How the monthly figure is calculated.More info
- We work out the total cost across the year and divide by 12, so the figure shown is a smoothed monthly average. In practice, nurseries bill in different ways. Some bill monthly at this average. Others bill weekly, or charge for what happened that week or month, which can vary across the year. Confirm billing details with the nursery when you enquire.

Thank you for leaving a review, we appreciate your feedback.
My daughter attends Nuffy Bear and has done for almost 2 years. She is incredibly shy and hadn't left me before so nursery was a huge adjustment for her. The staff were and are still incredible with her and as a result she is more and more comfortable there. I love the menu they offer and the care...
They have taken the time to get to know my other children too and it's really supportive for us all. I would recommend them completely for families wanting a nursery to partner their child's development.

Our daughter started at Nuffy Bear just after her 1st birthday and she settled in so quickly because of the brilliant staff and facilities. Now in the toddler room, she goes into nursery very happily and enjoys playing with her friends and taking part in the engaging activities both indoors and outdoors. We particularly really like the parent communication app where staff always make an effort to post pictures of what she's been up to during the day, as well as what she's eaten and any sleep times. She is our chatty, funny little girl and the nursery has really helped to develop her confidence with peers. We really would recommend Nuffy Bear to prospective families.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. Your feedback is very important to us.

This nursery deserves more than 5 stars! Our daughter has been attending Nuffy Bear Nursery for almost a year and we are so happy we chose this nursery. All of the staff are so lovely and our daughter's key worker has taken the time to really get to know her, they have a great bond! The setting itself is stimulating, clean and safe and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our baby girl here, knowing she's in safe hands. We get updates throughout the day via the app, letting us know what she's been up to and the food they provide is great. I really couldn't recommend this nursery enough!
Thank you so much for leaving a review, I am thrilled to hear your feedback about the nursery and the care your family has received.
Our daughter was the youngest baby they had starting nursery at that time, we were very worried parents and wanted to make sure she was ok and they all knew what she needed. Honestly all the staff couldn't do enough for us, especially two members of staff in particular, our daughter has a bond with...
I would recommend to anyone, and I'm so glad we have them.

All the staff at Nuffy Bears make sending my daughter to nursery a much more comfortable experience. Everyone is friendly and willing to listen and address anything we want to discuss regarding my daughter’s care and learning. My daughter started quite shy and the staff reassured me and have watched and encouraged her to become more confident every day.
Thank you for your lovely comments, it is a pleasure to care for your child.

Nuffield Nursery have been so amazing and accommodating since my son started. I dreaded leaving him and returning to work, but the staff here are fantastic. I get regular updates and photos of him playing throughout the day. If I feel anxious or worried about him, all I have to do is message on the app and I get a reply in minutes. They have been extremely accommodating to his routine, ensuring they stick to his normal routine. I have had lots of updates on his milestone targets and what they are aiming for next, which as a first-time mum I love because I always stress about him hitting his milestones. He seems to love the food! He eats more at nursery than he does at home! The meals are always different and nutritional. Overall, my son is thriving at Nuffy Bear Nursery. He is happy, hitting milestones, eating good and sticking to his normal routine. Returning to work and leaving him was so daunting and scary, but the amazing staff here made it so much easier by being so supportive.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments, we are so happy to hear you are thrilled with the care that your son receives.
Lovely nursery. Kind and caring staff. My little boy and girl love going. Staff always update me on the online system and are always sharing photos of what they have been up to. Would definitely recommend.

I would recommend Nuffy Bear to anyone. My son has been going here for 2.5 years and absolutely loves it. The staff are so caring and get to know parents and children on a personal level and keep us well informed on our son's progress throughout the year via an app, conversations at pick up and parents evenings. They do plenty of activities above the day to day learning, such as going to soft play, going out for walks to collect leaves and they regularly have visitors attend like firefighters and dentists etc. as well as having parties (which parents can usually attend) for special occasions. The staff are very approachable and friendly and are always on hand to answer any questions and queries that I may have. My son also loves the variety of meals offered and the nursery are brilliant at catering for his allergy and making sure that he has never been left out because of it. We love it here and feel like part of the Nuffy Bear family, I'm so glad this is the nursery that we chose.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, we appreciate your kind words and are so glad you are happy with the service Nuffy Bear provides.

