Black Country nurseries blossoming as they are named in the top 20 nationwide

Two day nurseries in Oldbury and Walsall have been recognised as two of the top 20 in the West Midlands by parents.

Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery in Pelsall and Blossoms at Bloxcidge House in Oldbury came in the top 20 out of 1,427 early years settings in the region.

The awards, presented by daynurseries.co.uk, the UK’s leading nursery search and comparison site, are based entirely on feedback from families and carers whose children attend the settings. They highlight nurseries that consistently deliver high standards of care and education.

Nurseries were assessed across a wide range of criteria, including overall standard, facilities and outdoor space, learning and development, resources and equipment, care and activities, staff, food and nutrition, management, cleanliness, safeguarding, and value for money.

Across the UK, there are more than 15,000 nurseries employing over 400,000 people, supporting around one million children aged from three months to five years.

The website, which lists all registered nurseries in the UK, is a valuable resource for parents choosing childcare. It features verified reviews from families alongside detailed information on facilities, fees, and services to help parents and guardians choose a nursery.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager at daynurseries.co.uk said: “We would like to congratulate Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery in Pelsall and Blossoms at Bloxcidge House in Oldbury on being rated by parents as two of the top nurseries in the West Midlands.

“It is a fantastic achievement to be valued so highly by the families and carers of children attending the setting.

“These awards represents valuable recognition from parents and carers that the nurseries provide an excellent standard of care in a nurturing environment.

“High-quality early years education plays a vital role in supporting children’s development and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

“We hope these awards provide helpful guidance for parents so they can choose the right nursery for their child.”

Michelle Broadhurst, area manager for Blossoms on the Common Day Nursery and Blossoms at Bloxcidge House, said: “We are delighted to receive this award and could not be prouder of our teams.

Our nursery managers play a key role in inspiring staff and maintaining high standards throughout the settings. Their commitment to creating a warm, welcoming environment for children and families is at the heart of everything we do.”
