Both my children have attended this nursey my daughter is in her last few months there. We have always absolutely loved this place. We have always been kept in the loop regarding our children and if we have needed it we have always had amazing support from them all. Both my children love it here and
my daughter still loves going after 3 years of being there she still get excited when I tell her it mama bears day. They have helped support my children with additional help towards their speech I can't fault them.

We came to Muma Bears after a bad experience with another nursery, and we have not looked back since. Muma Bears have been nothing but amazing, everyone is so welcoming which is what you would want when trusting a service with your little ones. From development learning activities, to just having a
comforting cuddle, Muma Bears are the nursery for you! Me and partner love our little one being at Muma Bears and most importantly our little one loves going!

Both my children have attended Mama Bears Springhill Green. One is still there and the staff are just amazing. So friendly and they all just have the best interests of the children. We are always kept up to date with events, staff changes and menu changes and the parent zone app is used regularly
for us to see photos etc...
Management is great, you can tell the staff are happy and it shows in my daughter running in happy everytime she goes. Wouldn't recommend anywhere else.

We absolutely adore Mama Bears! Little one has been attending since 10 months old and she is absolutely thriving because of the wonderful team. Right from the start the communication has been brilliant, as a family we have felt so welcomed here and we just knew and still know that we made the right
choice. We love how much the team try and get the kids outdoors, arrange lots of different activites, and of course the art work we receive is precious! The choice of meals is great too and we appreciate how its often changed up! We are updated regularly, and supported always! Its amazing how much our girl has developed and become such a funny, clever and loving character and honestly we cannot thank the nursery enough. From the baby room to the bouncy room, and for all the rooms to come, we couldn't be happier!
21 January 2026
My daughter has been attending here since April 2025 and since then I have never had an bad word to say about the nursery. The baby room girls are amazing and I feel like they look after my daughter with so much care and always makes sure she is happy. All the staff are polite and friendly and
welcoming.
16 January 2026
My daughter started in September and has taken time to settle in and all the staff in the baby room have been very kind and supportive of her. The nursery is always clean and tidy and well maintained, with cheerful and welcoming staff. They are always keen to share what she has done that day and
celebrate any achievements no matter how small.
Amazing nursery.
16 January 2026
I have been using the nursery for my boys for over 9 years now. All of them have gone in with ease looking forward to their day ahead. The staff have been amazing throughout and all of the children have developed lovely connections with staff and other children at the nursery! My eldest two have
left now and still talk about their memories at nursery. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursery to anyone!
15 January 2026
My daughter is in the baby room and started at 9 months old and honestly its been fantastic. She took to everyone straight away and does so many activites and fun things, she comes home happy and tired! The main thing is I can tell all the staff really truly care about her, and thats the most
important thing to me. She eats well there too! The manager even greet everyone every morning its a lovely place to be. Thank you Mama Bears!

Our daughter is absolutely thriving at Mama Bears Springhill Green. Our daughter's key worker, Charley, and SENCO, Sarah, have been absolutely incredible with supporting our daughter and us as her parents through different referrals that have been needed to support our daughter. The food on offer at
nursery is brilliant and such a wide variety of different food groups. Our daughter loves going to nursery, especially playing out in the large garden they have. Our daughter's day is filled with so many different activities, incorporating different religious holidays which is brilliant for learning. Overall, we are so happy that we chose Mama Bears for our daughter's nursery, every member of staff at the nursery are amazing and I could never thank them enough for everything.

Since our little boy started in November we have had nothing but great encounters everyone who works at the nursery. We are always informed of how he has been, when he has slept and what he has eaten. He always has a big smile on his face in pictures and when I pick him up. It seems he does a lot of
different activities and is kept very busy.
The staff are always super helpful if I have any updates for our son or any queries.
15 January 2026
Since my child has attended the nursery all the staff have always been good to keep me in the loop with his day on collection and have been sure to call/contact me in the moment if they happen to have any concerns.
I get regular picture and general updates on the app on a day to day basis and
reports etc are uploaded regularly.
I am very happy with the variation of meals offered to my child and even if he does not eat much of it the staff will always make sure something else is offered so he doesn't go hungry.
When I have needed to temporarily move/change/cancel sessions my child would usually attend, every effort has been made by the team to accommodate this where they can even on the odd occasion when I was unable to give the standard 4 weeks notice they require, and nothing has ever been too much trouble for them.
Admin have also been very helpful when I have had queries with payment for fees etc.

