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!

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
