May 4, 2022 at 12:00 amI can’t say how amazing the staff and nursery are at Long Road Paignton, they are 10/10 – outstanding.
I would like to thank the manager for her help with my son over the last year.
She is a true asset to the company.

May 17, 2022 at 12:00 amI take my granddaughter and collect her from nursery, every week. The staff are always welcoming and my granddaughter absolutely loves going, she would go every day if she could. They have prepared her well for school. They are always quick to spot any issues however minor and happy to discuss her progress and general day to day activities. She has been doing I can’t recommend highly enough. an excellent start to the school experience.

December 2, 2022 at 12:00 amGreat nursery, lovely staff and always have confidence when leaving my child with them who has special needs.
They are really good with him and he loves it there.
He has come on so much thanks to their patience and perseverance and it’s always lovely to see his progress and what he’s been up to through the app they use which is brilliant.
I would highly recommend.

December 2, 2022 at 12:00 amThis nursery is the best nursery I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to a lot), they are brilliant with the kids and always have time for the adults too.
All the staff are always welcoming and friendly and always have a smile for you even after a tiring day which is lovely.
They are very patient and supportive of my little one and I couldn’t be happy with their service. He absolutely loves going and I feel completely relaxed when leaving him in their care (trust is a wonderful thing).

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amMama Bear’s Day Nursery at Long Road has been amazing so far for my little boy.
He is thriving every day and really enjoys going.
They have a good settling-in process which is great for babies and parents.
The communication on a day-to-day basis is second to none, the app is a great addition as I enjoy seeing what my little one is doing each day and what he’s eaten/slept etc. with the odd picture added every now and again which is great.
All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and nurturing.
I would highly recommend Mama Bear’s.

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amAmazing staff who truly care for my child and encourage him to be the best he can be. My son is always eager to go to his key worker, but also equally comfortable with other workers who make him feel accepted. There is good communication from the staff and their commitment to supporting the needs of my child is great!

January 16, 2023 at 12:00 amOur daughter wailed every morning as we took her in, she had previously been at a different preschool (in a different area) that she loved and never had any issues with. We tried to take her out after only a couple of weeks but they demanded four weeks’ notice. Mama Bear’s is a business first and a nursery second, profits are more important than the children (and their staff – we had covid related drama too). At the door, I heard numerous parents questioning injuries their kids had, and at almost every pick up my daughter had a dirty nappy. We pulled her out, irrespective of the lost money, and sent her to another Preschool where she was immediately happy and thriving. We have a younger child and know that Mama Bears is the only place with immediate availability in the bay and whilst we need the childcare we wouldn’t even consider this place an option.

January 25, 2023 at 12:00 amWe are extremely pleased with Mama Bears day nursery. Our son started in the baby room at the age of 11 months on a 4-day basis. He settled very well from day one, and this was a huge relief being first-time parents. The staff are amazing; they are very caring and have established an excellent rapport with my son. When my son arrives at nursery and we are welcomed by a member of the staff, he would go with them without hesitation with a big smile on his face. On collection, he is always very happy and will take time to say bye to staff that have taken such good care of him. We are also very pleased with the way the nursery communicates with us. We have daily updates on food, nappies and naps via their app and they will always call us to update us on anything else. Staff will also let us know what our son has been up to when we collect him in the evening. Meals and menus are balanced and they always try and meet special dietary requirements. An outstanding nursery; we could not ask for more

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amMy daughter went from the baby room up to the bouncy room 6 months early but this has done wonders for her development and she has progressed so much. The staff have been very informative and understanding and they listen to any concerns we have had from other professionals and always support my daughter’s needs.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Mama Bear’s for nearly 2 years now and I have no complaints or concerns regarding his safety and learning.
The staff are very friendly and always welcome my son with a big smile and make him feel welcome.
The manager and the team have been very supportive to me and I’m very glad I chose this nursery for my child.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amAll 3 of my children have attended Long Road nursery and I highly recommend it. They are very welcoming and great with the children. The service they provide is amazing! They have some lovely outdoor space and the rooms are very welcoming and interactive too.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amGreat nursery – my son has been going for about a year and his development has come on leaps and bounds.
When he started I explained he had a speech delay and so his key workers have spent time working with him one on one with his speech and I’ve noticed a huge improvement.
Communication is great and the staff are always polite and friendly and answer any questions you have.
Getting updates on nappy changes/food eaten etc daily via an app is a massive bonus. Overall very happy with Mama Bear’s.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son started at Mama Bears Long Road in October 2022. Right from the start when I went to look around to now the team have been very helpful, attentive and supportive. I cannot thank the team in the baby room enough for how hard they worked and the patience they showed in helping my little boy (and us!) to integrate into nursery life. My son absolutely loves nursery and it’s clear when he returns home how much he has enjoyed himself. He has come on leaps and bounds in his speech and his general overall development as a result of being at the nursery just 2 days per week because of the activities and stimulation and attention he gets when he is there. The team in the baby room always have a chat with my partner to tell him about my son’s day and how he has been. They are responsive and attentive to his needs and the requests I make. I would recommend this nursery to anyone. The team are top-class and a real asset to the nursery. Thanks all.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amWe were understandably nervous about finding the right nursery for our child.
Mama Bears were by far the best we visited and we immediately felt it was the right place for our son.
They have been incredibly supportive of us and helped our child settle in. Since he started attending he has developed his confidence, skills and the team has made us feel that he’s a valued and well-cared-for child.
He does a wide range of activities, they offer him a good and healthy range of meals and we get regular updates which offer us reassurance.
He enjoys his time there and that’s the best part for us.

March 31, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son loves going to the nursery. His speech is coming along lovely with the support of his key worker and he tries new food every day. The nursery encourages the children to eat a healthy nutritional meal and respects certain dietary requirements. Myself and my son always feel welcome by the nursery.

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amMy children have been coming to Mama Bear’s for almost 2 years now and absolutely love it. The manager and the team are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to help you and nothing is ever an issue. The children thrive there and always come home so happy.
I can’t fault them in any way, I have another child starting this year and can’t wait to see how much he thrives too.

April 3, 2023 at 12:00 amBoth of my children are in great hands with the staff at Mama Bear’s. My eldest is always excited to spend a day at nursery full of games, songs and many different activities. He loves spending time out in the garden. While my youngest has a lot of 1 to 1 care with his key worker and enriched sensory play. Throughout the day I get constant updates on the app which gives me great piece of mind.

April 11, 2023 at 12:00 amMy twelve-month-old son has attended Mama Bears Nursery for one month. I have been thoroughly impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff who seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me and my child. The facilities were bright and colourful and all of the equipment is well-maintained and up-to-date. What really stands out to me is the level of care that every child receives. The nursery has a real sense of community, where each child’s individual needs were catered for, with plenty of opportunities for socialisation, learning and play. It’s reassuring to see such enthusiasm from both the staff and children alike. Overall, I would highly recommend Mama Bears Nursery as an excellent choice for anyone looking for quality childcare in a warm, nurturing environment.

April 20, 2023 at 12:00 amMy son has been attending Mama Bears Long Road for nearly 2 years, and I cannot explain how much he has thrived since being there. The staff are brilliant and always willing to go above and beyond for me and my child. My son gets very overwhelmed and they are always there to help keep him calm. I couldn’t recommend them enough.