My son has been attending the setting for over 6months now. We felt instantly at ease with the practitioners and the lovely setting. Our child had some difficulty with his speech; however since attending Mama Bear's he has thrived and is making great progress. The support of the staff and management
has been wonderful and we are so pleased with our child's development.
12 January 2026
Really good team at the nursery. Our son loves his time there and is developing really well due to the care given by the mama bears team. Everybody in the setting is very positive and kind, Especially the girls the the front desk.

My daughter has attended SG since she was 9 months old, and there hasn't been a day that she's not wanted to go to nursery! The staff treat her with such care and are always warm, welcoming and adaptable to how she's feeling that day. She's built really strong bonds with staff - from her room team,
the SENCO, management, cooks and admins!
The communication is brilliant, we get told what she's eaten, how much she's eaten and when. When she has slept, how long for and what time and also get to see lots of photos of her activities.
The nursery is clean, warm and lots of different activities on offer to support her development.
Special shout out to the SENCO, who has supported our child so closely with her additional needs, and the team have adapted and learned her routine and way in which she communicates to ensure she has the best experience.
We love SG Mama Bears and would recommend it to anyone.

Both of my boys attended this nursery, and I couldn't be happier with the experience they had. From day one, the staff at every level were absolutely amazing - caring, supportive, and genuinely dedicated to each child's development. There was always a wonderful variety of activities and learning
opportunities that kept the boys engaged, curious, and excited to go in every day. The nursery played such a big role in shaping who they are today - confident, kind, and ready to take on new challenges. The team helped make their transition to school completely seamless, and for that I'll always be grateful. I can't recommend this nursery enough for any parent looking for a nurturing, stimulating, and joyful start to their child's learning journey.
17 October 2025
This nursery is absolutely incredible. Every single person is always so friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond. The change even weekly I see in my daughter is brilliant. It's so nice to have the peace of mind that she's being taken care of and having the best time

Amazing nursery, I was very worried about sending my little boy to nursery and had viewed several ones and mamabears was by far the one I felt most safe and comfortable to send him too it's not the closest to me but I'd rather drive the extra to send my son to a better nursery then just one that's
close, I call them up anytime to check on my little one and they're amazing and if there are ever any problems they sort it right away and they're amazing are very good with safeguarding the nursery is based in a street out the way which I prefer as some are right on main roads. My little one is very shy and sensitive and has settled in so well and has very close relationships with the staff, genuinely couldn't recommend a better nursery and I will send my future children to this nursery also.

An absolute gem of a nursery! Amazing staff, the same staff were there for my son 7 years ago and now my daughter can’t fault it. Fresh food on site and and framework followed for key stages. Big outdoor space flexible booking and lots of activities arranged each day I wouldn't send my kids anywhere
else.

Mama Bear's is such a great nursery. Both my boys have attended and they have always been happy to go in and love all the staff that work there.
My oldest son is in school and still has to go in to see his preschool teachers and give them a hug every time.
All the staff are friendly and cheerful
with the kids and do a range of activities every day which are fun and engaging.
My son loves his abc’s, singing the song and recognising the letters everywhere. The staff in his room have really honed in on this and encouraged him and he is learning so much.
The ladies in reception are always so friendly and helpful with any queries.
The food must be better than mine as he eats more at nursery than at home!
We have been through some health issues with our son in the last 12 months and the nursery couldn’t have been more accommodating, even getting a community nurse in to talk to the staff and teach them about administering his medicine.
13 March 2024
Mama Bears at Springhill is a fantastic setting that provides excellent provision for the children. All practitioners are friendly, caring and supportive. Have recommended this nursery to all family and friends.
