Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Gloucester

The nursery manager was really welcoming on the phone when I initially called to see if I could look around the nursery. I explained that my son hasn’t been left with anyone and we’ve recently relocated from another city so all the staff we had contact with were very understanding and was more than happy for me to be present when interacting with my son, trying to make him comfortable. A friendly, chatty and loving bunch of people are who I want around my son and it makes me as a parent, much more relieved when I know I can leave him in their care. My son has speech issues that the nursery is working with me on and they are always happy to chat about his progress and learn his characteristics to be able to help him.

We have used this nursery for both children and my youngest will start school in September! Our key worker really knows our child and I am always appreciative of their care. The manager is always welcoming and we love that swimming lessons are included in the preschool. Our little one has truly thrived, is always excited to go and is ready for school, thanks to the staff. I will be sad to no longer see them all but wish the nursery well!

We moved to this nursery in July 2020 due to the previous nursery facing closure due to Covid. It was the best decision we could have made for our son.

With the nursery being part of a huge organisation, funding, equipment and supplies for the children are available in an abundance! The support networks available during Covid to keep the nursery functioning as business as usual even throughout high periods of sickness have been incredible.

The staff are the most amazing asset. Everyone is kind, nurturing, supportive and kind. Nothing is too much trouble. Staff are well looked after by the organisation with good employee perks meaning staff are happy having a positive impact on retention meaning consistency for the little ones.

Management is wonderful and hands-on and I couldn’t be happier with the childcare facilities

Thank you

I would highly recommend Nuffy Beats to anyone. I have 2 children that currently attend and they both absolutely love it. The staff take the time to get to know each child and help them to develop. My daughters have an excellent relationship with their key workers and I know when they are at nursery that they are being so well cared for.

My 18 month old daughter loves going to Nuffy Bear. The staff are so friendly and very supportive of my child’s development. She has a lovely relationship with the nursery team. When I pick her up I’m welcomed with a big, happy smile and I enjoy hearing about all the fun activities and food she has had for that day. Since joining the nursery, we have noticed a growth in her social interaction, motor skills and speech. I would highly recommend.

All staff go above and beyond to care for my child. She is excited to go to nursery and talks about her friends and the staff that care for her constantly. My daughter always comes out with a smile on her face, which reinforces the fact that she’s had a fabulous day. The staff are friendly, caring and always give me a detailed account of her day.

My daughter loves going to nursery. She has made good friends and enjoys the range of food and activities. The staff are so lovely and my daughter has good relationships with all of them. I have no regrets about choosing Nuffy Bear for my daughter and would recommend them to anyone.

Resources and educational activities that are provided for the children are outstanding.

Just such a wonderful, happy environment for him to learn, play and make friends.

My daughter absolutely loves going to Nuffy Bear! She is confident and happy, and I am confident that she is well looked after. The staff really go the extra mile to make my daughter's day special and challenge her ever-growing mind. Nuffy Bear is a lovely nursery.

We are so overwhelmingly grateful to all the staff there who look after our babies with care, compassion and with a smile, despite being in the midst of a pandemic!

I have found the nursery manager to be really helpful and supportive with flexibility in changing days and hours to match my shifts as a nurse. The girls who look after my daughter and always kind and caring and happy to help.

Open the whole of lockdown for key and some essential workers, with excellent covid measures in place.

My review is that Nuffy Bear Gloucester is excellent in all areas; but a ‘good’ for outdoor space, which they are limited to - but have done the best with what they have and I know the children do love to play outside there.

My son's been attending Nuffy Bear Nursery since he was 3-months-old and it’s very clear to see how much he enjoys it. Seeing how he has developed and learned within the nursery is amazing to see. All the staff are fantastic, and my son has a great bond with them all. He is always happy at drop-off and pick-up, and I know that he is having fun from start to finish. He always has a wide variety of foods, which I am always made aware of. The nursery helps with his learning and development even from a young age. He is so confident with people and other children, and Nuffy Bear Nursery is to thank with this. Fantastic place and would highly recommend.

Would highly recommend this nursery.

My little boy loves coming to nursery, he has made some really good friends with the other children and some lovely bonds with all of the staff. They do some great activities which he enjoys, he loves joining in with any messy activities.

Such a friendly and welcoming nursery. All staff go out their way to help the children settle in. I feel I have been supported by all the staff when I felt my child was being difficult. The nursery offers great opportunities for the children to develop and its a great peace of mind knowing my child is having fresh cooked healthy meals.

I chose Nuffy Bear nursery because of how much it values encouraging individuality and a child's ability to discover the world in their own way.

I have been more than impressed with my child's development both socially and practically, the activities that are organised, the feedback provided to myself as a parent and the consistency between my child and their key worker.

There is also an interest in the child's development, lifestyle, routine and activities outside of nursery which encourages a more fluid approach between nursery and home.

My son loves going to nursery. He recently had his birthday and the nursery were very accommodating, allowing me to take in a cake and a few games making it feel like a party to my son. He gets on very well with the other children and the staff as they are all so friendly and professional.
