Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We are so pleased you're happy with the service we provide!
My son started going to Nuffy Nursery a few months ago and he loves it! The settling-in sessions offered were really helpful in getting him familiar with the new environment. I love that I am regularly updated on my son via the app. My son enjoys the range of interactive and educational activities and the staff are all very friendly, and welcoming and keep you well-informed. The staff are doing an amazing job and are definitely active contributors to my son’s development.

My children both love coming to this nursery. The staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for the children. They have both been thriving since coming to Nuffy Bears, I have recommended Nuffy Bears to my sister too so my nephew will also be coming here.

All of my three children have attended Nuffy Bears, and I can honestly say that it is a wonderful place to send your children. They will be known by name, by all staff, regardless of which room the staff are in - your child will be exceptionally cared for and valued for who they are. All staff are excellent, work well together and have a genuine interest in your child's progress, happiness and enjoyment; you can leave your most important person in the world there while you work, and know they will be having an awesome day. The new app is a great way to communicate with staff, see observations of your child's progress, and quickly message the team - making the team's already great parent-nursery communication even easier. The nursery manager and assistant manager are a great team, and really respond to parent suggestions and queries - you honestly couldn't ask for more. My children have moved area, so we've had to move nurseries; whoever receives my children's places will be very lucky children indeed!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so thrilled to have made such a positive impact on your family!
I can’t get over how much she has developed since she started there!

Our son loves going to Nuffy Bear at Bristol North! He’s been going since September 2023 and he’s come on so well. He’s more confident, eating really well and is developing with his speech and language too! He loves the staff and I know that they care deeply for him too. The updates we receive via the app are brilliant and I love knowing how he’s getting on throughout the day. I know I’m leaving my son in a lovely safe environment and am so pleased we chose Nuffy Bear for him.

My son has now been at Nuffy Bears for just over a year, and we have been incredibly impressed. I was hugely nervous about transitioning him from a child-minding setting to a nursery setting as he can be quite quiet and reserved, but the staff have been so supportive and my son has developed really close relationships with lots of the staff. We’ve also been having some behavioural issues recently, and the support from the staff and the management have been brilliant - not only by making sure my son is looked after but by making sure I am ok too! They host regular parents' evenings, but they’ve always been willing to meet at a separate time to talk about process or any issues. They also host parties where parents are encouraged to attend - it’s a really lovely opportunity to see the kids in this environment. And it’s clear when you do that the staff care so much about the children and the children love it too. Highly, highly recommended!

We have had the best experience with Nuffy Bear Nursery. Our son is thriving and has an amazing relationship with his lovely key worker. We're always astonished at the amount he does and learns at nursery and the detailed updates we get from his key worker. He is quite sensitive but the caring team have really helped his confidence grow and he now walks in, smiling and often forgets to say goodbye to my partner at drop-off! We can't recommend this nursery enough!

Nuffy Bears is a fantastic nursery! All the staff give so much care and attention to all the children. We can’t fault the nursery at all and would highly recommend it to everyone. Our daughter is very happy going to nursery and learns so much!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - we are so pleased to read how happy you are with the service we provide!
She attends four days a week/forty hours, has settled in incredibly fast and is developing wonderfully. Every day she will say or do something new.
They have a wide variety of healthy foods each day that I can view on the app, along with nap times, outings, nappy changes and development milestone trackers. What I love is nothing is to much trouble for the staff, they are truly amazing people and I couldn’t fault them or the nursery in any way. They love what they do and are always so welcoming, morning and evening, even after a hard day's work.
There is honestly nothing I would change! Thank you for all the hard work, care and support you provide for the children at Nuffy Bears Bristol.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we are so pleased you’re happy with the service we provide!
My daughter loves going to nursery and appears to learn something new each week. The team are great at providing a caring and safe atmosphere in the baby room. I would recommend Nuffy Bears to others. I particularly like that they can take them out into the community when staffing allows. Recently they went to the library.
Thank you for taking the time to review our setting - we are so pleased you are happy with the service we offer!
My child is happy there, staff are involved in the development and progress. They have different activities which makes it a fun day for my child. Staff has always been responsive to my requests, overall I would highly recommend it.

Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Bristol is fantastic. All the nursery team members are friendly, caring and professional. They are always welcoming at drop off and are proactive in settling children in for the day. The App used to capture activities, meal times and personal development is great. It saves time at pick up and is a lovely record to look back on when time permits! My toddler is super happy there and this is because of the lovely team and the amazing range of activities provided. Many thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased you are happy with the service we offer.
Great communication app where I get updates on my kid's day, when they are asleep, what they eat and how much, toilet trips etc. Lovely activities at this nursery with swimming, yoga, cooking lessons, trips to the park and dance classes.
Thank you for your review - we are so pleased you are happy with the service we provide!
Nuffybear has supported my shy daughter from a baby to now in pre-school and she has really come out of her shell, the staff have been a great support network the last few months, and other staff were amazing whilst she was a baby. The nursery has plenty of learning platforms, swimming, cooking, gym, dance and soft play. The garden outside is great for their imagination. I’m happy with the setting there hence she has been there from a baby to preschool. The nursery seems to be running smoothly. I’ll be sad to see her go in the summer.
Thank you for your feedback - we are really pleased to hear you're so happy with the service we provide.
My little boy has been going to this nursery since he was 8 months old, he is nearly 3 and it is wonderful. The staff are great with him and so friendly. They tell me all about his day and there is an app for all the daily things. I recommend the nursery to all my friends with little ones as it is so good. The manager and deputies are brilliant and my son has a wonderful key worker. Parent's evenings are great to find out more and work out his next steps. I am super pleased he is here!
Thank you for your review - we are so happy you are pleased with the service we provide!
My little boy has been going here since he was 4 and a half months old, he adores every single staff member, is always so happy throughout the day and is so well looked after. He has come on so well at nursery and adores the other children as well. The staff communicate so well with you on your child’s needs and are always willing to help and provide advice. The areas are always clean and tidy, the children go outside every day (where they can!). They use the Famly app and it’s great for touching base and seeing how your little one is doing throughout the day, they post lovely updates during the day so you can see what they are up to!
Thank you for your review - we are so pleased you are happy with the service we provide!
We are very pleased with our experience at Nuffy Bears. Very engaging and friendly staff, and a shoutout to the manager, who is supportive of our requests and has excellent communication. Thank you for all your time spent with us. I would absolutely recommend it.
Thank you for taking the time to review us - we are so pleased you are happy with the service we provide. Thank you for your feedback.
My son has been here for almost three years and he has loved every minute! The team genuinely care and he has blossomed in this time. He is very confident and always has a good time with his friends. The team make time to have a chat at pick-up time so we know how his day has been.
Thank you for your review - we are thrilled that you are so pleased with the service we offer!
Both our kids absolutely love it here! The staff are very supportive and friendly, and the communication at the end of the day is excellent. The swimming lessons for 3 year olds + are also an excellent perk! Only issue we've had has been with the finance system, so looking forward to the new finance system starting next month.

