We were so worried about our little girl starting nursery but the girls at Bubbly Bear have been amazing.


She's gone from crying when we first took her in to now getting excited as soon as we pull up at the door.


Kristina, Natalie and the rest of the staff are absolutely top class.


Highly

highly recommended

I couldn't be happier with this nursery. All the staff are so kind, patient, and genuinely caring towards my daughter, Alyssa. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she's safe and in such a nurturing environment.


Alyssa absolutely loves going there and loves all the staff, which says everything.

She's always happy and settled, and it's clear how comfortable she feels. She's learnt so much since starting, such as sign language, and they provide great sensory activities that really support her development.


The team are always accommodating with personal needs and take the time to understand each child. As a parent, it means the world to know she's not only safe but also happy and thriving. I would highly recommend this nursery.

Reply from Natalie Rowe-Eyres, Manager at Bubbly Bear Day CareThank you so much for your lovely words, Alyssa is such a pleasure to look after, her beautiful smiles always brighten up the room!

Bubbly Bear Nursery has been an absolute blessing for our family. My child, now 11 months old, has been welcomed with such warmth and care from the very beginning and it truly feels like a home away from home. Every morning, he's greeted with the loveliest smiles, which instantly reassures me that he's
in the best hands.
The range of engaging activities is fantastic, especially all the fun, messy play that supports his sensory development. From textures and colours to creative exploration, it's everything I wish I had the time (and energy) to set up at home. It's so comforting to know he's learning, exploring, and developing new skills in such a nurturing environment.
One of my favourite things is the regular updates through the app. I receive detailed updates and beautiful photos throughout the day, which makes me feel involved and comforted that my child is happy and thriving! Loooooove it!!!
Reply from Natalie Rowe-Eyres, Manager at Bubbly Bear Day CareThank you for your lovely words, it is such a pleasure to look after your beautiful boy, he brings so much joy to the nursery!

I'm really grateful for this nursery and the amazing team working there. They are incredibly kind and very patient with the children. My daughter cries a lot and it was not easy for her at the beginning, but the staff were very understanding and took great care of her.


With their support and patience,

she gradually started to feel comfortable. Now she is happier there, enjoying her time and even eating well. It really means a lot to see her feeling safe and cared for. Thank you for your kindness and dedication.

My little girl has attended bubbly bears since September she was 2 when started and is now 3. The staff were amazing on settling in days which were never rushed and had plenty of them. The staff are also very supportive towards me as a parent as well and they were a huge support when it came to toilet
training . They use an app which is updated on each day my little girl is in nursery and lets me know her routine and what she has eaten for that day. During her time here they celebrate lots of different days where the children can come in dressed and has brought home lots of attention work for these days. I would recommend bubbly bears to anyone who would like a warm welcoming home to home feel like nursery

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our triplets receive at this childcare setting. From the very beginning, the staff have gone above and beyond to understand each of our children as individuals, while also managing the unique dynamics that come with caring for three at once.


The

team is incredibly patient, nurturing, and well-organised. They create a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where our children feel secure and excited to learn and play every day. We especially appreciate how they keep us updated with regular feedback, photos, and insights into each child's development - it really reassures us as parents.


Handling triplets is no small task, but the staff make it look effortless. They ensure each child gets equal attention, encouragement, and affection, helping them grow both independently and together. We've seen such positive progress in their social skills, confidence, and happiness.


We are truly grateful for the dedication and professionalism shown.

Reply from Natalie Rowe-Eyres, Manager at Bubbly Bear Day CareThank you so much for your lovely words! It is a pleasure to look after your children, they all bring so much joy to the nursery, always making everyone smile, they are very popular with all the children and any visitors we have!

We've had such a wonderful experience with Zidan and Ayla at the nursery. Ayla spent two years there, and she absolutely loved her time-she was always happy to go in, made great friendships, and grew in confidence so much during her time there.


