Blossom Years Pre-School, Downham

This is the place where you want your child to start their education. My 2 boys went there started at age of 2 and they were so happy to go there everyday. The teachers are absolutely stars. They help with any issue you may have, helped with nappy training, fussy eating any problem we've had. Always there for you to give you advice. My boys have learned so much plus they do French and sports. They made me feel 100% sure my babies were safe and happy. They always call if child feel unwell or bump into a friend while running around in playground. They've brought home lovely cards, decorations, paintings for all the occasions. There is an online book where you log in to see pictures, movies and comments. 100 % recommended

Was not impressed with this nursery at all, which was surprising because they received an Outstanding from Ofsted a couple years ago. Their communication with me the parent was poor. During the tour they said they write notes and take photos of the children as an observation, which they then feedback to parents regularly. For the 1 month my child went there I didn't get a single feedback on her progress unless I asked. But it was difficult to ask, as drop and pick up was always so chaotic and the teachers were always in such a rush. So, basically I never knew what my child did at nursery, or what they have learnt unless they bought a painting home. The fact that my daughter cried every morning saying she did not want to go nursery made me concerned. The nursery she is at now, she is excited to go every day, which is what you want to hear. There were a couple other issues but to complex to explain in this review.
