Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery

For the last two years, Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery has looked after, cared for, loved, laughed with and helped to develop our daughter into a confident, independent, happy child who absolutely loves coming to nursery. Couldn't wish for a better place for our girly. Thanks to the manager and her outstanding team at Blossoms on the Common for giving the best nursery experience for the kids in our community.

Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery has made my daughter's transition to nursery nothing short of a dream. I was so anxious about returning to work and sending my daughter to nursery two days a week but they have been simply amazing. They have clearly invested time to create a wonderful relationship with her as she smiles from ear to ear every morning when she sees the girls at drop-off. They do lots of activities, send regular updates and pictures which provides such reassurance - especially in the first couple of weeks. They also regularly go out to the park and to see the horses nearby and I have huge trust and belief that my daughter's life is enriched by being there. She's been given the freedom to explore, build relationships, explore new foods and tastes, making me much more confident at home and establishing a new routine. I now feel so at ease taking her knowing she is so well looked after and having the best time. I simply can't put my thanks into words!

Our firstborn has been going to Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery since he was 7 months old and he is just finishing his last term in sunflowers before going to reception - they have only ever supported, developed his growth and encouraged him in every single way. He has established good relationships and is a delight to be around. Staff are always supportive and encouraging of children and do become like part of the family, communication is always top-tier. The staff always go above and beyond and we love the family days that they organise to celebrate our children, we have just enrolled our second child from the age of 7 months to help with development - we really wouldn't choose anywhere else for our children and always recommend them to people looking for a caring nursery.

Couldn’t be happier with our experience of Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery. Our daughter has been there coming up to a year, starting in Seedlings and moving up to Sweet Peas more recently. The team go over and above to support the development of the children with fun, interesting activities. Lovely touches as well, such as photos of family in the room etc., and the rooms themselves are lovely and homely. Our daughter can be shy going to others but has always been happy going into Blossoms and to her key worker which really puts my mind at ease. Not a bad word to say.

Absolutely the best nursery I viewed. All the staff are so lovely, kind and supportive. The children’s welfare is paramount. The nursery setting is like home from home it’s so comforting for the children and loads of activities to do! Very pleased with my son’s time there and he loves the home-cooked food. 10/10.

My son has been attending Blossoms for a month now, he only does 2 days but has come on leaps and bounds. He is such a special little boy with a rare birth defect that he doesn’t let define him. The staff at Blossoms are so loving and encouraging towards him, he is so happy there that when I pick him up he frowns at me! Blossoms is such an amazing nursery, I would recommend it to anyone.

We absolutely love Blossoms. From when our daughter was seven months old and we viewed many nurseries and childminders, Blossoms was the place I felt happy with. My daughter is now two and loves attending nursery.

My son has been attending Blossoms since September this year and, ever since day 1, we have felt that our son is in such safe hands. The staff have been incredible at ensuring my son settled in well and, when he did become unsettled, they would update me on how he was throughout the day. He has such a wonderful relationship with his key workers and it’s lovely dropping him off with a smile on his face. Blossoms apply the curiosity approach and it is something that my son loves - he has even begun exploring more at home! Blossoms use an app that allows quick communication to happen. It is wonderful to see how much he has slept and eaten. I always look forward to seeing photos and videos of my son at nursery. It’s such a relieving feeling to be able to drop my son off at nursery knowing he’s happy, safe and well looked after whilst I work. I would highly recommend Blossoms to anyone looking for a nursery - I already have been recommending it!

Lovely nursery, the staff are kind and caring, and the setting is calm and homely. My daughter loves going in the morning, and they have supported her transition to nursery life beautifully. I cannot speak more highly of the sunflowers room and their play-led approach to preschool learning; they somehow manage to incorporate learning whilst allowing the children to play and explore naturally, and it works wonderfully.

To anyone considering Blossoms as their nursery, it is the safest and best choice to make.

My child has been attending for over a year now and he loves it! He moved from seedlings into sweet peas in June and the transition has been so smooth! He has loved his key person in both rooms and has built incredible bonds with them both. The first thing he does when he goes in is look for them to have a cuddle. He has lots of fun and eats well! We can see such a big difference in his development. We speak a different language at home and the nursery encourages this and uses Alexa to help him. The app is really good at keeping us updated with his daily activities.

I can’t speak highly enough of Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery. Our little boy thrived under their care and our little girl is now following in his footsteps and absolutely loves her nursery days. The support they have given to our family at quite a tough time has been so very appreciated. Thank you all.

Thank you to Blossoms staff, especially Sunflowers for everything you've done to make our son enjoy nursery again.

I can see the progress in his development already! He has so much fun, makes lots of new friends, and certainly eats well. The thought that goes into each activity and each occasion is out of this world; it really is the best! My little one will be with Blossoms up until he starts school, so he has a long way to go and a lot of fun ahead of him! Exciting times. Thank you, as ever, Blossoms.

The staff are always very welcoming and helpful.

My son has been attending here since May 2022 and we have been so impressed ever since day one. The staff have been amazing with him - he has built such great relationships with them all (especially his key worker). My son seems to love the curiosity approach and has developed wonderful ways of playing with real-life items, lose parts and loves playing in the garden. The communication between nursery and home is great - I always know exactly what my son has eaten/slept and love to see the photos and videos from all of the activities! The food menu is so varied and has really helped my son like new flavours. I can't thank Blossoms enough for making it so easy to leave my son and go to work, with no worries whatsoever. I would very highly recommend Blossoms to anyone looking for a nursery!

My daughter has been attending Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery for almost 6 months now. She loves her class (seedlings) and can't wait to see the girls on a Monday morning. She always comes home so happy and has developed so much since starting nursery. The staff are all wonderful at what they do and keep us updated regularly throughout the day when my daughter is there. We couldn't wish for a better nursery!

My little girl started here last June and absolutely loves it! Her development has come on leaps and bounds since she has been here, she has confidence mixing with other children. I love the fact the nursery feels so homely so it is like home from home for my daughter. The app they use is good to see daily updates and what food she has. The meals provided are all nutritional and have a wide variety! All the staff are so friendly and informative. It is out of my way to bring my daughter here but is so worth it!

The staff here absolutely need to be mentioned. A parent leaving their child somewhere new with strangers is obviously daunting but it really didn't last long for us here. All staff are so welcoming, calm and enthusiastic - they make you feel like you've known them for ages! Daily updates on the app keep you in the loop, involved in children's progress/interests and generally make you feel at ease. So glad we were lucky to get a place. We can't wait to see how much our son continues to grow being here. Thank you to all staff!

My son has just started going to the nursery and is always happy going there. We have lots of updates and he is always tired when he leaves after having so much fun all day. We are updated with what he eats and nappy changes.
