Nuffy Bear Day Nursery St Albans

My son is always very well taken care of and happy at Nuffy Bear. Runs in to see his friends and the toys in the morning and greets us with a smile and wave at pick up. He has really thrived since he started around 1 year old, learning to walk and draw scribbles within his first week and becoming a very social little boy. The staff know him very well and always keep us updated on his progress.

My son has attended Nuffy Bear since he was 6 months old. He has thrived in the baby room and due to the care and dedication of the staff is now ready for him move to the toddler room. The daily blogs are a fantastic way to know what your little one has been up to each day and see the range of different activities available for them to explore. Staff are warm and welcoming and management always greet with a smile making drop off a pleasant experience. Thank you to all the team at Nuffy for the care you give my child it is much appreciated.

Reports are now daily and really informative. This hadn't always been the case but it's now clockwork and brilliant.

Our daughter started at 9 months old, I was nervous, to leave her but the staff in the baby room have been fantastic. She is settled, loves all the craft and fun activities, every day she does something new and creative. All the staff know every detail about our daughter's day. It shows they care and she is very happy to play, she is nearly 2 years old now. It seems a very happy place to work and the staff have been the same throughout, it is a consistent and caring environment. They all work hard and it doesn't go unnoticed.

My child has attended Nuffy Bear St Albans since he was 6 months old. The care provided by the team is above and beyond. The management are extremely helpful and deal with queries as quickly as possible. The team write detailed posts daily to inform you of what your child has done during the day which is a lovely read in the afternoon. My son thoroughly enjoys the activities provided particularly the garden time and squash court sport sessions. I would recommend Nuffy Bear to anyone looking for childcare.

Nuffy Bear Nursery has been a wonderful place for our family, with all three of my children having attended, and one still happily going there. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and have always gone the extra mile to make sure each of my children feel safe, supported, and nurtured. The warm and welcoming environment has made it a second home for our children, giving them the confidence to grow, learn, and thrive. It's been comforting to know they are in such capable hands, and we're so grateful for the positive impact this nursery has had on their early years. Wouldn't think twice about recommending it to others!

I could not recommend Nuffy Bear St Albans Nursery more - the whole team and experience has been absolutely amazing! Our son started at 9 months and any concerns that we had were completely removed on day one by how amazing the manager and her team are. The management and girls in the baby room have been absolutely amazing and not only have they built such a strong bond with our son but also us as parents and show genuine care in our son's development. Our son always has such an amazing time at nursery whether it's playing in the garden, doing arts and crafts or running riot in the squash court. We have noticed such good developments in our son since he joined nursery which is a testament to the activities and next steps and the close work of his key worker. We have absolutely loved every minute of our nursery experience and cannot recommend the manager and her team more!

I would recommend Nuffy Bear to anyone looking for a nursery!

My two daughters attend Nuffy Bear Nursery St Albans and have done so now for over nine months. We have found everyone at the nursery to be so kind, they seem to genuinely care so much about our girls, their happiness and progress and always have time to talk to us about what has happened that day or anything we want feedback on. They are so imaginative with the activities (for under 2s) - lots of different arts and crafts, sensory and pretend play, singing, time outside and interacting with different people and toys. They have flexed time up and down for us as needed (min 4 weeks at a time) and generally are a brilliant support as part of our family journey. I can't thank them enough. We had to put the girls into nursery earlier than planned due to an emergency, but very quickly I was confident they were being well looked after and were happy. It's a bit further from us than other nurseries, but we couldn't change now - a brilliant team and a great nursery.

An absolutely delightful nursery, full of fun, life and colour. Brilliantly friendly and dedicated staff. Lots of engaging activities for the children. A perfect nursery choice for my children. Thoroughly recommend it!

We are delighted with our choice of Nuffy Bear Day Nursery. It was recommended by a neighbour whose sons attend. The staff are all so very warm and caring, communication in person and via updates in the app are fantastic, the food variety is great and we really like the themed events that the staff put on with the arts and crafts activities around it. Our daughters are really very happy there. A really great day nursery.

Really lovely nursery, very helpful and they provide a lot of information. Lovely staff and have helped my child a lot with their speaking and learning and give me daily updates on my child’s time at nursery.

My daughter has attended Nuffy Bear St Albans since she was 14 weeks old, she is now 13 months old and has thrived in their care. She has a close bond with her amazing key worker, and all of the other brilliant staff too - the management is caring, and responsive and everyone communicates well. I would not hesitate to recommend Nuffy Bear as a nursery to anyone - we are very happy with our choice!

I couldn’t recommend the nursery highly enough to any parent!

A huge thank you to all the Nuffy Bear team!

My son is nearly two and has attended Nuffy Bear from 12 months old. He is absolutely thriving there due to the positive, caring and homely environment. He has an amazing bond with his key worker and the other members of staff in the under 2s room. The nursery is very well run by the managers who are both experienced and skilled at what they do. My son loves the meals and snacks and eats a great variety of healthy food. He loves the creative/arty activities as well as the physical play both inside and outside. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Nuffy Bear.

Amazing staff. Very helpful, caring and incredible with communication. Great with allergies - we’ve never had any worry. My daughter loves her group and has so much fun! Has been wonderful for her development and social skills.

My little girl has been going to Nuffy for nearly a year now. All the staff know her so well and her little personality. She has come on leaps and bounds, and since going into the over two's room, the change in her has been immense. Her outgoing confidence now where everyone is her “friend”. She often comes home telling us all sorts of stories of what she’s been up to. Sending her to nursery was a choice rather than a necessity, but it has paid off in her social development.

I’m really pleased to be able to recommend Nuffy Bear St Albans. I had two of my children at the nursery. They have really developed their one-to-one's between the child and their key person and often move into a separate space to create a quality exchange with lower distractions. They have introduced the ‘Famly’ app within the last year that means that communications, records and meal time information is all easily accessible. The team are loving and warm and cuddles are always available which small children will need aplenty. Support with milestones and toilet training is abundant and the pace is parent led. We were seeing more diverse learning experiences, cause and effect etc. being introduced. They also have a lending library so the kids can choose a book to borrow. There are two gardens and they can seem a bit short of space but the kids seem to find plenty to do and are reluctant to leave at home-time. A good choice and plenty of parking (not to be undervalued!).
