Review from M B (Father of Child) published on 8 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Great range of activities for kids, and not so big that your child disappears. Opening from 0730 is still very useful. The only downside is the usual finance team and head office admin palaver regarding payment and fees.

I can not recommend Nuffy Bears enough. The setting is great, the staff are lovely and supportive, communication is brilliant between manager and staff, and my son is happy. I wish I found the nursery earlier as it is a wonderful preschool.

Overall Experience
My son has really thrived at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Bristol.
He's stimulated, has loads of friends there and always talks about his teachers and carers as people he has fun with.
The staff are really helpful and I get lots of useful feedback on when his behaviour is good or bad and how to work on it together.

He's going to be sorry to leave (he's going to school soon).

Review from N A (Mother of Child) published on 1 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Nursery staff were helpful in settling my child in the nursery. They enjoy a lot and seems to be thriving well in this nursery environment. It has been a little sad that we can't go in and observe at the moment but hopefully will be able to do so in the future. The staff have been very supportive and caring for the children. I just hope they include more vegetarian options for kids including lentils, veggies and a little less meat substitute. But highly recommend this to all parents!

Review from Rachael F (Mother of Child) published on 15 January 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
This nursery is honestly amazing. My daughter joined during the pandemic, and they really helped her us as parents to settle in.
She has a great relationship with everyone there who knows her by name. Her key worker is so good with her, and she absolutely loves him.
As first-time parents, this was our first experience of a nursery setting, and I could not be happier; they are very accommodating to changes that we have had to make.

If you want your child to be able to be in a safe and happy setting with indoor and outdoor play, then Nuffy Bears is the place to be. My daughter is truly herself, and that is better than anything else.

My two boys have been extremely happy here for the last year. The staff are so friendly and provide a safe, fun and educational environment for the children. We are really sad to be leaving and it is only due to moving house. Thank you to everyone at Nuffy Bears for taking such care of our boys over the last year, we will be very sad to leave.

Review from Deb B (Mother of Child) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

This nursery is so lovely. It’s light and airy with lots of lovely toys and activities to keep the kids entertained and stimulated. The staff are so welcoming and friendly - my daughter, who struggled to settle at another nursery, settled really quickly and now loves spending time there and with her key worker. The food also seems really good and whenever I pick her up after lunch, it looks like something I would happily tuck into! They encourage the kids to be independent which is brilliant and has taught my daughter loads (although hard work for me when she wants to pour her own drink at home!!). Overall, I’m really happy with Nuffy Bears and feel totally confident leaving my daughter there.

Great team at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Bristol. The team have worked so hard to help with settling my loved one into this new nursery. They show a real sense of care and are always so enthusiastic about what activities have been done during the day, which is so comforting as a parent. Genuine and lovely team - thanks.

Review from Patsy C (Grandmother of Child) published on 4 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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 :)

Review from Emma R (Mother of Child) published on 12 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Lucy R (Mother of Child) published on 17 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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

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.

I have worked at Nuffy Nursery for a number of years, and have a Level 3 Early Years qualification.
