Review from E Z (Mother of Child) published on 12 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We, and more importantly, our baby love this nursery. They opened not long before we were planning to start at a nursery with no intention to look elsewhere. However, upon advice we decided to check it out. Things that we immediately liked about Mother Bear:
- a neutral setting which still uses colour
(kids need colours) but not in an overwhelming way;
- clearly defined zones full of engaging and educational toys, books and activities;
- experienced and confident staff who immediately gave us a sense of calm and trust;
- a sense of flexibility they gave us happy to accommodate our baby's routine and preferences;
- how clean it was (and I am quite particular about that)!
Our girl settled in super easily (and she doesn't take to everyone) and we can see that she's having a great time with her new friends and teachers and acquiring new skills all the time. It is clear that the environment is educational, full of exploration, as well as fun, loving and supportive. 100% recommend!
Reply from Aysha, Manager at Mother Bear Nursery & Pre-school## is so loved by the team and fellow children. We thank you for entrusting us to be part of her continued growth and development. :)

Review from C M (Mother of Child) published on 22 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child absolutely loves this nursery. It's such a caring and nurturing environment where the staff truly go above and beyond. There are always a variety of engaging activities planned, and I'm really impressed with how much learning is built into everything they do.


They take the children to the

park regularly, which is such a lovely touch - not just for play, but for nature walks and extra learning outdoors. It's clear they really value exploration and letting the children learn through real experiences.


The meals are all vegetarian-based and genuinely healthy, with a great variety offered each week. I really appreciate the focus on nutritious food and how they introduce the children to different flavours.


I also love receiving updates via the app. It's so helpful seeing what meals he's had throughout the day (and at what time), as well as the photos of all the activities he's been involved in. The app even has a direct messaging feature, which makes communication easy.

Reply from Aysha, Manager at Mother Bear Nursery & Pre-schoolThank you for your lovely feedback. It is a pleasure to have ## attend our setting, bringing such joy and sunshine everyday!

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.315)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.315) out of 10 for Mother Bear Nursery & Pre-school 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 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 4.957 for Mother Bear Nursery & Pre-school is calculated as follows: ( (22 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 4.957
  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 3.358 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mother Bear Nursery & Pre-school is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 43 number of registered child places is 8.6. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.233
  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.
