October 8, 2020 at 12:00 amI was extremely worried about my son starting nursery due to not being able to actually go in the nursery myself (Covid) and the change over in management, but I have been happy with communication since he has joined. The log is updated frequently, which I look forward to viewing throughout the day.

February 4, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter started at Mama Bear’s, Allison Road in December 2020 and we are really impressed with the leadership of new manager and her team.
We receive regular updates on our daughter’s progress and are content that she is in a safe and happy environment.

February 4, 2021 at 12:00 amAll staff are lovely and kind, great at communication and raise any concerns or any time my child has a bump I am informed. My child has come so far at the setting and really enjoys it, she comes home every day telling us about her friends and her teachers. She really looks up to everyone.
Thank you for everything you do especially through this tough year we’ve had!

February 4, 2021 at 12:00 amWe are extremely happy with Mama Bear’s Brislington, and highly recommend them!
Our daughter has attended this branch for about 6 months now, starting when she was 10months old. The manager is extremely competent and attentive and gives constant feedback. We also have daily updates via the app, with photos and assessments on development and well-being on a weekly basis. There is plenty of outdoor space to play (front and back), and they do several activities every day. They’ve also been brilliant at accommodating our dietary needs, working hard at having her nap every day, and using cloth nappies (even coming up with a solution to accommodate us with the CV19 restrictions in mind).
Our daughter is very excited to arrive there in the mornings, which I think is the highest recommendation of all. We’re very happy to have found them!

February 4, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter now happily walks into nursery independently and confidently. Her language has progressed and she is becoming more independent with her play.

February 9, 2021 at 12:00 amOur daughter has attended this setting since she was 8 months old. She will be 3 this spring. We have seen many changes in the team throughout her time here but the nursery has gone from strength to strength with the support of the wider management team. The management at the nursery and at the head office are all approachable and easy to reach. Our daughter has built some very strong bonds with both her peers and the staff. She is always happy to go to nursery and comes bounding out with a smile on her face excited to tell us about her day. She does a broad range of activities both adult and child-led. The outdoor spaces are brilliant and lots of investment has been made over recent months in improving the facilities with new exciting equipment for the children. We are very happy with the provision of care for our daughter.

February 10, 2021 at 12:00 amI think the staff are working incredibly during these testing times.
My son started with Mama Bear’s in October 2020 and he settled so well thanks to the staff. He now loves going and has met loads of friends.

February 11, 2021 at 12:00 amMy daughter has been coming to Mama Bear’s since she was 10 months old (now almost 3 and a half) and she loves it. The staff have been wonderful and really communicate with you and keep you up to date with everything and I especially love getting little observations on the app with little notes and pictures of her day and being told what she had to eat on the app!

February 11, 2021 at 12:00 amMy child loves attending Mama Bear’s at Allison Road. My eldest has left but also enjoyed his time at the nursery. The nursery offers great care and lots of different activities throughout the day. Food is made on-site which is lovely. The outdoor space for each room of the nursery (each age group), is vast and well equipped. All the staff are lovely and keep you updated via an app on your child’s progress. Would recommend.

April 5, 2021 at 12:00 amWe moved to Bristol in December 2020 and were anxious that our son attend preschool as soon as possible, to lessen the effect of moving to a new place for him. Mama Bear’s Day Nursery (Brislington) has been exceptionally good at settling him in, especially given the restrictions placed on them by the coronavirus situation. Our son has absolutely thrived at Mama Bear’s Day Nursery (Brislington) and has made a good set of friends there that he will hopefully retain when he starts school later this year. He had a slight speech delay when he was younger and thanks to his learning and interest at Mama Bear’s Day Nursery (Brislington) he now will not stop talking, which is wonderful! Can’t recommend them enough. Plus, the food sounds delicious!

August 3, 2021 at 12:00 amMy son has attended Mama Bear’s at Allison Road for over 3 years now since he was 8 months old and always felt very well looked after.
The facilities and outdoor spaces are brilliant, and food is cooked on site.
He is thriving in this environment, loves going to nursery and has built very strong bonds with his peers and the staff.
The staff have been fantastic, the new manager is extremely competent, communication is great and they are all very approachable. I love getting little daily online updates on our son’s progress.
We are really happy with the care for our son, and we highly recommend them!

August 16, 2021 at 12:00 am2020 was a very challenging year for us, with our first child being born in the midst of the COVID pandemic. As a result, we were very eager to get our son into nursery so that he could meet other children and get to know other grown-ups, following essentially a whole year in lockdown. But we were also anxious about him mingling with others and whether or not he would be safe spending so much time in the company of strangers (given the risks posed by COVID). We’re really pleased with how Mama Bear’s on Allison Road has handled looking after all the children during this difficult time, and the staff have been brilliant at both welcoming our son into nursery, but also communicating with us and letting us know how he’s been getting on, especially considering the difficulties created by COVID restrictions and safety measures. Staff are always there to greet him in the morning. They are friendly and helpful and always keep us updated as to his progress. We’ve also seen great developmental strides since he’s been at nursery. He’s more confident with strangers and is much better at managing frustrations.

January 13, 2022 at 12:00 amWhat appears to be extremely poor recruitment management has led to children being kicked out of nursery just days before the Xmas holidays, leaving parents with no child care and no way to make new arrangements before their return to work once the holidays are over.
Staff at Brislington were otherwise friendly, however, our son was sent home for approximately five out of the twelve weeks he was there due to vomiting and diarrhoea. Not sure if that is common for children joining nursery after being in isolation or if it is a hygiene issue. Still had to pay for those five weeks of course.

January 3, 2023 at 12:00 amWonderful nursery. My son is very happy here in the babies room. Working really hard to deal with difficult staffing shortages across the nursery sector also.
My son gets up to lots of interesting things and enjoys the food, toys, activities and staff.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amLovely place for children, my son has been here since he was 1 and he’s now 3, he loves it every day, met some really good friends. The staff adapt to your needs with a friendly approach. The care is spot on and I would recommend 100%. Special mention to two ladies who really go above and beyond for my child.

April 2, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son attended here and he came out of his shell so much! The staff here are absolutely amazing, every day I had updates on what he was doing and it made me feel right at ease. The nursery itself was wonderful with lots of things for children to do! The best nursery I’ve ever had the pleasure of sending any of my children to

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amSince my daughter has been going to Mama Bear’s. She has become so confident and is thriving. She always enjoys her day and comes home happy. All the staff are lovely and caring towards the children and parents. They always take on board any concerns and help my daughter learn and develop in the best way possible.

Huge well done and thanks to them. They really deserve huge praise.

June 11, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter enjoys her time at Mama Bear’s Day Nursery and has made some lovely friends. All of the staff are always friendly and approachable and happy to talk about our daughter’s day and what she has been doing. They seem very engaged with the children even if they are in different classes. The food is cooked on site which our daughter loves and the cook is great too and very much part of the team.
