My son has been attending Nuffy Bear since 8 months old (now 19 months). He loves going three days a week and runs into nursery as soon as the gates open and he sees his key worker. He was ill a lot in his first 6 months there and I'm not sure if this is normal for nursery as my older child went to a childminder. They seem to have extremely strict illness guidelines that I wasnt used to, and I understand why but it's very frustrating as a parent. I did consider moving him because of this but glad I kept him there now as he's really happy and all the staff are lovely. They managed his transition to the toddler room really well and overall I'm very happy.

Our daughter has been at Nuffy Bear Nursery since she was a few months old. She has always enjoyed going to in as the staff are child-centred and seek to provide enriching activities throughout every day. Our daughter has been able to grow in a caring and supportive environment. The team are always welcoming and the app gives us factual details about toileting, sleep and food intake which is helpful. The menu is varied, nutritious and healthy. Throughout the year there are opportunities for parents to attend theme days at the nursery, which is a lovely way to see our child interacting with the adults who care for her. Highly recommend this nursery.

Nuffy Bear Nursery has provided a safe, engaging and fun environment for my little one. From building positive relationships to continual learning and development, my little one has thrived here. The team are so lovely with a kind and friendly approach to the children and their grown ups. The nursery always keep me informed of my little one's day and I feel confident in the care he is receiving. Thank you to everyone at Nuffy Bear Nursery.

We couldn't ask for a better nursery for our two children. Since transferring from a different setting, they have come on leaps and bounds! The team is fantastic, caring, dedicated, and truly amazing with the children. Both of our little ones absolutely love the staff and get so excited to go on days they are in.

The staff and management at this nursery are fab. Communication is great, and they took time to sit with me and learn about my boys before they started. The facilities are great, the food is healthy and varied. My children come home happy and I couldn't ask for any more. The activities provided are diverse and challenge my children in a safe and nurturing environment. Very happy, and would definitely recommend it.

My daughter has been attending Nuffy Bear Nursery since September last year. Every member of staff made us feel very welcome and my daughter loves being there. Communication between the staff and parents is second to none. Management and the other staff members are always keeping you updated with the latest information and how well your child is getting on while being there. The variety of activities throughout each day are well thought through and I couldn't be more appreciative of all the staff that make the effort to meet all of my child's needs. I feel my daughter's welfare and safety is paramount to all staff and as a parent, I couldn't ask for much more from a nursery setting.

Leaving my little one is definitely something I felt under-prepared for. Right from even the tour I was so reassured and all my worries were listened to. The Nursery Manager and Deputy manager understood that my baby is the most important person in the world to me! My daughter's key person has been so friendly. Three practitioners in particular all treat my daughter like their own which is just what I need as a mummy going back to work!

Deciding to take our daughter to Nuffy Bear Nursery Gloucester was the best decision we could have made! Although anxious at first as to how she would react/cope without us, and being in an unfamiliar environment, we were quickly put at ease with the friendly, caring faces of the staff and it didn't take long before the tears at drop off and pick up were a distant memory. Nuffy Bear Nursery have allowed our daughter to grow and develop in the most wonderful way, and it's a joy to watch her personality and confidence blossom, as she makes more friends and learns skills she wouldn't necessarily get if she was just at home with us.

We moved our daughter here from another setting and she has flourished in this new environment. She's grown so much in confidence and it's been lovely to see. The staff have been brilliant with helping her settle in and bringing her out of her shell - it feels like they've taken the time to get to know her and her needs. As a parent, I am comfortable asking any questions I need to and trust I'll get any help that's needed.

Our son loves attending Nuffy Bears, and has done from the age of nine months. The staff all love the children and they are always excited to see them! We really like the daily updates and photos and can see his progress.

My daughter attends Nuffy Bear and has done for almost 2 years. She is incredibly shy and hadn't left me before so nursery was a huge adjustment for her. The staff were and are still incredible with her and as a result she is more and more comfortable there. I love the menu they offer and the care and attention they give to each child's individual needs. They have taken the time to get to know my other children too and it's really supportive for us all. I would recommend them completely for families wanting a nursery to partner their child's development.

