Review from Alexandra H (Mother of Child) published on 14 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My children are happy and really tired at the end of the day. We feel they get a well balanced diet and good mix of outdoor and indoor activities. The only feedback we have is that it is not clear what constitutes "consumables" as part of the charges and we have to supply dairy free milk which feels unfair.

After a poor experience elsewhere Nuffy Bear Nursery took my concerns on board and went above and beyond. They made my little girl come back to her happy self. The nursery staff are excellent always happy and friendly. My little girl runs into nursery every morning and I know she will always have a busy day. The extra activities available like swimming and cooking are amazing too. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone.

Overall Experience
The staff and environment at Nuffy Bear are absolutely fantastic. My son loves attending here and the staff are so warm towards him. We are always alerted when something has happened, and told how they comforted him to calm him down.

The meals here are also brilliant, sometimes I am disbelief of how well he is eating!

Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with Nuffy Nursery. The staff are truly wonderful - kind, caring, attentive, and always focused on the children's individual needs. My daughter is thriving there, and it's clear how much effort the team puts into creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. The team are brilliant, and I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough. It's reassuring to know she is in such capable and compassionate hands every day.

Fantastic nursery and staff. Couldn't ask for more. I always get the sense everyone loves working there and enjoys their time with the children. We've got two children there and have no regrets in our decision to send them in 5 days. Keep up the fantastic work everyone!!!!

Our daughter has settled into nursery beautifully. She is well cared for and I feel the staff have a close connection with her and her wellbeing. She has a good relationship with the staff there who I believe work really hard and really do care.

The staff at Nuffy are everything you could hope for, warm, caring and invested in all the children. I really appreciate the whole team - they work so hard and it doesn't go unnoticed. It's such a comfort knowing my little girl is surrounded by people who really care and they're a big part of her becoming the person she's growing into.

Overall Experience

Absolutely fantastic nursery, the first thing I noticed whilst having our induction was the sheer space and how clean everything is. They have all types of toys and activities for the babies/children to enjoy. The staff are so lovely and kind, amazing communication whilst my daughter is in their care. Another great thing is they focus a lot of healthy nutritious meals. I am so glad I made the choice to send my daughter here.

We send both our 4-year-old and our 11-month-old sons to Nuffy Bear. The staff go out of their way to care and nurture them. They tell us stories each day about how the boys get on. They are quick to respond to queries and get to know our children's personalities. We are really grateful for all their support.

Overall Experience
I can't thank Nuffy Bear Day Nursery enough for everything they do for myself and my son who attends, the staff all go above and beyond for every child. My son loves attending the nursery, especially when I was so worried about him starting and being away from me as he has additional needs, they were very understanding and listened to my concerns. I never expected the experience we have with the nursery, my worries and concerns went away after seeing my son settle in so well. I would highly recommend to everyone who is looking for a nursery to put their children in.

A big thank you to all the Nuffy Bear Nursery staff.

My son loves coming to Nuffy Bear Cottingley. The staff are absolutely fantastic with him and his needs. Nothing is too much trouble. At the start of his nursery days it was a worry (mum anxiety) how he would settle in. Thank goodness he had the loving care of the nursery staff who always reassured me. I'm so happy he is taken care of in a nurturing way.

Sammie Lund Job Title: Nursery Manager Joined: 2004
Sammie Lund
I have worked in Early Years for the past 18 years. Growing up I always knew that I wanted to work with young people. So when I left school I knew exactly which path I wanted to take. I qualified as a Level 3 practitioner, I found work here in Cottingley and I've been here ever since. I have always been passionate about supporting babies and young children with their learning and developing, paying particular attention to patterns in behaviour and for what each child needs individually to thrive. I love watching the children in our care grow and being a part of that support network for their families.
18 years I have worked at Nuffy Bear previously known as Cottingley Manor and I have enjoyed every minute.

As I progressed through my career I knew that I wanted to share that knowledge I have gained during that time with other practitioners so that together we can achieve great outcomes for all children.
