Review from S L (Mother of Child) published on 24 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend Blooming Futures to anyone who is looking for a setting where their child will be excellently cared for and educated in an enjoyable and varied way.
The staff are brilliant and the resources are fantastic.
The children enjoy a variety of activities during their day, including
baking, sports, phonics, reading stories, imaginative play and sometimes trips to the local park or nearby countryside to see the animals.
The staff provide detailed feedback and updates to parents which includes daily photographs and key information about what your child has eaten. The food is healthy and my sons eat well there so it must be delicious too!
We cannot thank the staff enough for all that they have done for our son (who has been at the setting for over two years) and all they continue to do for our baby. Our son has thrived at nursery and has learnt so much - the staff have put a huge effort into helping him learn and develop. Thank you!

Review from C A (Mother of Child) published on 5 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has been at the nursery since the day it opened and has just had his final day due to starting school. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. All staff are so kind, caring and attentive. They have always offered a yummy and nutritious menu, so many fun and educational activities. They encourage
wonderful friendships between the children. Safety is paramount from entry and exit, to any daily occurrences. All staff go over and above to ensure the happiness of your child and reassurance for you, as a parent. My son loved each and every member of staff and I trust them to love and care for my child when I cannot. Five-star team! Thank you to all of you.

Overview of Review Score

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.844 for Blooming Futures Daycare is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.844
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blooming Futures Daycare is based on 23 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 26 number of registered child places is 5.2, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
