What we do
and why you need us
Empowerment, confidence, growth
Our Mission
Our aim is to empower parents and help them to feel confident in helping their child to reach their full potential.
Parents are often the piece in the puzzle that makes the most difference, but so often they don’t realise it, or know how to best help their child.
That’s where Blossom comes in….
Blossom provides sound, level headed, factual and research based advice for parents who don’t want to read a whole book! Parents who are busy and want to get the best out their time with their children.
‘There’s stuff all over the internet, but parents need a one stop place which combines the teachers and parent’s perspective and helps you navigate your child’s learning path. A place where you can find ideas that work, not just the ones that look pretty!'
Sarah Featherstone
Reception Teacher, parenting expert and Blossom's founder
Ten minutes together is all it takes
By supporting you in maximising your time together, Blossom membership embeds habits and behaviours that will accelerate your child's life chances for their future.
Blossom gives you fun, effective, easy ways to build brain power and good learning habits. Activities and hacks which fit into your busy family life.
No more trawling the internet - Our activities are:
Hand picked by teachers and specialists
Tried and tested with 100s of real children
Designed to mirror your child's learning in school
And they work!
Some activities on Instagram and Pinterest look pretty, but they have no built in learning benefits. In order to make sure play has maximum learning built in, you need to know what you’re doing. You can be sure when you choose a Blossom activity, that it has been designed by teachers based on years of experience working with young children and that it will work.
Parents, School, Blossom, and at the centre, your child. Growing stronger, more confident, more secure in their learning and building learning behaviours that will last them their whole life.
When we all work together to support your child, we can achieve amazing things!
WHY DO YOU NEED BLOSSOM?
Children have been going to school for ages without Blossom - Why do we need it now? The truth is your child will be OK without Blossom.
But is OK good enough?
Over recent years there have been changes to the primary curriculum which have increased the amount that teachers are required to cover in school. This has put huge pressure on the ability for schools to do things like consolidating learning (practising).
Schools do a fantastic job at equipping children for life, but what they need is parents to help their children make links in their learning and practise their skills at home.
Empowered and knowledgable parents are the key to success and a win/win for everyone. You win by feeling more involved in your child’s education, the school win by having proactive parents reinforcing at home what’s happening in school, but most of all, your child wins by gaining all the skills they need to be confident and successful in life!
They know how important engaged parents are and that teachers just don’t have time in the day to develop those relationships as much as they’d like.
So Blossom has been developed, by teachers, to help strengthen the role of parents in their children’s education and in school. To help you enjoy working with your child and their school, and build your confidence and their learning power for life.