The staff take a genuine interest in his progress and development and they work tirelessly to come up with fun and engaging activities to help him thrive.
The team are always accommodating of our son’s needs and this has helped to ensure that he feels at home at nursery - he’s always happy to go in and he’s always greeted with a smile.
As a parent, I feel well-informed of his progress and involved in plans to push forward his development. Thanks to the whole team for the great work you do.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we very much appreciate it.

As you know it is always hard leaving your children, so finding the right nursery was important. I've been coming to Nuffy Bear for 2 years, both my children attend now and I could not fault the staff or the facilities, they are all lovely and they go above and beyond for the children always making sure they are happy and both my children have great bonds with them. I know they are looked after well, they always look forward to going to nursery and that makes me happy.

Our little girl loves going to nursery. From the moment we looked around, the communication we received has been amazing. Every big and little step going on with your child you are kept informed and given the opportunity to raise any concerns or questions. I was nervous when our daughter moved rooms but they ensured she settled in gradually and provided regular updates. The nursery manager is approachable and clearly cares about how the nursery is run and will get stuck in and help where needed and make sure she is visible to parents. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds and that's all down to the staff, they invest so much of themselves in the kids and it is clear to see. She has gone from being shy and reserved to super confident. Her key worker is fantastic and you can see the bond she has with everyone. We get daily updates and regular pictures showing what they are getting up to so you don't feel like you're missing out. Big thanks to all the staff- they are fab!!
Thank you so much for such lovely feed back. It is very much appreciated.

My two year old son attends Nuffy Bear Nursery twice a week and he really enjoys it. The staff are excellent and this is backed up in the short time it took him to settle in. We have seen so much improvement in his development, which has really accelerated since he started back in February. Before choosing the nursery we heard a lot of positives and it has delivered on all fronts. Thank you!
Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your kind words.

We arrived at this nursery after a very poor experience at a different (and outstanding rated) establishment, in which children were pretty much abandoned outside all day (and in any weather) on the excuse of 'letting them enjoy nature' or whatever, and in which a culture of back-covering, as opposed to proportionate response, was rife. Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Gloucester could not have been more different. For starters, our children's health benefited a lot - infections became fewer and further apart, and nappy rashes became exception rather than norm. The children's psychological well-being also improved markedly; they started to visibly enjoy going to nursery, rather than cling to our legs on drop-off and leave in tears in the afternoon. Staff are welcoming and helpful at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Gloucester, and genuinely focused on children well-being. Staff turnover is also very well managed, as changes in key person have never been overly problematic. Fellow parents, be assured: this place is great.
Thank you so much for your kind words, the staff and I very much appreciate it. It has been a pleasure caring for your children.

From the moment my partner and I looked around we had a good vibe, that vibe has continued. This is our first experience of a nursery so we didn't know what to expect but we've been so impressed. All the staff love our little boy. Each member of staff I've dealt with has been professional, friendly and has a good sense of humour. I love that they tell me what he eats as that helps me for inspiration on meals and how healthy the meals are. Would definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your comments are valued and very much appreciated.
They have helped my child come out of her shell and helped her getting ready for school life. The staff are very nice and welcoming. The staff are always happy to help with any concerns I had and try and solve the problem asap.

My daughter has made some incredible bonds with them all and often talks about the staff team at home.
Thank you for providing a safe, stimulating place for my child to grow and develop, knowing she was well looked after and having the best time whilst gaining new skills, gave me peace of mind.
And now she is off on the next adventure they have helped provide her with the skills she will need and I am confident she will flourish because of this!

The care for the children always has their needs and best interests at the forefront of what they do, staff are always very helpful, informative and responsive.
The nursery can’t do enough to support the children from the day to day to the additional enrichment activities that are fit for purpose, interesting and big talking points for the children’s experiences.
Can’t recommend them more.

Both my children attend Nuffy Bear Day Nursery, my daughter (4) started when she was 10-months-old and enjoys every day, leaving with the biggest smiles! My son (1) has settled in really well too. The staff ensure they really get to know the children and families and do everything they can to make the children feel comfortable. Since lockdown rules have eased they have really got back into the swing of things with numerous visitors to enhance the children's education and development, including firemen, dentists and reptiles. The staff are great at giving daily updates and have helped so much with my daughter.