Meet the Team (23)
Hi,
I'm Faye, the Nursery Manager at Nuffy Day Nursery.
I have worked in the Early Years sector for over 10 years, since graduating University. I have worked in a variety of Early Years settings, and as a Nanny.
I have also recently completed my Early Years Teacher Status Qualification!
My heart really lies in Early Years - I love watching the children flourish and develop and as the Manager of a team, I love supporting the team to offer the best possible care to the children we look after.
I really enjoy helping children to achieve their goals and milestones, and seeing their personalities develop!
I also feel that there is such a lack of male professionals in Early Years roles, and I strive to be an example of why more men should work in the sector!
I have worked with young children for a number of years - I started my career in the Early Years sector as a private nanny, and then moved to working in nursery settings for 8 years, taking on both Room Leader and Deputy Manager roles, before starting my own family.
I enjoy working with children as part of a team. I love to see the children grow and develop & I like to be busy and always enjoy a new challenge!
I have 5 years of experience in early years, ranging from the baby room to preschool. I completed my level 2 and level 3 early years qualification through an apprenticeship. I love being a role in the children's development and enjoy every child's unique personality. I always want the best for the children in my care and will adapt my approach based on each individual child's needs and ways of learning. I am caring, empathetic and form strong bonds with the children. I am paediatric first aid trained too.
I am Sara, an Early Years Practitioner at Nuffy Nursery.
I started working here in October 2021 and have recently completed my Level 2 Early Years Qualification.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and reading.
I have worked at Nuffy Day Nursery for a number of years after starting my career in the creche.
I enjoy working with children because I like building relationships with the children and their families.
One day, I would like to use my qualification to travel, and learn about Early Years Education around the world!
Hi, my name is Natasha and I have worked with children for over 5 years. 3 years of that time was in a Special Educational Needs school.
As I have experience of working with children with additional needs, I love to make a positive impact in supporting children with their individual needs.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter, socialising with friends and going for walks.
I've worked with children for about 11 years. Within that time, I have worked as a Baby Room Leader and worked in a Toddler room for the majority of my career, stepping up to the Room Leader role for 3 years. I hold a level 3 qualification. I enjoy lots of messy play activities and like to utilise my creative skills within the nursery by creating story sacks and other fun activities!
Hi, my name is Mai.
I've always been keen to work with children and after having my son, I went to work in a nursery for a while whilst he was in the Preschool Room. Most of my experience has been in the Baby Room, but I've also worked with older children too!
I love watching the children grow and develop and now, after having my daughter, I have come to work at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery!
My spare time is mainly focused on my children; we love going on adventures and days out!
Hi! My name is Leah, and I've worked in the Early Years Sector for over 5 years. I have also completed my Foundation Degree in Early Childhood.
Being able to build positive relationships with the children and support their growth and learning in a way that they enjoy is one of the many reasons I enjoy coming to work!
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and watch my favourite movies!
I have worked with children for almost 3 years, and I find it very enjoyable as I'm not only helping to shape and support their early development, but I also learn so much from the children every day and have fun being curious and supporting them to take calculated risks. I admire their never-ending energy and enthusiasm for everything!
In my spare time I enjoy being sociable and spending time with family and friends. Watching a film and going out for food are some of my favourite things to do!
I’ve been working with children since 2020 and have experience caring for children from 0 to 7 years. During this time, I have worked in nurseries and pre-schools, as well as nannying and childminding, and completed my Early Years Qualification. I enjoy carrying out crafty activities and experiments with resources that engage, fascinate and challenge children. I understand the importance of developing a good relationship with parents and providing a safe space for children.
Hi, I'm Jodie.
I am Level 3 qualified, and I have over 10 years of experience working with children in both Preschool and Primary School settings. Throughout this time, I have also supported children with a variety of Special Educational Needs.
In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and friends. I have 2 children and lots of pets, so I'm always busy! I love music, films, going to the gym and a bit of dance fitness.
Most of all, I like to laugh and have fun!
I really enjoy working in a nursery with children because every day is different and full of new experiences. Each child has their own unique personality, which makes the job so rewarding. It’s lovely being a part of their growth and development, and it also feels good to work alongside the nursery team.
In my spare time, I enjoy going on holidays, shopping, spending time with loved ones, colouring, reading, and cooking or baking.
I have worked in the Early Years Sector for over 25 years!
I enjoy helping the children to develop, and supporting their imaginative play and story-telling. I also enjoy learning more about developments in Early Years by attending a variety of training courses to keep my knowledge up to date and provide me with fresh ideas on how best to support the children I look after!
Outside of work, I enjoy visiting National Trust properties as I have a keen interest in history!
Hi, I'm Vera and I am Level 3 qualified.
I was born in Lisbon, and my favourite place to be is at the beach!
My journey in Early Years began over ten years ago in London. I always enjoyed observing children's creativity and curiosity about the world around them. Through play, positive interactions, safe environments, communication and language, we can help every child to reach their full potential during their formative years.
I love that children live to the motto 'It's all about play!' everything else comes second!
I am Ray, the Nursery Chef.
I have worked at Nuffy Day Nursery for over 3 years.
I have a passion for nutrition and healthy eating!
I love working at Nuffy Day Nursery because the staff have a close family bond and are always putting the children's needs first!

Hello! I'm Kelsey, the joint room lead in preschool. I've been in childcare for nearly eight years, and I absolutely love the variety each day brings! It’s so rewarding to be a part of shaping young minds and getting to be a part of their lives.
Hi,
I really enjoy this age group, as you can have such lovely conversations with the children, and their imaginations come out with the best ideas!
Hi,
I'm Shonagh. I've recently started my career in Early Years at Nuffy Nursery and am really enjoying it! I'm based in the Baby Room at the moment and have started my Level 3 Early Years Practitioner apprenticeship - it's so interesting to learn about how children develop and see this in practice in the nursery!
