Hi,


I am trying to decide between Blossoms Montessori (ED) or Rose House Montessori (FH) for my 2 year old to start in September. I need to decide by tomorrow and am totally stuck.


Blossoms is cheaper, a bit smaller, and closer (15 minutes walk). They seem lovely but are a bit scruffier than Rose House, and they don't seem to have Montessori accreditation (although the Montessori itself isn't such a big thing for me). Hours will be 9-4. Ofsted is Good.


Rose House is very impressive, with proper Montessori accreditation, very clean and well run seeming. Ofsted is Outstanding. Its more expensive and further avay though (30 minutes walk). Hours will be 9-12 initially then 9-4 after he turns 3.


Any advice or experience of either of these nurseries?


Many thanks

My son is at blossoms and my daughter will start in sept, it is a lovely nursery, they do Montessori the proper way and we couldn't be happier, for us the smallness and nurturing environment is key and the teachers do regular Montessori training, what accreditation were you looking for? If you would like to pm me specific questions, I would be happy to answer, I would not be sending my daughter if I didn't think it was excellent.
Both my daughters were at Blossoms and they/we all loved it. Couldn't have wished for a better start for them. Very nurturing and I was hugely impressed with the great leaps and bounds both kids made in their learning while they were there. This is a few years ago now (my youngest is now in Year 2) but they both still miss it!

    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
