Review from Patsy C (Grandmother of Child) published on 4 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All Excellent - My grandson really looks forward to coming to Nursery - He gets so excited when I pull up and park in Mother and baby parking and he sees the big yellow bear smiling at him. He squeals with delight. When I buzz to be allowed into the actual Nursery he almost jumps out of my hands to
get going :) I know he is in safe hands and a very safe environment. My grandson is just starting to stand up on his own and I realise that mixing with other children of a similar age that he is encouraged by being part of a lovely group. I sometimes notice the older children in the adjoining room being cared for by knowledgeable staff with lots of smiles and laughter. I can truly say my grandson enjoys and is cared for 100%.


I do not feel guilty about leaving my grandson as he loves going to nursery - it is an asset :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot begin to explain what a lovely, wholesome and welcoming environment Nuffy Bears is. The staff (managers especially) have gone above and beyond for both my children and as a family we feel they know our children so well. Both my son and daughter love attending nursery and leave every day there
very happy. They do lots of lovely activities with them (including swimming!) and always give us lots of information on what they’ve been doing throughout the day. All the staff are so approachable and genuinely lovely people. I couldn’t have found a better nursery for my children to attend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot fault this fantastic nursery. My eldest child attended an Ofsted rated outstanding nursery so my expectations of a nursery for my 2-year-old son were very high. Nuffy does not disappoint. The managers amongst other amazing staff are great at their job. I have just received a fully comprehensive
report on the progress my son has made and without a doubt, he wouldn't be at the higher levels without Nuffy Bears' exceptional care and attention. The site is immaculately clean and with lots of lovely toys. My son runs to the door every time which is proof in the pudding that he loves it as much as me.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our son has attended this nursery since we moved house four months ago. We (and he) really love it - the staff are very caring and friendly, and it has a really homely feel. The environment is well-equipped, bright and new and it has really nice outdoor space. There is lots of (good) food, and he does
lots of different activities during the day, with lots of emphasis on outdoor play and being active. The staff are great at filling us in on his day, what he's been doing, new words or sounds, what he has enjoyed etc. It is really clear to us when we see him playing that he is very happy, stimulated and comfortable there and this is a credit to the efforts of the staff.

My son couldn't be happier at any other nursery. The staff are amazing and the range of activities my son does is vast. Moving him to Nuffy Bear was the best decision I made definitely.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.831)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.831) out of 10 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Bristol is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.956 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Bristol is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.956
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Bristol is based on 15 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 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 15 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.
