Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two children have been going to this nursery for the last 3 years and we're really happy with it. The staff are friendly and the kids love them, they're always happy to go in and regularly come out with stories of the fun they've had. The food is healthy and they always eat a lot. The classes are
small which I really like as it means the teachers can focus on each child more easily. No complaints.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My two year old son started nursery at Catford Bloomers when he was 11 months old and we have been so impressed since the start. He loves nursery, the staff are warm, kind and trustworthy, they obviously go the extra mile to make it a welcoming and fun environment. It is such a relief to know that when
I drop him off on the way to work that he is happy, safe and well looked after! The app is great for receiving updates throughout the day. The food is fresh and varied. The nursery is fairly small, so Artie easily made close friends and we feel connected to other parents and the community. It is is close to Catford and Catford Bridge stations for easy travel to central London. We would highly recommend Catford Bloomers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is such a lovely and welcoming setting! Both of my children (aged 2y and 4y) attend, and our eldest has been here for almost three years. The classes are small, so all the children know each other, and the atmosphere feels like one big family. The staff are incredibly caring and professional, and
it's clear they genuinely love what they do. They understand and support each child's individual needs and are always there for the families too. Communication with parents is very good, and my children come home happy and excited to share stories about their day. We are very happy with our experience and would highly recommend this nursery!

Our son has been attending bloomers nursery since June and we've loved our experience with the nursery. The communication is excellent, the staff really supported us with the settling in period for our son and we felt at ease very quickly leaving him at the nursery. We love the fact all the staff have
taken the time to get to know our son. The handovers at the end of the day are always so thorough and all the staff are so friendly. We especially appreciate our sons key worker / deputy manager Jacqueline who is so brilliant. Couldn't recommend bloomers enough !

Review from Lakshmi N (Mother of Child) published on 30 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has been going to Bloomers since she was 2 and we are delighted with how she's thrived at the nursery. They have an excellent team who are compassionate, fair and creative. My daughter is now in the pre-school room and they are gearing the kids up for reception with activities that will
help them adjust to the new setting. I'm so impressed with my daughter's progression and confidence, and this is down to how well they get to know each child. Additionally, I love how they celebrate diverse events, interests and occasions.
The next step will be for my son to join the baby room in Jan 2026, and I'm confident he'll enjoy his time there too.

My son was at Bloomers Day Nursery for a year before starting Primary School. The staff are really great and caring. Always willing and ready to answer any questions you might have and readily give updates to the parents. Activity variety was great and the kids had enough space to play. The app in place
also made it really easy to communicate with staff as needed.

Review from Richard B (Father of Child) published on 24 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A gem of a nursery! Our child has been at Bloomers Nursery for just over a year and she really enjoys it. The staff are very caring and attentive, they are invested in the wellbeing and the development of the children in their care. We get frequent updates both via the Famly app, as well as at drop
off and pick up times.
The rooms are all clean, bright, well equipped and well maintained. There is an outdoor space that the children love to spend time in.
I do actively recommend this nursery to other parents in our area looking for care for their children, compared to our experiences elsewhere, I feel this is a loving, supportive and well-rounded setting for those in their care.

We absolutely loved Bloomers and our baby loved it too. Very caring staff, lovely setting and just a perfect nursery. The communication with the app is just amazing and much better than most nurseries we’ve experienced. I’d recommend it to all parents of little ones.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.903)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.903) out of 10 for Bloomers Day Nursery - Catford is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.819 for Bloomers Day Nursery - Catford is calculated as follows: ( (59 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.819
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.084 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bloomers Day Nursery - Catford is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 number of registered child places is 12.4. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.4 = 0.484
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
