Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Plymouth)

Both my sons have attended this nursery and I cannot fault it. The staff are amazing and well attentive. It is so nice to be able to drop off my children and know they are in the safest hands. As he has got older and progressed through the rooms, all the staff have been warm and approachable and my son has always enjoyed being around them. Would highly recommend this setting to anyone looking.

My son loves it here! The staff are so kind, friendly and always welcoming to everyone! They always try their hardest to go above and beyond to create a safe and fun experience for the children. They have worked so hard with my son to help his confidence and to say words. My son has learnt a lot from mama bears and his confidence is starting to improve. My son loves their outdoor space due to having lots of bikes, balls and slides. I would recommend this nursery !

I would recommend this nursery to any care giver of any child with any level of needs. My son is happy, well cared for and is shown love,care and support as if almost an extension from home. The staff go the extra mile for us and have supported me and my husband through really difficult family times and situations and have never faultered. They continue the work we have put in at home with my son and have allowed him to develop. They're responsive, caring and in my opinion a credit to Plymouth. I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm so grateful for finding them.

The staff at the nursery go above and beyond to meet the needs of families and the individualised children. It is a big thing to take your child to nursery but at Mama Bears, nothing is too much trouble. They have very thorough policies and procedures which ensures the children are safe and thriving. We have always felt well informed and up to date with every event going on at the nursery which is imperative when you are working. All I can say is thank you to all the staff for making my sons experience at nursery, unique nurtured and exciting.

We absolutely love this nursery. I feel completely at ease knowing my daughter is safe and happy there. She's learned so much, and it's been lovely to see how much she's grown. The staff are amazing, so kind and caring. I couldn't recommend it enough.

Lastly, one thing that is particularly important to me is security. Although I have been attending drop offs and pickups close to 3 years, I am thankful to be still challenged on entry on some days. I'm grateful that new staff have the courage to challenge me (or older staff not recognising me with a hat on). No apologies necessary. Thank you to all of the staff at mama bears. Your extraordinary work does not go unnoticed.

Both my children have attended this nursey my daughter is in her last few months there. We have always absolutely loved this place. We have always been kept in the loop regarding our children and if we have needed it we have always had amazing support from them all. Both my children love it here and my daughter still loves going after 3 years of being there she still get excited when I tell her it mama bears day. They have helped support my children with additional help towards their speech I can't fault them.

We came to Muma Bears after a bad experience with another nursery, and we have not looked back since. Muma Bears have been nothing but amazing, everyone is so welcoming which is what you would want when trusting a service with your little ones. From development learning activities, to just having a comforting cuddle, Muma Bears are the nursery for you! Me and partner love our little one being at Muma Bears and most importantly our little one loves going!

Management is great, you can tell the staff are happy and it shows in my daughter running in happy everytime she goes. Wouldn't recommend anywhere else.

We absolutely adore Mama Bears! Little one has been attending since 10 months old and she is absolutely thriving because of the wonderful team. Right from the start the communication has been brilliant, as a family we have felt so welcomed here and we just knew and still know that we made the right choice. We love how much the team try and get the kids outdoors, arrange lots of different activites, and of course the art work we receive is precious! The choice of meals is great too and we appreciate how its often changed up! We are updated regularly, and supported always! Its amazing how much our girl has developed and become such a funny, clever and loving character and honestly we cannot thank the nursery enough. From the baby room to the bouncy room, and for all the rooms to come, we couldn't be happier!

My daughter has been attending here since April 2025 and since then I have never had an bad word to say about the nursery. The baby room girls are amazing and I feel like they look after my daughter with so much care and always makes sure she is happy. All the staff are polite and friendly and welcoming.

Amazing nursery.

I have been using the nursery for my boys for over 9 years now. All of them have gone in with ease looking forward to their day ahead. The staff have been amazing throughout and all of the children have developed lovely connections with staff and other children at the nursery! My eldest two have left now and still talk about their memories at nursery. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!

My daughter is in the baby room and started at 9 months old and honestly its been fantastic. She took to everyone straight away and does so many activites and fun things, she comes home happy and tired! The main thing is I can tell all the staff really truly care about her, and thats the most important thing to me. She eats well there too! The manager even greet everyone every morning its a lovely place to be. Thank you Mama Bears!

Our daughter is absolutely thriving at Mama Bears Springhill Green. Our daughter's key worker, Charley, and SENCO, Sarah, have been absolutely incredible with supporting our daughter and us as her parents through different referrals that have been needed to support our daughter. The food on offer at nursery is brilliant and such a wide variety of different food groups. Our daughter loves going to nursery, especially playing out in the large garden they have. Our daughter's day is filled with so many different activities, incorporating different religious holidays which is brilliant for learning. Overall, we are so happy that we chose Mama Bears for our daughter's nursery, every member of staff at the nursery are amazing and I could never thank them enough for everything.

The staff are always super helpful if I have any updates for our son or any queries.

Since my child has attended the nursery all the staff have always been good to keep me in the loop with his day on collection and have been sure to call/contact me in the moment if they happen to have any concerns.

I get regular picture and general updates on the app on a day to day basis and reports etc are uploaded regularly.

I am very happy with the variation of meals offered to my child and even if he does not eat much of it the staff will always make sure something else is offered so he doesn't go hungry.

When I have needed to temporarily move/change/cancel sessions my child would usually attend, every effort has been made by the team to accommodate this where they can even on the odd occasion when I was unable to give the standard 4 weeks notice they require, and nothing has ever been too much trouble for them.

Admin have also been very helpful when I have had queries with payment for fees etc.

My son has been attending the setting for over 6months now. We felt instantly at ease with the practitioners and the lovely setting. Our child had some difficulty with his speech; however since attending Mama Bear's he has thrived and is making great progress. The support of the staff and management has been wonderful and we are so pleased with our child's development.

Really good team at the nursery. Our son loves his time there and is developing really well due to the care given by the mama bears team. Everybody in the setting is very positive and kind, Especially the girls the the front desk.

We love SG Mama Bears and would recommend it to anyone.
