About this price
How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Our son started at Nuffy Bear at the beginning of the summer after we moved areas, he had only been in the nursery for a few months before the move so it was a period of lots of change and upheaval for him and the nursery has given him the consistency he needed, whilst also providing a really happy, stimulating environment. He looks forward to going each morning (barely looking back to say goodbye to us!) and comes home every night happy. All the staff seem to genuinely care for the children, the updates are plentiful and his development has come on leaps and bounds since he started. We couldn't be happier.

The staff and setting here are amazing. Key factors for us:
1. Convenient location to train as well as having priority drop-off spaces outside the front door.
2. The staff are so flexible with all of our concerns. They truly care and treat the children with so much love and affection.
3. It has a 'home away from home' environment with large spaces and big windows looking out onto a large green space.
4. The room sizes are small. Something that put us off other nurseries where there were a lot of kids. They all get a lot of attention.
5. The activities are never-ending with lots of outdoor time, water, paint, and sand play as well as guests who do group activities in the studio upstairs.
6. Our daughter eats proper meals here. Something I am struggling to get her to do at home.
Cannot recommend it enough. My daughter jumps out of my arms in the morning.
My child started at Nuffy Bear Cheam in July 2024 and 2 months in, he has completely settled in. Going into the nursery door every morning with big smiles. The workers are tentative and loving. Nothing is ever a big problem. They helped him transition so smoothly and we get photos and updates...
My child started at Nuffy Bear Cheam in July 2024 and 2 months in, he has completely settled in. Going into the nursery door every morning with big smiles. The workers are tentative and loving. Nothing is ever a big problem. They helped him transition so smoothly and we get photos and updates throughout the day which really help to feel connected. Would highly recommend it!
My son spent over 3 years attending Nuffy Bears in Cheam. He started as a 9-month-old and is now leaving as a happy four-year-old, fully equipped and ready to start school. I cannot thank the staff at Nuffy Bears enough for all their support and care over the last 3 and a bit years. My child...
My son spent over 3 years attending Nuffy Bears in Cheam. He started as a 9-month-old and is now leaving as a happy four-year-old, fully equipped and ready to start school. I cannot thank the staff at Nuffy Bears enough for all their support and care over the last 3 and a bit years. My child required special attention in his early years for medical issues relating to feeding, which meant he needed one-to-one attention during feeding. Nuffy Bears provided this without hesitation and his key worker provided me with detailed feedback which put my mind at ease. This was so important to me, especially during the baby and early toddler phase. The nursery benefits from having a fully engaged and excellent manager who runs the nursery well. The tasks that the children do are interesting and varied.
My daughter spent 1.5 years in Nuffy Bear, and she loves her nursery very much! The nursery has a good number of staff who are young and energetic, they play with kids, have read with them and take good care of them.

My daughter spent 1.5 years in Nuffy Bear, and she loves her nursery very much! The nursery has a good number of staff who are young and energetic, they play with kids, have read with them and take good care of them. My daughter was not toilet trained at the beginning, nursery staff will change her nappy every day. Every week they have different themes to learn about, the activities and nursery setting will change according to the theme of that week. They use Nuffield Health's large football field as their garden so kids have a huge outside space to play. They offer a free swimming lesson for all nursery kids every week, using the on-site indoor swimming pool. Considering the quality of care, facilities and activities they offer, the nursery fee I believe is very reasonable, cheaper than some other private nurseries, and they don't charge any registration fee. They have free parking on site. They update the app frequently with news and photos. Thank you to all the staff in Nuffy Bear!
My son started at Nuffy Bear Nursery in Cheam a year and a half ago and now he is leaving to go to school. We are so sad for him to be leaving as he had such a great time there. He has been to a different nursery and a childminder before and this childcare setting was by far his (and our...
The staff all seem to really enjoy being there and all get on well together and this translates into how they care for the children.
The children have so many opportunities at this nursery from swimming lessons every week to one-off trips to Chessington. It really has been a brilliant experience from start to finish. They are lucky to have use of the studios in the gym and they have a huge field out the back on which to play.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

They have a huge outdoor space and kids are encouraged to make maximum use of this. Most of the activities are educational and focus on key learnings. They also take preschool kids around the village to the train station, library etc. This has often been the highlight of my son's day.
He has made good friends and loves going to nursery. Their app is user-friendly and it is updated regularly so I am aware of his food, nap times, play time etc.

Nursery staff always giving feedback of child progression. Also point out if something still needs to be looked at (speech, walk, ...). They always do fun exercises. Both physical and mental. They do quite a lot of educational skills with the kids. I also receive live feeds about my child's daily routine (Food, sleep time, nappy changes, ...). They share pictures of their day. They plan a lot ahead as well which makes it easier for me to plan if she needs to bring anything in. My daughter was scared to go in first but now she walks in without looking back. I love the fact that even she has a key person, all other nursery staff know what is going on with her and she is comfortable with all members of staff.

