Review from Lara S (Mother of Child) published on 22 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have used Mama Bear's in Midvale Road since June 2017 and we are so happy putting our son here. The staff are so friendly and welcoming to everyone being approachable and kind. Our son enjoys going to nursery and is excitable when we mention it. The girls in the baby room have been phenomenal in
terms of his development, a massive thank you to you both. They interact with him and encourage development for areas he's working on such as potty training, signing, talking. It's lovely to see our son interact with the other children when we're dropping him off or picking him up. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone. A huge support for us has been how accommodating they have been with booking in childcare sessions and they differ week by week, month by month.

Review from Kitty H (Mother of Child) published on 3 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are extremely happy with Mama Bear's as a nursery setting for our daughter. She has been attending since she was 12 months old (now 3.5 years) and we have always been really pleased with the level of support, learning, activities etc. Our daughter is extremely happy here and is learning new things
every day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the nursery to anyone.

The staff have always been so friendly and welcoming. Having been through a very hard and tough personal issue, they have supported me and my son as much as possible to try to keep my son happy. If it wasn't for Mama Bear's staff, my son wouldn't be the happy clever little boy he has become.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mama Bears is a very warm, welcoming and friendly nursery where my boy enters with a nervous disposition and leaves very happy and content and full of energy. Staff take time to show a great deal of care and concern for my child's development and well-being, and are supportive and encouraging.


The

times of the sessions are very convenient and competitively priced. The atmosphere is relaxed and bright with a real sense of warmth and nurturing. I am very happy with the childcare that the staff within this setting provide for my son.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.786) out of 10 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Paignton - Midvale Road) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.986 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Paignton - Midvale Road) is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.986
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Paignton - Midvale Road) is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 56 number of registered child places is 11.2, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
