My daughter attended the Nuffy Bears Nursery in Stoke Poges and thoroughly enjoyed her time there. The staff are absolutely amazing, extremely caring and personable. I would highly recommend this nursery. I wish the team all the best and thank you for doing a brilliant job in supporting my daughter's development.
Very good nursery! All staff very caring, loving and welcoming. If I wanted my child to learn a particular thing such as writing their name, numbers, shapes etc. in a few weeks they would know it. Would recommend to everyone.

My daughter is a lockdown baby and she has thrived since being at Nuffy Bear. The staff and manager work tirelessly to ensure our littlest ones are happy, safe and stimulated. Most importantly they are helping us to teach our children the importance of being kind and caring people.

Your staff's kindness and warmth made us feel like part of the family from day one. Their unwavering dedication and genuine care towards each child are truly commendable.
I am grateful for the excellent communication and regular updates we receive about our children's activities and progress. It brings me immense joy to hear about the fun and educational experiences they have each day.
The remarkable staff retention at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery speaks volumes about the positive work environment and the passion of your team.
I wholeheartedly recommend Nuffy Bear Day Nursery to other parents seeking a nurturing and enriching environment for their children.
Thank you for the outstanding care you provide to my children.

My son absolutely loves the nursery! The staff have built his confidence, encouraged his learning and also encouraged him to develop his personality. When I drop him off in the morning I know he will be taken care of just as well as I would at home and that is so important. He goes in happy every day and always has a smile on his face at pick up time. The staff not only support my son's learning but also my own as a first time parent. If I have any questions regarding care for him when he is poorly or ways to encourage him to develop at home (ie fussy eating), the staff are always on hand to help. The one improvement I would suggest for the nursery would be more regular updates via the app regarding activities/learning done during the day as these can be fairly sporadic, however internet problems have contributed to this a fair few times which is out of the nursery’s hands. The nursery is fantastic and I can’t wait to send my second child there!
The care that they receive is excellent.
Their progress is a reflection of the effort that all the staff put in.
They love it there, and we feel reassured that they are well looked after by a caring and loving team.

My son has been attending Nuffy Bear Nursery for nearly a year now. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate the ongoing support I receive from the great staff of this nursery. My son is my first child and I was very nervous about leaving him at nursery, however, the staff have constantly kept me involved and helped me to settle my son into the nursery. He eats very well and his speech has developed so much. I researched many nurseries before choosing this one and I can’t make any complaints. All the staff are professional and very organised. They communicate with each other effectively which gives me a lot of assurance about my son's well-being when he’s there. My son also has allergies and eczema, which with no doubt the amazing staff have helped with this as well. They have gone above and beyond and I can only hope I find a school as great!

The nursery has helped so much with her social development and the staff have built an excellent relationship with her.
As soon as she knows it’s a nursery day she gets very excited and is always asking for the staff. Who always come to meet her at the door with the loveliest smiles which makes us all feel very comfortable.
The staff at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Stoke Poges always keep us up to date with our daughters learning needs and development.

They both settled in very well with the support of the ever committed and dedicated staff members. My eldest struggled with his speech, but with the help and encouragement of the staff in the toddler room, he is now able to speak in sentences. They have both advanced in their social skills and behaviour. They have learnt etiquette and good manners from the nursery. They partake in the wide range of activities arranged by the nursery and bring home their work. We are given daily updates from staff regarding their eating habits, toileting and behaviour. If we have any concerns the staff are more than happy to listen and work together to resolve it. I couldn't imagine a better place for my children and am grateful to the staff for the positive difference they have made in their lives.

My son has been at the nursery since he was 15 months old, he joined in 2021 during the pandemic. Choosing Nuffy Bear Day Nursery during a pandemic was a difficult thing to do however we are so happy with our choice. My son is always happy to go to nursery and when collected. The staff are amazing! They are so attentive with him, and each day I get thorough feedback of what my son has been up to, eaten etc.
His key worker always encourages him and communicates at all times with me. I know that my son enjoys going to nursery and that he is well looked after. All staff from management down to the teachers know each parent and child and shows they all are involved. The food quality is really good I know my son has a healthy balanced diet at nursery and has the opportunity to try different foods. Thank you Nuffy Bear Day Nursery (stoke poges).

My son has been going to Nuffy Bear since he was seven months old and he is now nearly four years old and we absolutely love the nursery! I always feel so safe dropping my son to the nursery girls and they are always so kind and caring towards him. My son is always so happy on the way to nursery and when I pick him up and always says how he loves his nursery! The management team, the Manager and Deputy Manager, and all of the teachers are incredible and I am so lucky to have had the chance to find such a fantastic nursery for my son for all of these years. Thank you Nuffy Bear!

