Review from Regina M (Mother of Child) published on 9 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't start to let you know how much I loved it at Brown Bears Nursery. The team and children are so diverse and very cultured. They make me feel like family and any questions or struggles I had, as a single mom, they would help me with. I love the different, cultural food, celebrations and events
that they would have, to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated. Brown Bears Nursery will forever be a part of my child's and my memories and lives. I've built relationships that are still standing strong with many of the team and other families as well.
Thank you all so much.

I've had two children attend Brown Bears Nursery. My last child is about to leave to go to school. Both children have attended Brown Bears since babies. The care and love that my children have received at nursery has been amazing! The staff at the nursery are so loving and have allowed both my children
to flourish and have prepared them for school. I am due to have another baby this September and my baby will also be attending Brown Bears next year.

Review from N D (Mother of Child) published on 8 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
The manager is blunt, no partnership with parents. If you are a new mum and this is your first experience at this setting it will not be the best. I was told I would not be informed of activities as this isn't done every day. My son came home in his sister's shoes which were clearly too small for him.
Concerns were told to the manager and staff as there was only one member of staff with 9 children in the room alone - ratio (is 1/4) and that was followed by the deputy saying “When did she start working here?”. Then the manager follows up by stating they have a lone working policy. They were still over ratio and that is a safeguarding issue. My children were removed and when I called to let the manager know what had made me uncomfortable her response was ok. If I could give no stars I would. These are my children, my whole heart and the lack of care, attention, compassion, and no person to comfort them (no keyworker). Is just heartbreaking.

We have a fantastic nursery that has been operating for over 10 years and this is a review from a parent whose children had only been in our setting for a total of 9 hours - 2 settling in sessions…read more

Review from Miriam P (Mother of Child) published on 6 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has attended Brown Bears since he was 11 months old. He's nearly 3 years old now and very happy there. It has a warm feel, the staff really care about the children and know all of them. The managers are lovely. They have high standards but are friendly and approachable. I'm impressed by the range
of fun educational activities he gets up to like yoga, arts and crafts, even learning phonics in a fun way. His key workers have given me great feedback about his development and have encouraged him to learn skills like putting on his coat himself. There are two gardens, they're small but this is to be expected in London and my son enjoys the equipment. The food is good and the nursery is really clean and well-presented. I'm extremely grateful as the fees are also reasonable compared to other nurseries in the area.

Our son has been attending Brown Bears for over a year now and has transitioned from baby to toddler room. The is amazing, really warm and welcoming, you can feel her passion for the kids and ensuring Brown Bears is a comfortable, secure, fun, diverse and happy place for all. From day one the staff
have been exceptional, friendly and accommodating and have doted on our son, whilst also teaching him essential social skills and boundaries - this has been really crucial to his development as a toddler. He squeals excitedly when we arrive most mornings, eager to learn and play with his friends. It's such a relief for us as we know that he is happy every day, especially now he is a little older, he can talk about what he is learning, who he has played with etc. and we can view his activities live in action via the Tapestry system. For us, Brown Bear offers a 10/10 service! Thank you to the manager and the team for your daily devotion to our son, and all of the children.

Current Review Score: 7.0 (6.992)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.0 (6.992) out of 10 for Brown Bears Nursery - Palmers Green is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 2 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 3.667 for Brown Bears Nursery - Palmers Green is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 3.667
  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 3.325 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brown Bears Nursery - Palmers Green is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 50 number of registered child places is 10. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.2
  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.