We are particularly impressed with the variety of themed weeks they provide. We really appreciate the effort Nuffy staff put into keeping his learning fun and engaging. All of the staff are so enthusiastic, encouraging and caring. Our son really benefits from this.
The app keeps us updated with his daily progress. It is such a useful tool for communication with management/staff who always respond promptly.
Thank you for all you do- keep up the excellent work!
The nursery manager and the deputy are not professional in their approach to caring for children I believe. They failed to appropriately care for my grandchild. They failed to give accounts for injuries he suffered and were very defensive with excuses. The deputy was verbally abusive to my...
The other staff were really good, in particular a young male worker who was super caring with my grandson. The nursery often had staff shortage and would call and say your child can’t come to nursery because we don’t have the staff. From a safeguarding point, I do not recommend this nursery.
Dear Parent, Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry if your child’s Nuffy Bear Nursery experience has not met your expectation. If you are unhappy with any element of your child’s time with us our full complaints process can be found here: https://bit.ly/3CD8eqt

My son started going to Nuffy Bear in July 23. The settle-in sessions were very useful and I felt like I was leaving my child in safe hands. The whole team is absolutely amazing! My little boy is so happy to go there every morning. The management do a great job at making the place safe, educational and very entertaining for the children. There is also another fab person definitely worth mentioning, she always keeps us updated on our boy's progress, he absolutely adores her and looks so happy to see her. I would strongly recommend Nuffy Bear to any parent looking for an outstanding nursery in the area.

The manager and the team are very caring towards the children and organise lots of fun activities and events in addition to the standard nursery curriculum. The facilities are great with a big outdoor space and swimming pool. We always know our kids are well cared for at Nuffy.
My daughter has just turned two and joined Nuffy Bear in January 2023. She has just moved up to the toddler room and she is thriving. She absolutely loves all of the events the team puts on weekly which are always fun and creative for the children. The manager is always so accommodating and the...
I can clearly tell that the team take great care of my daughter and encourage her to learn and develop.

I highly recommend Nuffy Bears in Cheam. The teachers are so caring and kind. They have taught my daughter so much, putting together great activities where they enjoy themselves while learning. Our little girl has thrived there. There is nothing more they could do, they do so much and more, plus there are free swimming lessons once a week (when the child is 3+).

My son has attended the Nuffy Bear Nursery in Cheam since November 2022 when he was a year old. Whilst he struggled to settle, the staff were amazing and kept both he and us as his parent reassured about his progress. Fast forward a year, and he is so settled that he asks to go to nursery every day - including the weekends! The staff all demonstrate such love and joy for all the children in their care and we find them approachable. They work with you to achieve the goals you want for your child, as well as to ensure your child meets the government expectations of their age. My son talks about his days with delight, making leaving him to go to work so easy! They have an app which shares photos with us throughout the day, although these can be a bit hit-and-miss. It also details his bowel movements and dietary intake so it’s super easy to keep up with him. We couldn’t ask for a better nursery experience.
Since joining Nuffy Bear my son has really blossomed. He has grown in confidence and his communication and social skills have improved hugely. I couldn't recommend the team highly enough. The staff are genuinely caring and wonderful with children.

They have some nice staff but the assistant manager and manager are very rude and unhelpful.
My child was regularly separated from his peers due to a speech delay. One member often made up false incident reports, which when reported to the manager nothing was done.
My son sustained several injuries there including a fractured finger which the manager did not investigate. And when asked about other injuries the answer was always ‘staff never saw’.
All they want is your money and offer no support.
The majority of these reviews are fake as staff ask you to write them one month after your child joins.
The assistant would often call me stating I had outstanding invoices which were always incorrect as her math skill is one of a 3 year old and when questioned she would lose her temper, shout and hang up the phone which is extremely unprofessional.

My daughter started at Nuffy Bear Cheam in Autumn 2023 and we have had a great experience so far. The staff have been amazing and really helped her to settle in and always very happy to help answer any questions. They go above and beyond to plan fun and educational activities, even putting together a Christmas party for the parents to attend. I can already see how much my daughter has progressed since she started. They have also been super mindful of any dietary requirements, which is very appreciated. Thanks Nuffy Bear!

I have been so impressed with everyone at Nuffy Bear Cheam! My little one started at 8 months old and the staff have just been incredible! They are caring and supportive and I get regular updates during the many great activities they provide! I am so pleased I chose here for my daughter! The extra events they organise to include us as parents too are lovely, the Christmas party was great!
The nursery has been so amazing settling my son, the girls have been so attentive with his needs and it’s such a lovely atmosphere of children laughing and playing. Having updates on his settling has been so heart-warming and makes my transition to go to work a lot easier!

Hello, I'm Umar. I’ve been a part of the Nuffy Bear nursery team for three wonderful years. I started as an agency worker and quickly became a permanent member, obtaining my Level 3 qualification. I really enjoy teaching children valuable life skills and helping to extend their learning. I'm always eager to learn and grow in my role.
