One of the worst places to work - ABA Tutor Blooming Tree Employee Review

Ive never been refused, or couldn't find help when struggling to help a child in my care. While initial training is limited, it is a job mastered through practise, with help available every step of the way. The working environment is very diverse, making it easy to find people to fit in with. People at Blooming tree come from all walks of life, and various backgrounds.

Pay is relatively low, but it is a trainee Job. You are paid financially and through training that can be helpful when applying to MSc courses in the future in related fields.

The children Some staff members are amazing Nothing else

I do not recommend working at Blooming Tree (Easy Steps Ltd). The organisation is run entirely by family members, which creates a conflict of interest at every level. Decisions are based on favouritism, not merit, and there’s no real HR accountability. Staff on work visas are treated especially poorly and often have their immigration status held over them, it’s incredibly exploitative. They are expected to tolerate mistreatment because management knows they can’t easily leave. The company hires individuals with minimal training or qualifications, offers little to no proper induction, then blames staff when things inevitably go wrong. British employees are generally treated more leniently, while international staff are criticised, micromanaged, or even threatened with visa consequences. To make things worse, most of the glowing online reviews are fake — written by the owner’s family members and children to cover up the real issues. Legitimate reviews from parents and staff that highlight problems are quietly removed. If you value integrity, fairness, and genuine child-focused work, look elsewhere. This place is driven by control, fear, and appearances, not professionalism or compassion.
