Always happy with the staff at Nuffy Bear. They are exceptionally welcoming and I trust that they care for my child. I feel they try to get to know the family and are familiar with all members.

Review from Lucica S (Mother of Child) published on 8 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our son has attended a different nursery prior to Nuffy Bear and it wasn’t at all what we expected. Here children are very happy and they all seem to get along with each other and the staff very well. We feel free to talk to the staff and communicate our son’s needs. There is loads of messy play involved which I wasn’t pleased about to start with but seeing the pictures and report of my son for his first week it made me feel it was all worth it. All of a sudden it made sense and it wasn’t just random play.
Our son seems to have accommodated well. He still needs loads of encouragement with his meals and the staff are doing a great job, even the nursery cook got involved in assisting him, which was great to see!

There were many occasions when they all went out of their way to ensure our son is happy and well looked after while in their care. Our son is happy and always looking forward to seeing his friends again.

Review from Diana L (Grandmother of Child) published on 8 November 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My granddaughter has been attending Nuffy Bears for over a year now. She has made lots of friends and is happy when I collect her. I am impressed with the care she is given and how she is welcomed by name with a smile from members of staff - not just those who work in her area.
We read her reports carefully and at our parent consultation meetings it is clear she is well known and her social, physical and educational needs are being well catered for. I like the focus on children learning through their interests with a priority given to using resources from the natural world.

The behaviour management is fair and firm, with clear expectations which leads to a calm, happy environment where children can feel secure. The occasional after session general meetings for staff to explain their philosophy and approaches to parents are interesting and helpful. The visiting Zoolab provide extended experiences and my granddaughter is looking forward to the swimming sessions.

Overall Experience
Our child has settled in very well at Nuffy Bear. The careworker is brilliant and she is missed when not around.
The menu is great.

Messy play is very messy but full of learning and fun. Our child is developing well in the nursery environment.

Review from Priya S (Mother of Child) published on 1 May 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We had to change nursery for our daughter so she would be closer to my workplace and I was very worried about how she would settle into a new environment especially mid-term but the Nuffy Bear staff have been amazing with the transition for my daughter. They are all so nurturing, warm and caring. We have regular catch ups on how she is doing and what she has been up to during the day. It feels lovely to come back to a very happy child at the end of the day because a happy child means happy parents. My daughter loves going to nursery, she enjoys all the activities they do, especially her ballet class. Also, they seem to have a lot of food available during the day, as my daughter always tells me about all the yummy food she has had for either snack, lunch or tea. We are extremely happy with how they have helped our daughter settle in and make her feel very welcome.

Review from Lucinda M (Mother of Child) published on 18 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My daughter always seems happy when I pick her up but the report I receive on her day is sporadic. Some days I get a written report, others a full verbal report and sometimes I have to ask for information. I appreciate the carers are tired at the end of a long day with the children, so maybe a written top line daily report to take away, as a rule, would be easier for everyone.
My daughter attends another nursery 2 days week, I pay the same for her other nursery as I do for Nuffy but her nappies, wipes, cream etc. are included.
The manager and her management team have been great at sorting out any issues and answering questions I have had as a first-time mum, particularly on the finance side where incorrect invoices have been received etc. I often get emails from them out of hours or on their days off.

Overall I am happy with my daughter attending Nuffy Bear.

Review from Dianah M (Mother of Child) published on 11 April 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Amazing nursery with good outcomes for the children.

Our children are so happy at the nursery and are very close to the teachers. The staff have been amazing in the way they help and support the children to accomplish their development needs and very personable. Also having a younger sibling at the nursery, the staff have been so accommodating to both the children's needs and ours as a family, allowing them time together if possible. Everyone is always so happy to help!

Review from Eleanor (Mother of Child) published on 28 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I had looked around most of the local nurseries and wasn't impressed with what they had to offer. I decided to keep my daughter at home and attend local classes instead to give her activities and meet her social needs. Shortly afterwards I met with my neighbour who recommended Nuffy Bear.
From the moment I walked into the nursery, met with the staff and could see how happy the children were doing their activities, I knew that this was what I had been looking for.
The staff are great at their job, caring, welcoming, pleasant and happy people who do a great job of nurturing the children.
My little girl loves attending. She comes home with wonderful things she has made. She eats well and learns great social skills.
Nuffy's are extremely flexible with increasing from half a day to a full day when required.
The communication to parents is really good with regular updates.
The cost is competitive and I feel excellent value for the service.

Well done Nuffy's and Thank you.

A massive improvement in the leadership from 12 months ago. This, together with the support of the staff, means we have seen real progress in the activities that are offered and the ethos of Nuffy Bear.

Very happy with the relationships that continue to be developed between our kids and the staff.

Overall Experience

This nursery is great. My son has attended for 18 months and the new manager has created a happy, vibrant environment which he thrives in. From trips out to friendly, happy and enthusiastic staff to great food and lots of new parental engagement opportunities - it's fab. No nursery is perfect and it's never easy leaving your most precious cargo in someone else's care. But Nuffy Bear make it easier and give us peace of mind as we head off to work every day.

Review from Michael P (Father of Child) published on 5 February 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Our daughter has attended Nuffy Bear Surbiton since July 2015. We have found Nuffy to have been an excellent choice. The day to day staff are extremely polite, considerate and caring. The management is very proactive and go beyond the basic Ofsted educational requirements. Children's learning progress, development and performance are closely monitored to ensure compliance with Ofsted requirements and to ensure the children are satisfying their needs. Nuffy also provides a range of extracurricular activities that the children partake in (ballet, computer lessons, drama, etc.), in addition to complimentary swimming lessons.

There are often external excursions arranged to supplement the educational context. Parents are effectively communicated to in relation to day to day and planned activities. Parents also have the ability to influence the running of the nursery via membership to the 'Parents Committee'. The quality and quantity of food is also excellent and is monitored for dietary requirements in accordance with UK best practice.

Our daughter has flourished and loves attending. Under the new manager (since July 2017), Nuffy has improved 100%, I would now recommend it to the most discerning parents.

Overall Experience

My son has been attending Nuffy Bears since he was six months old and is now two and a half. He has loved all of the different rooms he has been in due to the staff who are all fantastic and wonderful with the children. The nursery has a great focus on developing the children through a wide variety of engaging and fun activities. This includes singing sessions, special visitors (this week was a visit from the reptile zoo), IT classes, games and visits to places such as the library, park and local theatre. It is also great to know that my son is getting homemade, delicious and healthy food made by the nursery chef.

Overall Experience

Both my daughters have attended this nursery since the age of one and they absolutely love it! The variety of activities is amazing and they learn so many things that I would not have even thought about at home. The staff are really caring, flexible if you need extra hours occasionally and have a lovely bond with all the children. They get lots of outdoor and messy play and I particularly like the swimming for the older children which is included in the rate, as well as optional other activities such as ballet and ball skills. The hours are good although I would prefer a 7:30 start. I feel this is a very good value nursery with excellent dedicated staff and I will be very sad when my children outgrow it.

Review from Martina S (Mother of Child) published on 31 July 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our daughter has been attending nursery since she was 15 months old and always looks forward to going... bouncing up the stairs with a big smile on her face and a spring in her step. She enjoys all the activities: in particular the arts and crafts, singing and dancing, and playing outdoors. The team are very professional, hard working, committed and a pleasure to deal with. They take time to smile and say hello to each child even if they are from a different classroom. The nursery is a bright, fun environment with lots of learning and development aids and provides good home made food. Overall we are very reassured that our daughter is happy and well cared for by a great team of people in a safe, warm and happy nursery.
