Review from Fiona P (Mother of Child) published on 30 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Fantastic facility. My son was only here for a short time but he settled so well and the staff never made us feel like they were only a stop-gap measure. Staff are incredibly kind, long tenured and just a really great experience. My kids have been in 4 nurseries / childminder facilities in total, and I wish I'd found this one first! I never would have moved!

Overall Experience
We've had a great experience with this nursery. The staff are caring, friendly and do a fantastic job making learning and activities engaging and enjoyable for the children. The food is also excellent, with a good variety of healthy meals.

The only area that could be improved is the facilities, which would benefit from some development and updating. That said, the quality of care, learning environment and the dedication of the staff more than make up for it. Overall, it's a wonderful nursery and we'd happily recommend it.

Overall Experience

Both my children have attended Nuffy Bear nursery and absolutely loved it. The staff really care about the children and encourage them to grow and learn. Choosing a nursery to entrust them with the care of your children is a difficult decision but I would thoroughly recommend Nuffy.

Reply from Cassie Arnell, Nursery Manager at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Crawley

Thank you for your review, its great to hear that you would recommend us as a nursery. Watching them both grow and learn has been truly special for us!

Review from Georgia G (Mother of Child) published on 29 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We couldn't be happier with our experience at this nursery. From the very beginning, the staff have gone out of their way to make sure our 11 month old daughter was supported while adjusting to her new routine. She settled really quickly with all of this care , which we were very grateful for!

In just a few months, we've seen a huge change in how our daughter has developed which has been lovely. The Communication from the nursery has been excellent, and we always feel informed about her day at nursery.

The staff totally make this nursery the lovely place that it is, and we will be really sad to leave! Thank you for everything!

Review from S H (Mother of Child) published on 31 March 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We have been using Nuffy Bear nursery since 2018. First with my son who is now in school and with my daughter from 2023. The staff are fantastic. They know my children so well and always want the best for them. There is always something new to do when the children arrive in the mornings and they are keen for children to explore their interests and make sure they are school ready. The swimming lessons are something which you will not have at most nurseries and my daughter has gained so much confidence from them, as well as yoga and football sessions, arts and crafts, imaginative play etc. I cannot recommend them enough.

Reply from Cassie Arnell, Nursery Manager at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Crawley

Thank you so much for your review, its great to hear how confident she has grown in preparation for her school journey. We love the little extras too, especially the swimming! Cassie

Review from A B (Mother of Child) published on 6 October 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son started NuffyBear when he was 2 years old. We were initially quite nervous entering him into a childcare setting as he had suffered with health conditions and had only ever been left in the care of his grandparents for short periods. During our initial visit to NuffyBear, the assistant manager Albie was very reassuring they could cater to the needs of our Son ensuring a detailed care plan was in place. Our first impressions were that the nursery was exceptionally clean, and the children all seemed happy and thriving and the staff seemed attentive and genuinely caring towards the children, which was also reassuring. Our son had struggled initially with nursery drop offs and the staff have been extremely patient, kind and keen to help him settle, and within five minutes he would be happily dancing with the nursery assistants. Since starting NuffyBear, he has become more independent, and his confidence is growing daily. The staff provide him with everything he needs and more.

Overall Experience
Nuffy Nursery has been wonderful! Our Son joined the nursery 3 years ago and is now starting school this September. I feel the nursery have prepared him beautifully for this next stage in his life, something I will always be grateful for.

The staff particularly have been amazing. I see them now as extended family. They are knowledgeable, friendly and fun. They think up creative things to keep the children entertained and educated. There have been times as a mother, I've needed guidance and they have helped me every time. I will be incredibly sad to say goodbye to them all. I've trusted them with my child for years, and my Son loves them all too. I have and would completely recommend them. The beginning years are so important, and they were the perfect fit!

Nuffy bear management and staff are amazing, They have such an amazing team who are all equally kind hearted and polite.
they have made me and my husband feel very welcomed and comfortable with the service that they provide at nuffy bear. Nuffy bear have supported our baby to be a independent and confident little girl,who is thriving in her own personality.

We will very much miss everyone there at nuffy bear, we couldn't thank them enough.

Review from Fatou S (Mother of Child) published on 20 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I noticed that this nursery was special when I first visited the setting. Overall, the atmosphere was positive, the children seemed happy and content, and the staff were very friendly. My daughter joined the nursery in December 2024 and the staff were so supportive in the initial stages to ensure that it would be a positive experience for our family. Looking back, I could not be happier with how well she has settled in. She adores her key worker, has made some new friends, and is constantly learning new things.

Reply from Albie Latham, Acting Nursery Manager at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Crawley

Thank you for the lovely comments and as a new parent knowing how the nursery experience has been positive to you all and your daughter is rewarding for us all to hear.

I am very happy with my son's nursery. The staff are lovely and I 100% trust he is in good hands when he is there. He has settled in well and doesn't cry when I leave him anymore, as he knows he is ok. He is 19 months old and in the baby section. Staff always keep me updated on their app and send regular updates about his progress.

Review from Shahzeb A (Father of Child) published on 22 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend Nuffy Bear Day Nursery highly enough. From the very first day, the staff have been absolutely wonderful in providing a warm, welcoming, and caring environment for my son and daughter. My son has a severe sight impairment, and as a parent, it's not easy trusting others with his care. However, the team at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery has gone above and beyond to ensure he feels safe, supported, and valued.
I'm grateful for the continuous communication and the way they keep me informed about his progress and daily experiences. It's reassuring to know that my son is not only being well cared for but is thriving in an environment where everyone takes a personal interest in his growth.

The team at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery has made a real difference in our lives, and I'm so thankful for their dedication and exceptional care. It's clear that this is a place where children with all abilities are celebrated and supported.

Overall Experience

This is the second time we have used Nuffy Bear Day Nursery and couldn't recommend it enough! Our daughter was there from age 1 till 4 and she loved it! The staff are amazing, as a first-time parent they were very helpful, understanding and made us feel at ease. Our daughter learnt so much and her speech and social skills improved massively while being at Nuffy. She was so ready for school and that's all down to Nuffy! She's also made some friends for life which we still see outside of nursery. Our son is currently at Nuffy Bear and he's loving his time there. Learning new things, trying new foods. When children turn 3 they are also entitled to start swimming lessons. We thought this was a great extra as most nurseries don't offer this. Our daughter now loves swimming which lessons really helped with. If you're thinking of joining Nuffy Bear - do it!

Review from Shelley H (Mother of Child) published on 13 May 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Such a lovely nursery where you can tell the staff really cares about the children. It is quite a small setting so the care provided feels very personal. My daughter took a little while to initially settle in however, the staff were so patient with her and kept me and her dad updated constantly all whilst reassuring us that this was normal. She has been going to nursery now for over a year and she absolutely loves it and is thriving! The app is also great for keeping us updated. Overall I would highly recommend this nursery to anybody.
