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.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Speedwell) from Sarah D (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Speedwell) from K K (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter has come so far since starting at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have helped her feel safe, secure, and happy in her environment. Her confidence has grown enormously, and it's been wonderful to see her develop and thrive.
She has built fantastic relationships with her key person and the staff in both her current preschool room and the previous rooms she attended. Everyone is always friendly, caring, and supportive. The team genuinely takes the time to get to know each child as an individual and creates a warm, nurturing atmosphere.

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.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Speedwell) from Kate B (Mother of Child) published on 15 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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!

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Speedwell) from L G (Father of Child) published on 8 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Clifton - Whiteladies Road) from H G (Mother of Child) published on 28 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been attending mama bears for 1.5 years and our second is due to start later this year. Our eldest started in the baby room when he was 1 and is now in his third room. He has gotten on very well with his key workers and all of the staff. Early on they all knew his name and would say good morning when we arrived. All of the staff have been amazing with him. The updates at pickup each day are thorough. Our son is quite accident prone so they always take the appropriate action and will call us to inform us of an incident if necessary or talk us through it at pickup. The app is great as you can record your child as dropped off or picked up, they post updates on their meals, how much was eaten, their nap times, accident forms are logged on there, nappy changes are logged and you get photo updates so you can see what activities they have done in the day. All of the children love the outdoor space and the see saw! It's a great atmosphere and environment, I would highly recommend it.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Speedwell) from Ila D (Mother of Child) published on 24 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our daughter has attended Mama Bear's from the age of 1 and is now preparing to start Reception this September. Over these past years, the nursery has played such an important role in her early childhood, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and dedication of the team.

Nicola, the manager, has been wonderful from the very beginning ,thoughtful, supportive, and deeply committed to the wellbeing of the children and families. Every key person our daughter has had has been kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in her development. Thanks to them she has built strong friendships and beautiful memories that will stay with her as she moves on to school. Like many nurseries, Mama Bear's has had periods where staffing has been stretched and they've had to navigate challenges beyond their control. Even during those times, the staff have consistently put the children and families first, going above and beyond to create a nurturing and safe environment. Thank you

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Fishponds) from Jenny B (Mother of Child) published on 18 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My daughter goes to Mama Bears in Fishponds and couldn't love it more. She is a shy child and sometimes can struggle in loud environments with adults. However the nursery staff have always been amazing at tending to her needs and settling her in. And helping ease our anxiety too by being such friendly and kind people. We are incredibly happy with the care she receives when she's at nursery and love seeing on the app photos of her. The nursery has outdoor space which they utilise with the children daily and are always doing fun activities. Our little girl is thriving at this nursery and we would recommend it to anyone.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Totterdown) from Bronwen C (Mother of Child) published on 12 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child attends preschool and since starting he has grown exponentially in his maths and English as well as his social skills and confidence. He really enjoys going and often doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. Communication with the nursery is also excellent, and they have been very accommodating when I've needed to change session times.

The staff at Mama Bears, The Bush really care about the children they look after, and I feel that they show genuine interest in the development of our daughter. We appreciate the updates they provide throughout the day via the app, including the specific areas of development which they are focusing on. The staff are always kind and caring towards the children.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Totterdown) from Joshua H (Father of Child) published on 5 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My child started in the baby room in July 2025 when my partner returned to work. The settling process was well managed and staff supported me throughout. Any concerns I've raised have been addressed promptly. Recently, drop-offs have been hard and she's been upset, which is difficult as a parent. However, the staff are always kind, reassuring and supportive, which really puts my mind at ease. I feel confident she is in safe, caring hands. The room lead and deputy manager has been particularly wonderful. She has had two key people since starting and the transition was handled smoothly. She now has a lovely bond with her new key person and is clearly very happy. Handovers are positive and reassuring. Overall, I'm very happy with the setting and would happily recommend it to other parents.

Review of Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Clifton - Whiteladies Road) from Rufus H (Father of Child) published on 18 February 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We took our son to Mama Bears from when he was 4 months old and Louise, Oliwia, Maddy, Nell, Lauren and the whole team made him and us feel super welcome and relaxed. He absolutely loves it there always getting very excited as we walk in each day. The team are extremely flexible and very helpful whatever situation we faced. Cannot recommend enough and particular shout out to Louise, Oliwia and Maddy for being so amazing with him during the days themselves. The only reason we are having to love nursery (a huge wrench for us) is because a place has become available at a nursery that is 15 minutes closer. For 2 working parents this makes a big difference, but we are absolutely gutted to be leaving. Thank you so much!
