Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child started at Little bloom beginning of January 2026. He has additional needs and a medical condition. Little blooms have made me feel so comfortable leaving my child in their care. They communicate really well and my child has settled in extremely well and has made a good bond with his key worker
and some other staff in the room. The nursery has a homely feel and they are all friendly and able to speak to anyone about anything. My child can be very nervous around new people and they made him so welcome he now doesnt like to leave at pick up time because his having too much fun.

We are really happy with this nurser so far. My daughter is 3 and has the best time! The staff are kind, patient and genuinely care about the children. There are always engaging, age-appropriate activities that keep her interested, and she especially loves the outdoor walks and time spent exploring
outside. She's grown so much in confidence since starting and always comes home chatting about what she's been up to. It feels like a safe, nurturing and fun place for her to learn and play. Thank you.

Our little boy has been with Little bloom since the start of January and I can't praise the ladies enough for how welcoming, loving and caring they are. The nursery is a lovely space and I really love the regular updates on the app, especially photos :) The ladies go above and beyond to make our little
one feel safe and secure during the day and everyone is able to give me an update demonstrating such a tight nit team. Recently they made him a cake for his first birthday which was such a lovely personal gesture which we appreciated greatly. I highly recommend this nursery to anyone

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Little Bloom nursery. From day one, the staff have been incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. My little one is in the Baby room and the staff is so lovely. He is settled in so well, which is a true reflection of the nurturing environment they provide.
The communication is excellent - we're always kept informed about daily activities, meals, naps, and development milestones. It gives us real peace of mind knowing our child is in such capable and loving hands.
They do share pictures of my little one playing and enjoying which is such a relief for any parent!
The nursery is clean, well-organised, and full of engaging activities that support learning and development through play.
We are so grateful to the entire team and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm, supportive, and professional setting for their children.
Very Happy mum who is able to work knowing her little one-is well looked after

My son has been going to Little Bloom nursery since beginning of Jan and he loves it there. He has settled in well and pretty quick, thanks to all the staff in Little Bloom for making his journey comfortable. The care provided at this nursery is commendable. The staff are very polite and is always available
to give reassurance during drop off and to provide feedback during pick up. We really like the procedure where they post day to day activities (both photos and videos) that my son does on the nurseries app. Overall we are very happy with the care Little Bloom provides to our son and would highly recommend it to any new parents looking to send their little one to this nursery.

We are very happy with this nursery. It was our child's first experience in a nursery setting at 2years old - she's attached to her parents. The staff were incredibly supportive and patient, helping her settle in gently and making sure she always felt safe and secure.
After a short period of time,
we noticed a big improvement in her independence, especially with eating. We have also seen great progress in her English - our main language at home is Polish, so this has been especially reassuring for us.
Overall, we are extremely happy that she joined this nursery. Most importantly, she enjoys going there, which says everything. We would highly recommend it to everyone.

My son hasn't been at the nursery very long but I can honestly say we have had the best experience here. My son was a year old when he started his induction days and that process really helped him settle as he doesn't like to leave our side, but the attention to detail they put in to get all the information
to make sure he needs and routine is met was amazing! I also loved how the app the nursery uses allows me to follow his day when I'm at work. They provide updates from nappy changes to what food he has eaten and not eaten and pictures of his day which makes me feel really at ease that his settled and loving his time there! I honestly cannot rate this place enough for mums looking for a nursery that really focuses on your child!

I can't recommend Little Bloom highly enough! As a parent, finding a nurturing and engaging environment for my child was a top priority, and this nursery has exceeded my expectations. The staff is incredibly caring and attentive, creating a warm atmosphere that feels like a second home.
The activities
are well-planned and stimulate both learning and creativity, which my child absolutely loves. I appreciate how they communicate with parents and keep us updated on our child's progress.
Thank you, Little Bloom,for providing such a wonderful space for our little ones to grow and thrive!

This nursery has been absolutely fantastic for my son. The team are friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. The environment is warm, engaging, and well thought out, and my son has come on leaps and bounds since starting here.
For a new nursery, they have set the bar very

Little Bloom Nursery has been an incredible place for my nonverbal daughter. In a short time, we have seen real progress in her confidence, engagement, and the ways she expresses herself. She comes home calmer and happier, clearly benefiting from the nursery's caring and structured environment. The
staff are patient, understanding, and truly committed to learning how she communicates, making thoughtful adjustments that help her feel secure and included. Their daily updates and genuine support mean so much to our family. I am very grateful we found this nursery, and I am excited for my other daughter to join soon

I honestly couldn't be happier with Little Bloom Nursery and the amazing care they provide for my son. From the very first day, the staff made both of us feel so welcome and at ease. They took the time to understand his personality, interests, and routines, which made the transition so smooth - he settled

The team at Little Bloom are truly exceptional - caring, patient, and full of energy. They create such a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels valued and encouraged. My son comes home smiling and excited from the fun activities and creative crafts to the outdoor play and story time.
I'm always impressed by how well-organised and clean the nursery is, and how thoughtfully the rooms are set up to inspire curiosity and learning. The communication with parents is fantastic too - we receive regular updates, photos, and notes about his progress, which really shows how much care and attention they put into each child.

We are new parents at this nursery and our experience has been really positive. The settling-in process was handled brilliantly by the team, which made a huge difference for both us and our child. We've been delighted to see our kid settle in so quickly and happily. The staff are truly fantastic; they
are all very professional, approachable, accommodative and clearly passionate about their work. The nursery itself has a lovely, caring atmosphere with a decent range of activities. The communication is excellent, and we are delighted to receive updates about child's activities and progress throughout the day. We couldn't be happier with our decision.

My child started with Little Bloom Nursery in October, being a new nursery to the area I looked around multiple nurseries to find the right nursery for my child and one I felt comfortable with, I viewed a total of 7 local nursery's , but I felt drawn back to Little Bloom after each nursery I visited.
Little bloom is surprisingly huge inside with plenty of space for children to play in and out! My child settled well, after the first two weeks she feels totally at home! The staff were great with settlIng my child into the sessions, they worked with her and now my child goes in and is excited each day! The activities are great! We had a face painter join for Halloween as a treat for the children! I can't fault the staff and the nursery, it's clean and welcoming! Although only 1.5 months in we are so happy with our choice of nursery and have already seen my child blossom!

I honestly can't say enough good things! From the very first day, the staff made us feel so welcomed and at ease. It's never easy leaving your little one in someone else's care, but everyone here goes above and beyond to make the children (and parents!) feel comfortable and loved.
My child absolutely
loves going every morning - they run to the door with a huge smile, which tells me everything I need to know. The teachers are so warm, patient, and genuinely care about each child. They take the time to get to know every personality and make sure each kid feels seen and special.
I also really appreciate how communicative they are. I get daily updates and photos, and it's such a relief to know my child is having fun, learning, and being cared for so well throughout the day. The activities they plan are creative, educational, and full of joy - from art projects to outdoor play to story time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for Little Bloom Nursery & Pre-school is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  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 4.931 for Little Bloom Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.931
  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 Little Bloom Nursery & Pre-school 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 79 number of registered child places is 15.8, 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.
