Blossom as a tool for the educational process of children in their early year

PROS

Blossom is an educational software that allows to participate at a distance from everything that implies the educational process in a nursery for children no older than 5 years. It is a simple to use software that provides access to all the moments that the infant experiences during the early years through continuous updates and photo galleries. All this information is obtained through a click. For the owners or managers of a daycare center, it significantly reduces everything that involves paperwork and administration. It also allows a constant observation to the staff. Blossom allows easy to carry all records that implies the operation of a daycare

CONS

Blossom is an excellent software that can be mentioned very few weaknesses that can only be applied in a specific region and therefore limited to the rest of the day of kindergarten Although your price is accessible can be an important economic load for users part

Your Childcare and Early Education setting can Blossom too with Blossom Educational

Absolutely amazing!

PROS

The parent app as well as the easy user friendly software was the instantly noticeable thing about Blossom. This coupled with it being a powerful all in one Nursery Management Software with Learning Journal capabilities is amazing. The customer service is always exemplary, friendly and helpful. In the two years we've been using Blossom the features added have made the product even more appealing and user friendly.

CONS

The only thing that would be on our wish list would be a meal register.

Reason for choosing Blossom Educational

For the users of the product we wanted some hands on customer service and onboarding support and at the time Blossom was the one that made us feel confident this is what we would receive. As well as this we were made to feel like part of the family straight away.

Reasons for switching to Blossom Educational

Abacus had become stale and with little change in 8 years we started to look at other all in one systems for our group. This coupled with some data glitches and invoice run issues we knew it was time to move on.

A new system with a lot of potential if the right reports are added.

PROS

The system has lots of potential to be good.

CONS

After being a first steps user for 20 + years it has been tricky to not have all the detailed reports I am use to having. A lot more reports need to be printable and the occupancy reports needs a lot of upgrading.

Reasons for switching to Blossom Educational

A well rounded app for nursery and parents/carers, interactive, reliable and a lifeline everyday

Amazing customer service and really happy with the overall product.

PROS

The ease of use . I can get to most of what I need access to without any issues. I like the layout of my dashboard as it has everything I need to know as manager on a day to day basis at the touch of a button. I like the parent communication and how easy it is to add an observation, diary feed.

CONS

Sometimes, if something is updated it causes a glitch in another part of the software. I have found over the years, it great, but it’s like octopus legs, each one fabulous, but if one is updated, it doesn’t communicate with the other legs causing something g else not to work.