My daughter absolutely loved Nuffy Bear. The staff are so caring and it was such a good feeling knowing that she was being cared for whilst I was working. She had the best time playing and I don’t think she ever came home in the same outfit she started out in which in my book is a sign of a great day getting messy and having fun! Her development came on leaps and bounds and she learned lots of life skills that she will carry through school and into adulthood. I am especially grateful to the staff there for their help as when she first started she was a very fussy eater but now she will eat almost anything which is a huge relief.
My son goes to this nursery, and when I pick him up, he is always so happy. I love him going to this nursery, as I know he is safe and cared for. The team are really nice, and I highly recommend this nursery.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have been able to send my child to this nursery. The staff are wonderful, so understanding with my questions and requests as a first-time parent. They set up the nursery beautifully and always provide exciting activities. The nursery manager is fantastic, her child care knowledge is everything you could ask for as a parent. I know that when my child is in their care they give the best care there is to offer.

Nuffy Bear in Stoke Poges is a very professionally run nursery, very clean, friendly staff, and my son has been going there for a year now. He loves it and has grown and developed very well given the level of care and support he receives at the nursery. All the staff are really friendly, and they are very professional; I would highly recommend this nursery. During covid lockdown, the staff and manager kept in touch, reassuring us and interested in knowing what the children have been up to. The transition back from lockdown was also handled in a very organised and careful manner.

Nuffy Bear is an incredible nursery!! The team at the nursery are all so welcoming and it really shows that they take pride in all of the children. My little one started when she was 10 months old and the team settled her into Nuffy Bear life very quickly. Now she is coming up to 2 years and she runs in every day and ALWAYS has the biggest smile on her face when I collect her. She surprises us all the time with new words, new ways of playing, better social skills and good eating habits, which I believe she has learnt from being at the nursery. The interaction with the other children, the nursery setting and the activities they do really have brought out the best in her! Plus the forest school space is a great way for them to explore the outdoors! I would not hesitate in recommending the nursery (as this is my second child who has attended) - they feel like our extended family. Thank you to all the team at Nuffy Bear.

This is an incredible nursery! The staff are extremely caring and have brilliant relationships with the children. This shows through their knowledge of the children and how happy my child is when I pick her up every day. The nursery manager and her team work endlessly to ensure that all the children reach their full potential and are cared for. I receive an in-depth report at the end of the day from the staff about how well my child has eaten and what she did during the day. I moved my child's nursery when she was 1 as I wasn't happy with the care she was receiving. I have built amazing relationships with the nursery and I feel happy and confident that my daughter is well looked after and safe. She has excelled since she has been there and her speech and language skills have developed faster than I ever imagined they could! I could not recommend this nursery enough. Thank you to the nursery manager and her team. I will be truly sad when my daughter leaves and am calling for an infant school to be built!

The nursery manager made the transition not only for my daughter but for myself too, when we decided to put our daughter into nursery as I went back to work. The time and dedication was outstanding and no other nursery manager or staff members made the effort to ease my nerves and understood how hard I was finding this change. Fortunately, our daughter loved every step of this transition and we haven't looked back. Our daughter has grown and developed in so many ways. Most importantly, she is happy.

Hello, I’m Mel, the Nursery Manager at Nuffy Bear. I’ve worked in the Early Years sector for 25 years, and I genuinely love what I do. Watching children grow in confidence, develop their personalities, and reach new milestones is something I never tire of; it’s what makes my role so special.
I’ve been part of the Stoke Poges community for the past 8 years, and it truly feels like home. I’m proud to work alongside such a caring and dedicated team, and I really value the strong relationships we build with our families.
For me, it’s so important that our nursery feels like a home from home, somewhere children feel safe, happy, and excited to learn, and where parents feel reassured and supported. One of the things I enjoy most is getting to know each child and family as individuals and being part of their journey from those very first steps into nursery.
We also place great importance on celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion, ensuring every child and family feels respected, represented, and welcomed as part of our nursery community.

I am an Early Years Educator with 3 years’ experience, including 2 years at Nuffy Bear. I absolutely love supporting children as they grow and develop, and there is nothing more rewarding than seeing them reach their special milestones.
I enjoy creating fun, playful learning experiences and bringing out my inner child alongside the children. I have a nurturing and caring nature and always make sure every child feels safe, happy and valued in my care. Supporting each child’s next steps is very important to me, and I always ensure no child is left behind.
I love being part of a strong, supportive team where we use our individual strengths to give children the best possible start. One of my favourite activities is sand play, as it allows children to explore, create and learn through play.Outside of work, I enjoy eating out and trying new foods, and my favourite drink is vanilla Matcha.

