Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Hanham

We have been very happy with Mama Bear’s Hanham Hall and have had a very positive experience with both of our children. The staff are very caring and go above and beyond. The communication is great which helps, and staff will always try and have a good conversation with you at pick up to discuss the day. They are a lovely team who genuinely seem to really care about the children they look after. Despite the challenges of the pandemic they have maintained professionalism and continued to do their best for the children.

My daughter started going here when she was 1. She was very well cared for and loved being in the baby room. She settled really quickly at Hanham Hall and has never looked back. The Tweenies room became a firm favourite and it was obvious to see why as the staff in there are absolutely fantastic with the children. They did a great job helping my daughter’s confidence grow. She has now moved into the Bouncies room and comes home singing all the songs she danced to that day! We get regular updates of her counting and development changes. Her key workers were a really great support team for her as a new sibling came along. We have never had any issues and would highly recommend this nursery as a safe and kind place for your child. The staff are all so welcoming and we look forward to our little one starting next month! I’m sure she will love it too.

Our whole experience has been superb from start to end. Our daughter has been in this nursery from nine months old, all the way through to pre-school. She is leaving this week ready for school next week, and she’s loved every minute of it.
All of the staff have been incredible towards her and each have their own special bond, which has been amazing to see. They have been a huge influence in her progression and learning as she moved up the year groups and we’ve enjoyed watching her development as it’s happened.
I couldn’t recommend the nursery highly enough and if we do have a second child, then we wouldn’t hesitate to send them here.

My experience with this childcare provider is continuously positive. I have full confidence in the staff and their ability to provide exceptional care. Whenever, although very rarely, I’ve raised a query or issue, it is remedied quickly and professionally. The staff are respectful of my parental style and adapt this into their practise where possible.

Since enrolment, my child’s development had surged. Throughout the pandemic, the nursery has been a saviour. We had concerns of our child’s development and socialisation but, the staff work to ensure the negative snowball impacts of COVID-19 are minimised. It’s a wonderful place for children to thrive.

My daughter started this nursery approximately 6 weeks ago. She has settled in really well and comes home with a big smile at the end of the day. All the staff I have spoken to are very friendly and take a genuine interest in my daughter and getting to know her. I was very anxious, as most parents are sending their child to nursery for the first time, but my anxieties were soon put to rest after my daughter’s first day. I couldn’t be more happier and pleased with the nursery and look forward to seeing how my daughter grows and develops there over the next couple of years. Thanks everyone!

We cannot praise Mama Bear’s enough! Our little boy has been with them for around 7 months and since then, he’s come on leaps and bounds, he’s developing great social skills and his confidence is through the roof which is no doubt due to the nurturing, wonderful staff who look after him. He’s always smiling as are we knowing how happy and cared for he is. The app keeps us updated throughout the day and we love seeing all the fun he has. Could not recommend more.

My daughter has had a lot of change in the last 18 months and she is struggling with this emotionally. Not only have the nursery monitored her, assisted her with coping mechanisms and supported further changes, but they have also supported me as it’s been very emotional for us both. All the carers and the manager have been amazing. We now have regular meetings to action plan how best to support her and it has even helped me and my ex-partner co-parent better.
Couldn’t recommend it here enough.

My son has been attending the Mama Bears Hanham Hall setting since August 2020 and has thrived in the welcoming, supportive, and fun environment. His confidence, skills, curiosity and independence have all been encouraged by the setting and staff, regardless of what age he has been. The outside activity space is second to none in the area and he absolutely loves the freedom he has to explore through play in the environment he enjoys most. As parents, we are given frequent updates about activities and achievements, and staff are always well informed about how he’s got on during his day.

It has been a complex journey with my little one’s needs as a result, her placement in another nursery was terminated. I found Mama Bears from an internet search and had a bit of research done to decipher if it was the right environment for my little one to strive. Definitely, it is. From the first visit, she was fully welcomed and slowly integrated into the day-to-day activities. Bearing in my mind her needs, she has really come a long way. She now has staff that understand her needs and activities are tailored to her needs. The staff listens and makes changes where necessary. I am really happy my little one is fully accepted irrespective of her needs and she loves it over at Mama Bears. That is what matters to me.

Lovely setting. Great garden. Great communication from the team and they clearly have good bonds with the children.
I like the app as you can see how your child is eating but also how they are progressing as it puts the framework indicators there so you can monitor the development. Would highly recommend
