She has built fantastic relationships with her key person and the staff in both her current preschool room and the previous rooms she attended. Everyone is always friendly, caring, and supportive. The team genuinely takes the time to get to know each child as an individual and creates a warm, nurturing atmosphere.
I am so grateful for the care and encouragement she receives every day, and I couldn't be happier with the progress she has made since attending.
Kind Regards

The staff at Mama Bear's Whiteway Road are such a brilliant, friendly and approachable team. They work WITH children and their families. Absolutely love all the celebrations they do too and the effort they put in. There is no other nursery in Bristol that will go to the amount of effort they do for World Book Day etc. The team there are truly kind people who will be honest with you. They all seem to get on as well, which is really nice to see!
Thankyou for your lovely review. Myself and the team really appreciate it

Nicola, the manager,...
Nicola, the manager, has been wonderful from the very beginning ,thoughtful, supportive, and deeply committed to the wellbeing of the children and families. Every key person our daughter has had has been kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in her development. Thanks to them she has built strong friendships and beautiful memories that will stay with her as she moves on to school. Like many nurseries, Mama Bear's has had periods where staffing has been stretched and they've had to navigate challenges beyond their control. Even during those times, the staff have consistently put the children and families first, going above and beyond to create a nurturing and safe environment. Thank you
Thankyou very much for your lovely review

They provided all the things I required of my child. For a farcy eater and helping with potty training. My child has developed a lot and has achieved a lot of goals. My child has learnt a lot of things at nursery. I would like to say thank you to the manger's and team. Keep up the good work.

Our child has been at the nursery for nearly 3 years and has absolutely loved it. The team and management are very transparent on what's going on in nursery and clearly care a lot for the kids. The large garden and varied activities are great - it's always nice getting photos and updates on what's going on through the parent app! Staff have always spent time answering any questions we have and have helped manage any challenges with our child as they have progressed.

We have been really happy with the care and attention or little one has received since starting at Mama Bears Speedwell. The team are very engaged providing lots of fun activities as well as regular feedback through the app. We are delighted to have such a lovely and accommodating nursery so close. The team are always very communicative and in particular we had none of the run around during registry that we experienced with other nearby nurseries.

The wonderful team at Mama Bear's have made my daughter feel so welcome since she started attending at 1 and is still very much enjoying it at age 4. She's very bonded with the staff who really understand her and who she is. It's been great for her development and I feel totally comfortable and happy for her to go in for the day as I know she's being well cared for. Highly recommended.

Such a wonderful setting. My son is 3 and has absolutely loved it there from day one. All the staff are really friendly and know him very well, and as a result he is more than happy to run in each morning. They have lots of resources and outdoor space, and we get plenty of updates on an app throughout the day, showing him doing lots of educational activities as well as messy play. His language and skills have really improved with their help, and he will be more than ready to start school thanks to all their support. This is truly such a lovely nursery and I'm more than happy to give them a top review.
Thank you for the lovely comment. I will pass this onto the staff team
Our daughter started nursery at Whiteway Road Mama Bears last August 2023 and I can't thank the manager and the team enough for how much she now loves it and walks in without a second glance. She loves nursery and has flourished which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team.

We have only good things to say about the nursery. Mama Bear's, Speedwell, has had to face many hard times, like all education and day care settings, but through it all, they’ve remained both optimistic and fully committed to making sure that our daughter has the best experience while she’s in their care. She’s massively grown in confidence and social skills; developed supportive relationships with staff; and loved every day that she’s gone.
Communication is mostly good, and the staff are always on hand to help with anything you need support with.
We wholeheartedly believe that we couldn’t have sent her to a better place. The focus on outdoor activities and a fun and engaging curriculum to learn from, has all set her up to no doubt be a success when she moves onto primary school.
We love this place!
I will pass this on to the staff team.