I am the Third in Charge and have 6 years’ experience working in Early Years, including 2 years at Nuffy Bear. I have always loved being a big sister, which inspired me to work in childcare, and I enjoy supporting children as they grow and reach their milestones.
Building strong relationships is very important to me. I take the time to get to know each child as an individual, ensuring they feel loved, safe and supported. I believe the positive relationships we have as a team are reflected in the children, as they learn from the way we treat one another.
I enjoy creating fun and engaging experiences for the children, especially messy play. My consistent and encouraging approach helps children feel confident and secure in their learning.
At home, I have a dog called Nala, and my favourite drink is coffee.

Hi, I’m Sumira, and I have worked in early years for 26 years, including 14 years at Nuffy Bear. I have a real passion for working with under 2s and love being part of those very special first moments in their development. Supporting babies as they learn new skills and reach their first milestones is something I truly enjoy.
I have a very nurturing, mothering approach and believe it is so important to give babies the care, attention and reassurance they need at such an important stage in their lives. I love teaching children new words and supporting their early communication, and I always work closely with parents to build strong, trusting relationships.
Being part of a supportive team means a lot to me. I value teamwork and believe in pulling together and caring for one another, which creates a positive environment that the children benefit from too. I am also passionate about celebrating different cultures and traditions, helping every child feel included, respected and understood. I like to give babies choices and keep them involved in their day in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
In my spare time, I enjoy writing poetry and stories in Urdu, and my favourite drink is green tea

Hi, I’m Aqsa and I have worked in early years for 12 years, including 6 years at Nuffy Bear. I developed a passion for working with children after completing my work experience, and I have gone on to gain a Degree in Early Years.
I love working with babies and helping to set the foundations for their learning and development. Supporting them as they grow, explore and begin to understand the world around them is something I find incredibly rewarding. I really enjoy cooking and baking with the babies, as well as reading stories together, helping to build their language and confidence.
As a key person, I build strong, trusting bonds with the children in my care. I’m passionate about embracing each child’s individuality and making sure they feel included and valued. I also support the children in becoming more independent in a gentle and encouraging way.
Teamwork is very important to me, and I believe in being a positive role model for the children while working closely with my team to create a caring, supportive environment for everyone.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading and going to see music concerts, and my favourite drink is Matcha

Hi, I’m Tracey, and I’m the Deputy Manager. I have worked in early years for 30 years, including 28 years with Nuffield, and I feel incredibly passionate about supporting children as they grow and develop.
One of the things I love most about my role is seeing children thrive, become more independent, and take safe risks in their learning. It’s such a rewarding feeling, and I share in the excitement and pride with parents when children achieve important milestones. I am forest school trained, which allows me to support children in exploring and learning confidently in the outdoor environment.
I really enjoy storytelling, and the children love bringing me books for us to share together. Building those special connections with children of all ages is something I truly value.
Being part of a strong team is very important to me, and I believe in being a positive role model while creating an inclusive, supportive environment for both children and staff.

Hi, I’m Aman, and I have worked in early years for 20 years, including 4 years at Nuffy Bear. I also hold a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has supported my passion for giving children the very best start in life.
I am passionate about being part of children’s first experiences and making a positive difference in their lives from the very beginning. I am especially dedicated to supporting every child, including those who may be quieter or less visible, and ensuring that all children have a voice—even those who are not yet verbal.
Children’s wellbeing and mental health are very important to me. I enjoy teaching simple mindfulness techniques and supporting children to regulate and name their emotions, helping them to feel calm, understood and secure.
I love working as part of a team where we can share ideas, celebrate different cultures and embrace our differences. Creating an inclusive environment where every child feels valued and understood is something I truly believe in.My favourite drinks are Indian tea and British tea

Hi, I’m Nazish, and I have worked in early years for 14 years, all with Nuffy Bear. I am passionate about making a difference in children’s lives and love building trusting relationships with both children and families.
Coming from a large family and having lots of experience babysitting, I have always enjoyed being around children, which naturally led me into early years. I really value being part of a team that feels like a little family, where we work closely together and create a welcoming environment for both children and parents.
I love baking with the children- my team refer to me as Mary Berry! Encouraging them to be as independent as possible in a safe and supportive way. I also enjoy joining in with their play, especially games I used to love as a child, like “What’s the time Mr Wolf?” and tag. It’s so special to see their excitement and have fun together.
Ensuring the environment is safe and that high standards are always maintained is very important to me, so children can learn and play happily and securely.
