you through your very first enquiry and helping your child settle in, to taking the stress out of funding claims, I’m here to make your family’s journey as seamless as possible. I love stepping in wherever I’m needed to support our team and ensure our nursery is a warm, organised home away from home for your little ones.

Hi, I’m Stacey! I’m Level 3 qualified and really enjoy being part of the team at Blooming Kids. I’m passionate about creating fun and engaging experiences where children can learn, explore and feel confident being themselves.
I especially love messy play, arts and crafts and getting stuck in alongside the children - the messier, the better! I also enjoy creating exciting activities that encourage little ones to use their imagination, explore their creativity and develop new skills through play.
I love watching children grow in confidence and being part of those little moments that can make such a big difference. I aim to ensure every child feels happy, safe, supported and excited to come into nursery each day.

I’m Katrina, and I’m thrilled to be working with your children at Blooming Kids.
I'm a proud mum of three, so I bring plenty of hands-on experience and patience to the setting!
I have over 15 years' experience working within special education, and I am also trained in Makaton. You’ll usually find me getting stuck into messy arts and crafts projects or heading outside for outdoor play.
My goal is to make sure your little ones have fun, feel loved, and come home with big smiles (and maybe a little bit of paint on their hands!)

As a mum of two, I know first-hand how important it is to feel confident in the care your child receives. My early years journey began at Blooming Kids from 2018 to 2019, and I was delighted to return to the team in March.
Currently working toward my Level 3 Early Years Educator qualification, I bring both formal training and real parenting experience to the room. I’m dedicated to providing a safe, warm, and playful environment where your little ones can learn, grow, and thrive every day.

Hi, I’m Ashleigh! I’m 22, Level 3 qualified, and I’ve been working with babies for 6 years now. Honestly, there’s nothing better than watching our littlest ones figure out the world around them.
You’ll usually find me covered in paint or spaghetti! I’m a massive fan of baby-friendly messy play—whether we’re squishing around in edible sensory trays, finger painting, or making a huge splash at the water table. I firmly believe the best days are the ones where we get stuck in, have a laugh, and go home needing a good wash!
