Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Speedwell)

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.

We absolutely love Mama Bears. A wonderful nursery with incredibly caring and loving staff. My daughter loves going there and has developed so beautifully since starting. We couldn't be happier and are so grateful for everything they do. they are doing an amazing job-an amazing team!

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.

Brilliant nursery. My daughter wakes up eager to get there and is so happy when I collect her. They do a range of activities with her which she loves and the staff are lovely. Nicola the manager is very approachable and runs the nursery very well.

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.

Nothing is too much trouble and manager will always reply quickly to any queries.

Our child has enjoyed her time here and the staff have been fantastic at keeping her safe, and happy. I have been impressed with some of the things she has learnt and appreciate the lovely outdoors space that's available for her here.

My children have a wonderful time here and look forward to nursery days. The staff are kind, encouraging and enthusiastic and we are often updated with pictures of the activities the children do. I would recommend this nursery.

Thank you!

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.

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 love this place!

We will be sad to leave this summer but our daughter is off to school!

I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a reliable, caring, and stimulating pre-school experience for their little ones.

My son has been going to Whiteway Road for almost 3 years and loves it there. The staff are really caring, know him well and look after him as if they were family members. My son is so happy there that he started to complain about being home with me on Friday. He preferred being there. That meant a lot, and allowed me to go back to work full time. We will all be sad when we will have to leave for school at the end of the year.

The nursery has in my opinion too many children with not enough members of staff. Staff seem stressed when answering the door and sounds crowded upon drop-off /pick-up. My child seems happy enough but activities do not seem to have a big range of imagination.

Our experience with Mama Bears has been overwhelmingly positive. The staff are friendly and kind. The children appear to do a wide range of activities, linking to a wide range of cultures and backgrounds and I love the monthly themes the kids have to focus on. I really like the parent zone app used to update parents on how the child is progressing throughout the day. So nice to have and allows me to build on, at home, what my child has learnt through the day. The children have a good outdoor space to play around in but nice that they go outside of the nursery occasionally. I was so anxious my child wouldn’t settle in as he does like to be next to me at all times. I really value the way the Mama Bears staff settled my son into the setting, providing that emotional support which meant he was able to quickly adapt to the new surroundings in a matter of weeks!

My child’s recent move up from the baby room to the bouncy bears room was seamless. Her key workers helped her make that transition and change of routine with ease. She loves coming to nursery and seeing her nursery friends every day. There always seems to be a variety of activities for her to engage in. We love that they celebrate numerous holidays and my daughter is able to experience and learn about many different cultures. The staff keeps their in house app updated regularly with wonderful pictures which really make my day.

My child has been going to Mama Bears for 2.5 years now and all the staff during this time have been absolutely amazing. I genuinely have no faults at all, my child is a challenging one and they have done everything they can to accommodate his needs. My child loves going to nursery and seeing all the staff and other children, the staff go above and beyond and I’m so grateful for them all. Without them, I’d be lost as they have helped us massively with everything. Thank you Mama Bears.
