We love this nursery and are very happy that our child is there. The only thing that lets it down a bit is the lack of outside space! The staff are lovely and the management really cares about the kids, works hard and is effective - there have been quite a few new initiatives over the last year.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'd highly recommend Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Brondesbury Park to my family and friends. Our son and daughter have been there since they were 2.5 and 10 months old, they attended a different nursery prior to that. We were so impressed at our first visit by the staff, cleanliness, range of wooden toys
and activities, and the baby room is set up like a comfortable home. In the toddler and pre-school rooms, they have well planned stimulating, fun and learning activities balanced with exercise (yoga and swimming) and plenty of time in the studio to play, ride and dance. Food is especially good, great variety and focus on healthy nutritious meals, they also have cookery classes for the kids every week. For peace of mind, safety and security measures are very good, and staff provide a good and always friendly handover at pick up. My kids are happy, confident and their independence is growing, I'm extremely happy too!

Nuffy Bear has truly become an extension of our family over the last three years and counting. A few of the staff have come and gone, but much more have remained. This stability, the dedication of the entire team, the security, the variety of age-appropriate activities and learning are what make this
place a top quality nursery. Nutritious meals are prepared daily by an on-site chef and they are as tasty as they sound on the rotating lunch and tea menus! Our children seem happy, healthy, making friends and they are learning so much at Nuffy Bear Brondesbury Park.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our experience of Nuffy Bear Nursery has always been a positive one. Both my children have gone there and they have always enjoyed it. The staff are helpful, informative and available at all times. I recommended other members of my family that they send their children there too which they have done.
I work, which means I miss out on some valuable times with my children but I feel that they have been very well educated at Nuffy Bear and I am always pleased to see them progress with numbers, words, toilet training etc. It puts my mind at rest that they are being very well looked after when I am at work. I like that Nuffy Bear is part of the health centre. It means they make use of the swimming pool and the studios for yoga and other activities. All in all, I feel it was a very good decision to send both my children to Nuffy Bear. It's given them a great start in experiencing the outside world and making friends.


Thank you!

Our daughter has been at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery since she was 9 months old (she is now 4 years old). She is a very happy, healthy and confident child who loves the activities provided by the nursery such as swimming, yoga, playing in the dance studio and the outdoor play area. The management and staff
are excellent and I am very grateful to them making my return to work so much easier.
I highly recommend it! It is a friendly, flexible and professional place to have your child.

Review from Joanna A (Mother of Child) published on 6 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We chose the nursery for our daughter after having been impressed with the manager and staff on a visit when I was 8 months pregnant. My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 13 months, and is now nearly 4.
The staff are great with the children, keeping them engaged, involved and entertained
at all times. The nursery has grown and evolved a lot in the last 3 years with new activities introduced for the children - from swimming lessons to yoga classes. My daughter has a great time each day. I feel informed as a parent as the staff give comprehensive feedback and the manager is always available for a chat and to help you feel reassured about your child's progress.
A lot of my daughter's development with key skills such as potty training, writing, eating independently and wanting to help out with household chores is all thanks to the nursery.
The only drawback is the outside space is small - but this is a common theme with London nurseries.

Review from Bridget G (Mother of Child) published on 2 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am very grateful for all the hard work and effort they made to support my boy who had a speech delay. Due to speech delay, my little one was very frustrated which resulted in lots of tantrums! They took the time to write up an individual plan for him and action it! They also worked with the external
speech and language therapists who were who were able to share tips like which activities would help him. Nuffy Bear didn't just stop when my child left the nursery and started school in January 2017, they arranged to meet with his new school to give them lots of information, tips and forwarded all his reports and plans which meant I didn't have to start all over again! They definitely gave him a good start in life.

The Nuffy Bear Day Nursery at Brondesbury Park is a wonderful place for my son to grow up since he was 11 months old.


They have a wonderful number of activities as swimming, yoga, bakery and other exercises so the kids also develop themselves physically while having lots of fun.


They teach the

kids playing, so the kids enjoy learning new things daily; when I access the rooms, I can see that they have lots of fun learning.


The team is really nice, always smiling and I always know what my little one has been doing while I'm working so I don't miss his new achievements.


My son is a particular eater and when he is in the nursery he eats very well and also tries many different dishes that I wouldn't know how to introduce to him at home.


The best way to know that this is the right place for my son, it's when I pick him up and he has a huge smile on his face and he doesn't stop talking about his teachers and friends at nursery. His reaction shows me that we chose the right place.

My daughter has been at the nursery since she was 11 months. It is always difficult when the time comes to leave your child in care of others. The nursery made every effort to make this transition seamless and positive. My daughter is now over 2. She loves the nursery and looks forward to going in every
day. My daughter has made many friends and has learnt so many new skills which make her happy and confident. We are pleasantly surprised on a daily basis! The staff are fantastic, very supportive, knowledgeable and caring. Nothing is ever too much effort. The facilities are great too. Being part of a health club, there is a lot of space for various extra activities, including yoga, swimming, playing in the studio and garden. I often recommend Nuffy Bear to friends and family.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.580)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.580) out of 10 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Brondesbury Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 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 4.617 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Brondesbury Park is calculated as follows: ( (31 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.617
  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 3.963 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Brondesbury Park is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 34 number of registered child places is 6.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.588
  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.
