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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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: 9.7 (9.651)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.651) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.651 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School (Whitchurch) is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.651
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School (Whitchurch) is based on 13 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 13 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.
