Day Nurseries Owned by Mama Bear's Day Nursery Ltd

A special mention to Josh, the manager, who has made a huge positive difference since joining. His leadership has really helped improve the nursery, and my son is thriving under the fantastic care of the team. All of the staff are a credit to Mama Bear's. Thank you for everything you do!

As for Manager Josh, you have been AMAZING! You have been so lovely, bubbly, so helpful and really kind to my child. Thank you all again for making my daughters experience of her first nursery she has Loved every second of it.

My son absolutely loves spending time at nursery. He used to struggle but thanks to the staff who have took the time to understand him and his needs have made it easier as a parent. My son has come on leaps and bounds in many ways. The management and staff are all hands down amazing.

Since her very first settling in session she has enjoyed and thrived at nursery. Its always been a positive experience and she has learnt and developed so much and gained in confidence and developing her character and its so lovely to watch her grow and that is thanks to all the wounderful staff always so kind helpful and friendly and always accomdating and understanding and the staff work so hard. Its really appreciated all the work you do so thank you and its do reassuring to know your child is in a wounderful safe space and in the best care.

Both my sons have attended this nursery and I cannot fault it. The staff are amazing and well attentive. It is so nice to be able to drop off my children and know they are in the safest hands. As he has got older and progressed through the rooms, all the staff have been warm and approachable and my son has always enjoyed being around them. Would highly recommend this setting to anyone looking.

My son loves going to Mama Bears nursery. He currently attends the baby unit and the staff there are great. He has come a long way since starting at the nursery, they do a great job there and the main mamager responds to queries very quick and efficiently.

My daughter joined Mama Bears in September 2025 as a 10 month old. I was worried about the transition as she had been at a different nursery for August, however they didn't let us use all of our funded hours across three days. Nicola was brilliant and I was impressed with her professionalism and knowledge. The baby unit is a lovely big space, with different areas, so i knew that my daughter wouldn't get bored and although there were some tears for the first couple of weeks, as can be expected, Fran, Millie, Sophie and the rest of the team were always so kind and welcoming that my daughter quickly settled in. She is now one and a half and loves it. She nods excitingly in the morning when I say we have to get ready for nursery. They are also helping us with consistency for her behaviour, as well as paying particular attention to her speech development. We are all very glad we made the move to Mama Bears.

Thank you!

I am so grateful for the care and encouragement she receives every day, and I couldn't be happier with the progress she has made since attending.

The staff at Mama Bear's Whiteway Road are such a brilliant, friendly and approachable team. They work WITH children and their families. Absolutely love all the celebrations they do too and the effort they put in. There is no other nursery in Bristol that will go to the amount of effort they do for World Book Day etc. The team there are truly kind people who will be honest with you. They all seem to get on as well, which is really nice to see!

My son loves it here! The staff are so kind, friendly and always welcoming to everyone! They always try their hardest to go above and beyond to create a safe and fun experience for the children. They have worked so hard with my son to help his confidence and to say words. My son has learnt a lot from mama bears and his confidence is starting to improve. My son loves their outdoor space due to having lots of bikes, balls and slides. I would recommend this nursery !

The entire team at Mama Bear's is fantastic and genuine, there is no fuss just real friendly people who do a great job! Thank you!

We couldn't be happier with our daughter's experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff made us feel welcome, supported, and confident that she was in a safe and caring environment.

The team is incredibly professional, kind, and dedicated. It is clear that they genuinely care about each child and take the time to understand their individual needs and personalities. The nurturing atmosphere they create has helped our daughter settle in quickly, build confidence, and develop strong social skills.

The range of activities offered is excellent, providing a wonderful balance of learning, creativity, and play.

We also greatly appreciate the communication between the nursery and parents.

A huge thank you to all the staff for their hard work, commitment, and genuine care. We would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a warm, supportive, and enriching environment for their child.

Each member of staff are warm and welcoming as well as professional. Wide range of activities and learning. I'd recommend this nursery with no hesitation.

Very happy with the nursery. Caring staff and a great environment for children. My child enjoys attending and always comes home happy. The team are friendly, supportive, and provide excellent care. We would happily recommend this nursery to other parents.

We have had a wonderful experience with Mama Bear's Nursery. The staff are caring, professional, and genuinely invested in the children's development and well-being. From the moment our child started, we felt welcomed and reassured by the nurturing environment and excellent communication from the team.

I would recommend this nursery to any care giver of any child with any level of needs. My son is happy, well cared for and is shown love,care and support as if almost an extension from home. The staff go the extra mile for us and have supported me and my husband through really difficult family times and situations and have never faultered. They continue the work we have put in at home with my son and have allowed him to develop. They're responsive, caring and in my opinion a credit to Plymouth. I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so grateful for finding them.

The staff at the nursery go above and beyond to meet the needs of families and the individualised children. It is a big thing to take your child to nursery but at Mama Bears, nothing is too much trouble. They have very thorough policies and procedures which ensures the children are safe and thriving. We have always felt well informed and up to date with every event going on at the nursery which is imperative when you are working. All I can say is thank you to all the staff for making my sons experience at nursery, unique nurtured and exciting.

They also organise wonderful family fun days and parties, which really shows how much they value the whole family experience. My daughter absolutely loves going here, and that speaks volumes. The staff are outstanding: warm, caring and professional. They always keep in touch and will call straight away if there's ever a concern, which gives such peace of mind. You truly won't find a better place for your child. I cannot recommend Mama Bears highly enough - you will not regret it. Well done, Mama Bears. You never fail to impress.

I couldn't praise this nursery more if I tried!

My 2 year old daughter only started a month ago and is already thriving so much more! I was very picky about what nursery I chose as I took her out of another nursery after 1 week when she was 1 as it just wasn't right and she was very unhappy and so I was very nervous about doing it again however I feel nothing but ease when I drop her off and leave, knowing she is being well cared for. Although she still hates leaving me, as it's still early days, within 1 minute, she's running around, talking to others and playing and it very clear to see she is very happy and comfortable there.

All the staff are so kind and friendly, extremely knowledgable in childcare and always give me a very thorough hand over when I go and collect her. It's a busy nursery and they work so hard and genuinely love to look after our babies.

I feel like I'm winning because I've chosen the best nursery!
