Review from Emily D (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our family moved to Catford in 2025 and I had a look around every nursery close to us and Bloomers by far were the best in our eyes. Clean, comfortable, spacious and smiley staff members. our daughter and son settled in very quickly. I will never forget when leaving the kids for their first full day; Yemi the manager gave me tissues, a coffee sachet, a snack and a poem about how my children were in safe hands, I found that very sweet. Our daughter had a graduation party last year and the staff really pushed the boat out in decoration/ outfits/ speeches / videos on the projector and food for everyone. Our son really loves it at Bloomers and the staff has remained the same since the kids began, which really helps to build connections. The staff are all up on their safe guarding too and make sure weather wise the kids have everything they need. Zero complaints from us.

Review from Aurelija S (Mother of Child) published on 15 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Great nursery - very convenient, as it was close to home. Our child attended five days a week starting at 10 months old until 4 years old and always went with joy, quickly making many wonderful friends. The only downside is the high staff turnover, although both the current and former teachers have been excellent, and this never had a negative impact on our child.

Reply from Paul Seni, Administrative Manager at Bloomers Day Nursery - Catford

Review from G S (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

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.

Review from Maria G (Mother of Child) published on 3 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Overall Experience

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
Overall Experience
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.

Dear Lakshmi,

Review from Zainab A (Mother of Child) published on 9 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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
Overall Experience
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.
