Overall Experience

Overall lovely team, shame about outside space, as well as the breakfast items don’t match the brochure. But my child is overall happy here and has fun during the day and has a lot to talk about on the car ride home.

Nuffy Bear is such a nice warming place where I feel completely at ease for the care given to my children and others. We are always welcome, the staff engage with parents in the growth and development of the kids.

Nursery manager and assistant are so open and friendly, they are always very helpful and understanding.

Review from L K (Mother of Child) published on 7 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We have been with Nuffy Bear for 4 years now with 2 children, one of whom has left for school. All of the staff at Nuffy Bear are like family to us and each and every one shows affection and kindness to both girls. Communication is always clear and with the new app showing meals etc we can have a better handover about the activities that they’ve done that day so much better.
The nursery is always clean, and my children rarely have colds, sickness etc so hygiene and infection control is great. I actively recommend Nuffy Bear to my friends and family.

Outside space is small in comparison to other settings but enough my my girls.

Review from N B (Mother of Child) published on 1 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Nuffy Bear Nursery they look after my two boys so well my youngest from 9 months old and I wouldn’t want them anywhere else. My eldest said to me in the car this morning 'I am so excited to go to nursery'. They never go in upset just always so excited and happy to see all the staff and cuddle them. They eat and play and learn so well there that we couldn’t feel more content to have our boys at Nuffy which has made going back to work both times so much more manageable knowing they are so happy where they are. The outside truthfully may be ever so slightly small but there is no doubt they make the absolute most of it playing games and with bikes and toys and the kids get to be outside all day whatever the weather so that certainly makes up for it.

Overall Experience

Nuffy Bear Nursery is a perfect place for our kids, it is a very warm, comforting, welcoming and child-friendly environment and facilities. Very professional, kind and always smiling teachers. I feel like my kids are in an ongoing active learning process. I love their communication and the fact that it's very important for them to keep updating us parents. My kids are always happy to go, and once back home always remind me how good their day was and how happy they feel every time they attend the nursery. Thank you very much to all the staff at Nuffy Bear Nursery Crawley.

Review from K F (Mother of Child) published on 4 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Nuffy Bear is such a brilliant Nursery. I have seen my clever, shy little boy flourish into a confident socialite. He has been encouraged, guided and supported since joining at 12 months and is really thriving under the nursery's leadership and the whole team.
I am a naturally anxious mum, and I have a particularly sensitive little boy. Both of us feel very supported by the Nuffy Bear team... there is never a question too silly or a person too busy to help.

I cannot wait for my little girl to join in August next year and watch her thrive there too.

Review from Carly H (Grandmother of Child) published on 24 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My grandson, who is now in my full-time care, has been attending Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Crawley since September 2022. I have found the staff to be so helpful and supportive through a very tough time. My grandson has excelled in his social skills, physically and mentally. He has really benefitted with the routine and stability that the nursery provides in a very warm and friendly environment. This has helped him to become a very happy, confident little boy who has so much joy when attending Nuffy Bear Day Nursery.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery for 2 years and she is very happy there. She's made a lot of friends and has formed lovely bonds with the staff. We are very happy with her development and believe the staff at Nuffy Bear have played a large part in helping that. We receive regular updates through the app as well as handovers in person at the end of the day.

Overall Experience

As first time parents, we couldn't have asked for a better nursery! The staff are brilliant, caring and kind. They take the time to get to know every child. The food is good and the activities varied. It's a shame the outdoor space isn't bigger and they don't use an app but I believe this is in the pipeline. We would recommend Nuffy Bear Day Nursery at Crawley, our daughter loves it!

Review from B F (Mother of Child) published on 14 March 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our son attends Nuffy Bear Crawley and we are very happy with the care they provide. All of the staff (not just his key worker) make a real effort to get to know him and his interests, and he often tells us that he had fun and asks to go back. They really care about him and provide affection/cuddles when needed as well as play. There's a wide range of toys and play equipment and also activities such as painting and games. We have daily updates on what he has done and also regularly learning logs about his development. The food is very good and the nursery were happy to cater for any dietary requirements. It was such a relief to find such a nice nursery where we know our son is looked after to such a high standard.

Review from Ausrine V (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

We took our 2 year old daughter to the Nuffy Bear Day Nursery after a bad experience with the settling in process at another nursery. We were nervous as we did not know how all of this is going to be here. But the team made it so smooth. Manager was very accommodating and made it all around our daughter. She was not rushed into the unknown. She was slowly and very gently introduced to the team. Also, she was given a bespoke amount of days for the settle in process. After a month at the nursery, we can see a huge change in our daughter. She's started eating better and following general rules where before it was not possible to set some boundaries. We're absolutely happy we found Nuffy Bear Nursery and very happy to be part of the team! Thank you to the manager and all the nurses.

Overall Experience

My daughter started going to nursery in January this year. The ladies made the process so easy and despite having to be masked up very friendly and welcoming. I've seen a difference with learning and feeding. My daughter always has a good time and sleeps well after a nursery day. The staff have been amazing helping me as a new mum to navigate it all and highly recommend Nuffy Bears Nursery Crawley.
