  • Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School (Whitchurch), Bristol
This nursery in Whitchurch opened on 19th June 2017 and is part of the Mama Bear’s Day Nursery family.

From September, the setting will be transitioning to a dedicated baby unit for children aged 0–3 years, offering a specialist environment tailored to the needs of the youngest children. The nursery has been thoughtfully adapted to create a calm, nurturing and home-from-home space, with excellent resources designed to support early development, wellbeing and secure attachments.

The outdoor space is a spacious, landscaped garden with free-flow access, allowing babies and toddlers to explore safely and confidently.

Conveniently located just off Bristol Road and directly opposite Whitchurch Primary School, the nursery remains easily accessible for families.

The setting is proud of the experienced childcare practitioners who carefully plan activities to support each child’s individual development and progression. With a strong focus on care, learning and emotional wellbeing, they provide a warm and supportive environment where children can thrive from the very start of their early years journey.

Places are limited, and they are now welcoming enquiries for September.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My son has loved this setting he’s been there since Jan 18 and has evolved massively with the help of the staff and the resources on hand.


The staff are approachable and friendly and keep you up to speed with constant feedback both verbally and through e-log.


The setting is excellent with a brilliant

outside space which they use all year round, they offer a huge range of activities exposing the children to many different learning vehicles from basic letter formation to various messy play stations so that the children get a wide range of different sensory experiences as well.


They welcome parent feedback with a suggestion box and parent feedback questionnaires so are always striving to add new activities and improve if required.


I would recommend anyone send their child here and my youngest can’t wait to start in September.

Our son swapped from a different nursery environment to Mama Bear's Day Nursery a couple of months ago as we were unhappy with the level of care! He has settled better than could ever have been expected and we are sure this is because of the amazing staff that provide such a kind and caring welcome
to all of the children! He has now made lots of friends and his learning and development has really come on in such a short amount of time! I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery and I am grateful to all there!

My son is new to Mama Bear's and has settled more quickly that I could have helped.
He loves the children and staff and is excited telling me about his day.
The staff are amazing and provide a brilliant, fun learning environment and are very hospitable.

Review from Amy G (Mother of Child) published on 23 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since joining Mama Bear's in Whitchurch, my daughter has developed hugely. She loves going and can't wait to go back. She has a new found love of washing her hands and is obsessed with the 'please and thank you' song! This is the first time I have left her in a setting such as this and she has settled
in so well - I have no doubt that this is down to the great staff employed at this setting. The manageress is so friendly and approachable and my daughters key worker is amazing and I feel they have developed a bond already. The children play outside everyday and they are always laughing and smiling. My daughter has a genuinely wonderful time there and I can't thank the team enough for that.

The nursery is an excellent medium for my child. He is always happy here and learns something new every day - words, songs, activities.


Since he has been coming here, he has improved his English very well as we are another nationality. The staff are always very kind and give all the best for the

happiness of our children. Very happy with Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School (Whitchurch) choice and I will definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you for everything!!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.421)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.421) out of 10 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School (Whitchurch) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.771 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School (Whitchurch) is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.771
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School (Whitchurch) is based on 8 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 = 3.65
    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 30 number of registered child places is 6, which has been reached with 8 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.
