About Us

Our story, Vision, and Ethos

Our Philosophy

Building a love for learning through play

We believe that nursery is more than daycare – it’s the start of your child’s education, preparation for school, and the foundation for a strong and healthy life ahead.

Working with early years experts, we’ve developed a teaching philosophy based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum that blends influences from Maria Montessori into everything we do.

Blossom Tree is a nurturing environment where children can explore, learn and develop their interests through play.

OUR MISSION

To elevate the learning journey of each child to give the best start to life and maximise their potential.

I truly believe that a Montessori education and environment gives children all the tools they need to be school ready. Children really excel when we make learning fun and every experience should be a learning experience!

Blossom Tree Montessori: Blossom App - Elevating Early Years
Blossom App: Elevating Early Years

Having dedicated herself to Early Years since 2010, Sara worked her way up into different roles in local Montessori nurseries. She has a passion for Montessori education and giving every child the best possible start in life.

In 2017, our three directors, Sara, Shyam, and Ash came together to revolutionise Nursery Management with the creation of the Blossom App.

Sara’s wealth of knowledge helped to develop an App for both nurseries and parents, streamlining operations and saving valuable time for nurseries. In 2023, the Blossom App was successfully acquired by Five Arrows, a Rothschild Private Equity fund.

Blossom Tree Montessori: Introducing Blossom Tree Montessori
Introducing Blossom Tree Montessori

In July 2019, Sara, Shyam and Ash decided to extend the Blossom brand and opened Blossom Tree Montessori in Northwood Hills.

Starting off as a 65 place nursery across 3 classrooms, we went on to have 2 incredible expansions resulting in the addition of 2 extra classrooms and an increased capacity of 110 spaces.

Blossom Tree Montessori: Expanding our nurseries and community
Expanding our nurseries and community

Recognising the growing demand for childcare in the area, we discovered the beautiful barn in Eastcote so we could grow our Blossom Tree family.

In July 2023, we proudly opened the doors of our new nursery and have welcomed many new families through the doors since.

We have a fantastic team who is ever expanding and we really pride ourselves on our robust recruitment and onboarding process, enabling us to have a really strong and highly skilled staff team.

In 2023, the Blossom App was successfully acquired by Five Arrows, a Rothschild Private Equity fund.

Our Core Values

We aim to provide a nurturing, safe and fun environment helping children to settle in and be encouraged for their development.

Promoting Independence

Our educational approach encourages children to develop practical skills, to try things for themselves and become self-motivated learners.

Encouraging Creativity

By continuously providing the resources children need for creative expression, we inspire them to find their passions and explore their ideas.

Developing Confidence

Montessori empowers children to build their confidence by creating an environment that supports them to practice and master their abilities on a day-to-day basis.

What parents say

If you are looking for a daycare where your child not only is looked after, entertained and challenged educationally but they are also treated like a part of a family, this is a place for you.

Sylwia Odedra, Mum at Eastcote

The whole team are incredibly nurturing right from the baby room all the way up to bumblebees. The updates on the app throughout the day are really reassuring, particularly in those first few weeks.
