Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Shirehampton)
from Kaleisha N (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My child has great relationships with all staff and enjoys coming to nursery; they are also great with the parents. I'm always kept up to date on what he has done throughout the day, and the learning activities always seem very educational, as my child seems to be thriving and leaves nursery knowing

something new regularly. The manager is lovely and will help where available. Overall I think Mamma Bears is a great nursery.

from Shardonay F (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My daughter joined the nursery half way through the year after already having a nursery due to moving home and settled in so quickly, thanks to the amazing staff. Everyone is so friendly and took the time to really get to know her, which made her feel welcome right away and put my mind at ease knowing

she was in such safe hands. The drop off and pick ups are brilliant the staff always take the time to give a detailed handover about her day. As well as receiving updates through the day on parent zone. The communication is always spot on, and it's clear how much they care about the children.
My daughter speaks so highly of many of the staff members at home and is always happy and excited to go to nursery. I couldn't ask for a better nursery.

My daughter has been going to Mama Bears since she was 10 months old and I've always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving her there. She loves going in each day, and the staff are so friendly and caring. The communication is great and it's a really warm and welcoming place.

My daughter really enjoys going to nursery. She's always happy, safe and comfortable going here. She has improved and developed so much that I couldn't be more grateful to this nursery.

Overall Experience

Staff are all welcoming and my daughter has settled really well there, communication is great and she always comes out happy.
I love the fact they do mini get together and activities for the kids the welcome party for new parents to view was a great way to meet all the staff and children before making

a decision. My daughter loves this nursery and I wouldn't change her can't wait to see her grow more through her journey.

from Cloe R (Mother of Child) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I was very nervous to start my child at nursery. From the first day my son attended the nursery everyone working there made me feel better about leaving him with them and helped to settle him into his sessions very smoothly, they adapted to his needs with things such as a separation plate at meal times,

and always let me know if he's having a bad day (which as a mother I appreciate so much) he leaves nursery happy and excited and he is always learning new songs and skills. I receive lots of pictures via the app to see him enjoying his day and I always receive a clear update on what he has eat/drank and done during the day. They are very good at recognising when he is tired and working around his unpredictable nap schedule. My child loves all the staff at this nursery and he genuinely learns lots and enjoys his time there. He is very lucky to have such great, caring and loving team of people look after him and I'm extremely glad I chose this nursery

Overall Experience

Since my child has started in September it has been the best thing for him, he loves nursery, he loves everyone there, all the staff go above and beyond, I wouldn't have him anywhere else, everything they do is amazing, and I couldn't be more greatful for what they do! I wouldn't change a thing. Thank

you so much, it's such a comfort knowing how safe he is when I'm at work.

from E A (Father of Child) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our child has been at the nursery for nearly 3 years and has absolutely loved it. The team and management are very transparent on what's going on in nursery and clearly care a lot for the kids. The large garden and varied activities are great - it's always nice getting photos and updates on what's going

on through the parent app! Staff have always spent time answering any questions we have and have helped manage any challenges with our child as they have progressed.

Overall Experience

We have been really happy with the care and attention or little one has received since starting at Mama Bears Speedwell. The team are very engaged providing lots of fun activities as well as regular feedback through the app. We are delighted to have such a lovely and accommodating nursery so close.

The team are always very communicative and in particular we had none of the run around during registry that we experienced with other nearby nurseries.

Overall Experience

The wonderful team at Mama Bear's have made my daughter feel so welcome since she started attending at 1 and is still very much enjoying it at age 4. She's very bonded with the staff who really understand her and who she is. It's been great for her development and I feel totally comfortable and happy

for her to go in for the day as I know she's being well cared for. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

My boy has been coming here since he was about 18 months old, he will be 3 very soon, and he absolutely loves it here (his sister also came here a few years back). I dont have a bad word to say about mama bears. He comes home with new stories about what he has done and what he has eaten with a big smile

on his face. The staff are so kind, genuine and caring. I feel he is in safe hands with them and he is looking forward to coming even more next month! A special shout-out to the specific staff members who he speaks about a lot at home (and asks when he will see them again). Thank you to everyone at mama bears who makes him feel special.

Overall Experience

My little one started in the baby room at 10.5 months old after finding another childcare setting very difficult. She has always loved being at Mama Bears, and gets very excited about attending each time. The staff are really lovely and communication has always been very good. Management has always

been very helpful and easy to talk to.

Overall Experience

My son has been at Mama Bear's Day Nursery since he was 7 months old and absolutely loves going to nursery! He's well looked after and is thriving in all areas, socially, educationally and emotionally. The only downside is the lack of care arrangements from 5-6pm due to staff shortages which means little

consistency with key practitioners. That said, I appreciate that this is an issue that cuts across the industry. The management is great, proactive and friendly. Thank you team Mama Bears!
