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


K

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!

      Interesting, because I am finding it next to impossible to get an appointment at Tessa Jowell.

      Yes, I live Colyton/Dovedale area and lots of swifts usually.  I'd love a swift nesting box too.

      There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.

      I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...