Zidan has been attending since he was just 10 months

old, and the progress he's made has been incredible to see. He has come along so well in every aspect, and it's clear how much care, attention, and support the team provide.


We're really grateful for everything the nursery has done for both Ayla and Zidan.

My son Donatello has made wonderful progress since starting at Bubbly Bear Day Care. The staff are kind, supportive, and truly care about the children. He has become more confident, social, and excited to learn new things every day. It's clear the team works hard to create a safe, fun, and nurturing
environment. I'm very grateful for the positive impact they've had on his development and would happily recommend this daycare to other parents.

We couldn't be happier with Bubble Bear Nursery. My daughter, who is 1 year old, is currently attending, and she absolutely loves it. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and supportive, and they truly make every child feel safe and valued.


My son previously attended Bubble Bear as well, and

we had such a positive experience that choosing it again for our daughter was an easy decision. It's been wonderful to see the same nurturing environment, engaging activities, and genuine dedication from the team.


The nursery provides a warm, welcoming atmosphere where children can learn, grow, and build confidence. Communication with parents is always clear and reassuring, which gives us great peace of mind.


We're so grateful to the whole team and would highly recommend Bubble Bear Nursery to any parent looking for a loving and professional childcare setting.

Reply from Natalie Rowe-Eyres, Manager at Bubbly Bear Day CareThank you so much for your kind words, we make every child a priority in our setting and try our best to provide the best possible care for each individual child. It is a pleasure to look after your little girl and see how she is thriving since starting with us, your little boy was always a pleasure to look after too!

I am so happy with the decision to send my son to Bubbly Bear. It was a year ago we looked round and felt this was such a wonderful place and completed the settling in days. Returning to work was hard but was made so much easier knowing my son was cared for so well. He absolutely loves nursery and is
thriving there. He's eager to tell me about nursery and the names of staff he has seen even in the beginning of him starting to make sentences.
The beautiful crafts he makes are amazing and it's clear such thought and care goes into all the activities when I view the pictures on the app.
I would fully recommend this nursery, fantastic!
Reply from Natalie Rowe-Eyres, Manager at Bubbly Bear Day CareThank you for your lovely words, it is a pleasure to look after your little boy, he has come on so much since starting with us and has grown in confidence, especially since starting his visits in the next room which he is definitely ready for!

This nursery has been fantastic for my little ones as well as for me as a parent. Two of my children have attended Bubbly Bear and my youngest son is soon to start too.
The like home feel the nursery provides made settling in, everyday attendance and want to return feeling easy for my children. I always
find it super easy to talk to the staff.
I can't thank and rate this nursery enough for all their hard work and dedication

My daughter has been at Bubbly Bear Day Care now for around sixteen months and we have been really happy with our choice to send her to Bubbly Bear.
The staff are always so friendly and she has built a really good relationship with all the staff.
Communication is always very good from staff and management.
After each day, we always get a rundown of the day and also via the nursery app.
I think, ultimately, my daughter is happy, always tells us when she is home of all the fun she has been up to with her friends and the other staff. Her confidence has grown although she is quite shy and look forward to seeing her develop over the next year or so before she moves on to reception.
I would highly recommend Bubbly Bear to any parents looking for a really warm, friendly environment for their children to develop in their early years.

My son is being well looked after and seems happy to be at this nursery. The staff are lovely, they all know him and he almost always smiles when he's being handed over. They do lots of different activities that we get to see at home or work from the app. We're always told if he's had naps, what he's
eaten and how much he's eaten, told if he's developed any rashes or become a bit under the weather. His key worker is really good with him and she takes an interest in knowing more about him from outside of nursery as well as the other staff too. Managers are always present and know the children and are involved in their care as well as their other jobs. My son originally came from a nursery that wasn't caring for him properly, so it's nice for him to go to a nice nursery, that care for him well.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.824)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.824) out of 10 for Bubbly Bear Day Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.949 for Bubbly Bear Day Care is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.949
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bubbly Bear Day Care is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 15 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.