Our daughter started at Nuffy Bear just after her 1st birthday and she settled in so quickly because of the brilliant staff and facilities. Now in the toddler room, she goes into nursery very happily and enjoys playing with her friends and taking part in the engaging activities both indoors and outdoors. We particularly really like the parent communication app where staff always make an effort to post pictures of what she's been up to during the day, as well as what she's eaten and any sleep times. She is our chatty, funny little girl and the nursery has really helped to develop her confidence with peers. We really would recommend Nuffy Bear to prospective families.

This nursery deserves more than 5 stars! Our daughter has been attending Nuffy Bear Nursery for almost a year and we are so happy we chose this nursery. All of the staff are so lovely and our daughter's key worker has taken the time to really get to know her, they have a great bond! The setting itself is stimulating, clean and safe and we immediately felt comfortable leaving our baby girl here, knowing she's in safe hands. We get updates throughout the day via the app, letting us know what she's been up to and the food they provide is great. I really couldn't recommend this nursery enough!

Our daughter was the youngest baby they had starting nursery at that time, we were very worried parents and wanted to make sure she was ok and they all knew what she needed. Honestly all the staff couldn't do enough for us, especially two members of staff in particular, our daughter has a bond with them after only a few months and gets so excited. We have zero worries when our daughter is in Nuffy Bear Nursery! They have great security at the building and then again at the nursery entrance. They have a healthy balanced diet and a chef dedicated to their needs, the care and time they put into building skills is great and the activities they do, and everything is logged on the app. I would recommend to anyone, and I'm so glad we have them.

My daughter has started her journey at the nursery in May 2024. As a new parent I know how difficult and hard it could be to leave your child at the setting where she doesn't know the area or people. Is all new for the baby as well as the parent! For me I was very anxious about it but honestly, looking back now, it was the best decision we have ever made! After a couple of settling-in sessions I knew she was in good hands - the staff are amazing, they support you as a parent all the way! With regular updates and feedback I can rest assured my child is safe and happy. I'm relieved she has plenty of play time and she learns a lot every day. Also her food palette improved as at home she was a fussy eater. Since going to nursery she definitely eats more and tries new things! I can't thank the staff enough for looking after her and making me feel comfortable when I leave her at the setting. Guys you are doing an amazing job and carry on good work!

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough! The staff are very friendly and incredibly caring. The facilities are clean, safe, and stimulating, providing a fantastic environment for learning and play. I am very grateful for the positive impact the nursery has had on my son's development.

All the staff at Nuffy Bears make sending my daughter to nursery a much more comfortable experience. Everyone is friendly and willing to listen and address anything we want to discuss regarding my daughter’s care and learning. My daughter started quite shy and the staff reassured me and have watched and encouraged her to become more confident every day.

Nuffield Nursery have been so amazing and accommodating since my son started. I dreaded leaving him and returning to work, but the staff here are fantastic. I get regular updates and photos of him playing throughout the day. If I feel anxious or worried about him, all I have to do is message on the app and I get a reply in minutes. They have been extremely accommodating to his routine, ensuring they stick to his normal routine. I have had lots of updates on his milestone targets and what they are aiming for next, which as a first-time mum I love because I always stress about him hitting his milestones. He seems to love the food! He eats more at nursery than he does at home! The meals are always different and nutritional. Overall, my son is thriving at Nuffy Bear Nursery. He is happy, hitting milestones, eating good and sticking to his normal routine. Returning to work and leaving him was so daunting and scary, but the amazing staff here made it so much easier by being so supportive.

Lovely nursery. Kind and caring staff. My little boy and girl love going. Staff always update me on the online system and are always sharing photos of what they have been up to. Would definitely recommend.

I would recommend Nuffy Bear to anyone. My son has been going here for 2.5 years and absolutely loves it. The staff are so caring and get to know parents and children on a personal level and keep us well informed on our son's progress throughout the year via an app, conversations at pick up and parents evenings. They do plenty of activities above the day to day learning, such as going to soft play, going out for walks to collect leaves and they regularly have visitors attend like firefighters and dentists etc. as well as having parties (which parents can usually attend) for special occasions. The staff are very approachable and friendly and are always on hand to answer any questions and queries that I may have. My son also loves the variety of meals offered and the nursery are brilliant at catering for his allergy and making sure that he has never been left out because of it. We love it here and feel like part of the Nuffy Bear family, I'm so glad this is the nursery that we chose.
