Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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!

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.

Excellent nursery. The care and attention to detail are second to none. Our son has been there for a year and he is so advanced but also so happy. The staff genuinely love the children and go above and beyond to provide for them.

Review from Ausrine V (Mother of Child) published on 27 April 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

I was recommended this nursery by a friend and I'm so glad I chose Nuffy Bear in Crawley. The team are so friendly and professional. My twins took time to settle and they were so patient with them and always reassured me by sending pictures of them happy and playing. They seem very happy going to nursery
now and the team completely put me at ease. I completely feel they are in safe hands and I love reading their little books of what they have been doing when they are there.

We couldn't be happier with the nursery and the team. My daughters development is definitely enhanced by attending, especially her confidence and social skills. It is very reassuring seeing how happy she is to go in each day, as we know how much she enjoys her time there and the bond she has with the
staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We adopted our daughter in May 2018 and she joined Nuffy Bear in September 2018. The staff were so supportive, friendly and encouraging. I felt they really took the time to understand my daughter's needs and were fantastic communicating and updating me on her progress and development. Every time I drop
off and collect her up all the staff are fully engaged with the children and smiling. It’s a really positive environment and my daughter adores the staff and talks constantly about the activities and fun often reenacting events at home. The meals are healthy and nutritional with a varied choice that she enjoys. The table manners and routine encourages the children to be patient and polite.
I have visited many nurseries but the moment I stepped into Nuffy Bear and met the staff I knew it was right for my daughter.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Crawley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.839 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Crawley is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.839
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Crawley is based on 14 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 14 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.
