September 18, 2020 at 12:00 amA very inclusive and welcoming nursery.
They really care about the children and their development.
Open the whole of lockdown for key and some essential workers, with excellent covid measures in place.

October 6, 2020 at 12:00 amI have found the nursery manager to be really helpful and supportive with flexibility in changing days and hours to match my shifts as a nurse. The girls who look after my daughter and always kind and caring and happy to help.

February 16, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter absolutely loves going to Nuffy Bear! She is confident and happy, and I am confident that she is well looked after. The staff really go the extra mile to make my daughter’s day special and challenge her ever-growing mind. Nuffy Bear is a lovely nursery.

February 16, 2021 at 12:00 amBoth my son and daughter attend Nuffy Bears, they love it. They have come on leaps and bounds. They talk about their days regularly and always come out happy.
Both myself and my partner are key workers and were so glad to have had the support of Nuffy’s!
– Due to the area in which I work we were given free childcare during the first lockdown, which helped us immeasurably.
We are so overwhelmingly grateful to all the staff there who look after our babies with care, compassion and with a smile, despite being in the midst of a pandemic!

June 24, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son absolutely loves going to this nursery.
He always has such wonderful fun.
The staff are amazing and so caring. They are hugely supportive, not only to the children but to the parents also. They are very understanding and very approachable.
They have helped him grow and develop new skills that he was previously struggling with.
I love it when he comes home singing new songs or new words that he has learnt that day.
He always comes home with a big smile on his face.
He really enjoys all the fun play and activities they do, as well as the lovely food they get each day.
Just such a wonderful, happy environment for him to learn, play and make friends.

May 13, 2022 at 12:00 amAll staff go above and beyond to care for my child. She is excited to go to nursery and talks about her friends and the staff that care for her constantly. My daughter always comes out with a smile on her face, which reinforces the fact that she’s had a fabulous day. The staff are friendly, caring and always give me a detailed account of her day.

May 13, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves going to nursery. She has made good friends and enjoys the range of food and activities. The staff are so lovely and my daughter has good relationships with all of them. I have no regrets about choosing Nuffy Bear for my daughter and would recommend them to anyone.

May 16, 2022 at 12:00 amI would highly recommend Nuffy Beats to anyone. I have 2 children that currently attend and they both absolutely love it. The staff take the time to get to know each child and help them to develop. My daughters have an excellent relationship with their key workers and I know when they are at nursery that they are being so well cared for.

May 16, 2022 at 12:00 amMy 18 month old daughter loves going to Nuffy Bear. The staff are so friendly and very supportive of my child’s development. She has a lovely relationship with the nursery team. When I pick her up I’m welcomed with a big, happy smile and I enjoy hearing about all the fun activities and food she has had for that day. Since joining the nursery, we have noticed a growth in her social interaction, motor skills and speech. I would highly recommend.

May 26, 2022 at 12:00 amThe nursery manager was really welcoming on the phone when I initially called to see if I could look around the nursery. I explained that my son hasn’t been left with anyone and we’ve recently relocated from another city so all the staff we had contact with were very understanding and was more than happy for me to be present when interacting with my son, trying to make him comfortable. A friendly, chatty and loving bunch of people are who I want around my son and it makes me as a parent, much more relieved when I know I can leave him in their care. My son has speech issues that the nursery is working with me on and they are always happy to chat about his progress and learn his characteristics to be able to help him.

May 26, 2022 at 12:00 amWe have used this nursery for both children and my youngest will start school in September! Our key worker really knows our child and I am always appreciative of their care. The manager is always welcoming and we love that swimming lessons are included in the preschool. Our little one has truly thrived, is always excited to go and is ready for school, thanks to the staff. I will be sad to no longer see them all but wish the nursery well!

May 26, 2022 at 12:00 amWe moved to this nursery in July 2020 due to the previous nursery facing closure due to Covid. It was the best decision we could have made for our son.
With the nursery being part of a huge organisation, funding, equipment and supplies for the children are available in an abundance! The support networks available during Covid to keep the nursery functioning as business as usual even throughout high periods of sickness have been incredible.
The staff are the most amazing asset. Everyone is kind, nurturing, supportive and kind. Nothing is too much trouble. Staff are well looked after by the organisation with good employee perks meaning staff are happy having a positive impact on retention meaning consistency for the little ones.
Management is wonderful and hands-on and I couldn’t be happier with the childcare facilities
Thank you

May 28, 2022 at 12:00 amBoth my children attend Nuffy Bear Day Nursery, my daughter (4) started when she was 10-months-old and enjoys every day, leaving with the biggest smiles! My son (1) has settled in really well too. The staff ensure they really get to know the children and families and do everything they can to make the children feel comfortable. Since lockdown rules have eased they have really got back into the swing of things with numerous visitors to enhance the children’s education and development, including firemen, dentists and reptiles. The staff are great at giving daily updates and have helped so much with my daughter.

May 31, 2022 at 12:00 amMy daughter loves attending the nursery – she even asks me if she can go more.
The care for the children always has their needs and best interests at the forefront of what they do, staff are always very helpful, informative and responsive.
The nursery can’t do enough to support the children from the day to day to the additional enrichment activities that are fit for purpose, interesting and big talking points for the children’s experiences.
Can’t recommend them more.

September 16, 2022 at 12:00 amThe quality of care the Manager and the staff team have provided has been second to none, I know she will miss them all as will I.
My daughter has made some incredible bonds with them all and often talks about the staff team at home.
Thank you for providing a safe, stimulating place for my child to grow and develop, knowing she was well looked after and having the best time whilst gaining new skills, gave me peace of mind.
And now she is off on the next adventure they have helped provide her with the skills she will need and I am confident she will flourish because of this!

June 7, 2023 at 12:00 amThey have helped my child come out of her shell and helped her getting ready for school life. The staff are very nice and welcoming. The staff are always happy to help with any concerns I had and try and solve the problem asap.

June 29, 2023 at 12:00 amFrom the moment my partner and I looked around we had a good vibe, that vibe has continued. This is our first experience of a nursery so we didn’t know what to expect but we’ve been so impressed. All the staff love our little boy. Each member of staff I’ve dealt with has been professional, friendly and has a good sense of humour. I love that they tell me what he eats as that helps me for inspiration on meals and how healthy the meals are. Would definitely recommend it.

July 12, 2023 at 12:00 amMy oldest has been in nursery for over two years, my youngest started a few months ago and they both really enjoy it. The staff are very friendly and engaging and it’s obvious that the kids think so too. I’m kept well informed about their learning, activities that they do and upcoming events. Really enjoying following their progress on the new app. Overall very happy that I chose this nursery and would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

July 23, 2023 at 12:00 amWe arrived at this nursery after a very poor experience at a different (and outstanding rated) establishment, in which children were pretty much abandoned outside all day (and in any weather) on the excuse of ‘letting them enjoy nature’ or whatever, and in which a culture of back-covering, as opposed to proportionate response, was rife. Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Gloucester could not have been more different. For starters, our children’s health benefited a lot – infections became fewer and further apart, and nappy rashes became exception rather than norm. The children’s psychological well-being also improved markedly; they started to visibly enjoy going to nursery, rather than cling to our legs on drop-off and leave in tears in the afternoon. Staff are welcoming and helpful at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Gloucester, and genuinely focused on children well-being. Staff turnover is also very well managed, as changes in key person have never been overly problematic. Fellow parents, be assured: this place is great.
