September 26, 2024 at 6:13 amWe’ve stuck by them throughout the team changes etc and I have to say that they’ve consistently put my boys first no matter what. My kids absolutely adore it there and that is the most important thing to me. One of my kids struggles with emotions in situations but doesn’t have this problem at Mama Bear’s. The team truly give him their 100% and cover his needs. They are highly well cared for and looked after. My only criticism, which is not of this childcare centre but of the way things are set up in general, is that the session times are not that excellent. It would be great if these could be looked at and improved for parents. For example I would much prefer doing a 10am – 4pm session instead of 12:30-5:30 slot but this is not possible. I think you need to give parents the opportunity to drop off and pick up at the times they choose. Rather than specific slots to choose from which aren’t excellent times. We’ve been attending Mama Bear’s Bridgwater since January 2021 and we adore it so much.

October 9, 2024 at 2:20 amWith so much change that has happened, he still loves going to childcare centre more than ever now. The new manager is excellent, she is inviting and welcoming as well as highly supportive, my little boy runs up to each and every member of team and hugs them. Thank you to the new girls for keeping us cheerful and supporting me with him, you are all excellent. My baby boy has been coming here since he was 9 months old and now he is 2.

November 27, 2024 at 5:16 pmAll the team are compassionate and highly supportive. I could not be happier with the care and discovering development provided. My son loves being at the childcare centre and talks about his friends and tutors all the time. Keep up the great work. I do not have enough words to thank the new management for doing a excellent job in improving customer service.

November 29, 2024 at 4:00 pmThe team are all exceptionally supportive and they truly focus on working with me to ensure my kids’s home routine is similar to their school routine which is highly supportive. My youngest son, being born during the Covid pandemic has consistently been a highly shy kid and likes to stay by an adult however, since he has been in childcare centre the team have truly encouraged him to engage in playtime and activities with other kids which have had a massive impact at home for us too. The team are highly consistent with their communications and daily updates on their app informing me of important details about their day as well as regular photos of them enjoying certain activities. The setting itself is a lovely setting with a excellent garden and plenty of activities in each room. All the team are incredible and both my kids adore coming into the childcare centre! I have had a fantastic journey with Mama Bears, my eldest son joined in September 2022 and my youngest then followed a few months later.

January 31, 2025 at 1:09 pmMy son (and I!) were both truly anxious for him to start childcare centre. After a couple of weeks of teething problems getting him settled in, he has now had a couple of weeks where he has had an incredible time. I know when I drop him off he is secure and well cared for, that enjoyable and enriching activities will be planned, that he will be able to safely interact with other kids and trusted adults and that he will eat great and nutritious food. The childcare centre providers have kept me truly well informed throughout the process of getting my little boy settled in, and have been cheerful to talk to me when I’ve phoned up to see how he’s getting on. I also get regular updates with photos and videos on the app which helps me through the day when I’m missing him. My baby now loves the baby room and has made some nice bonds with team. I would highly suggest Mama Bears to anybody! I have been truly impressed with Mama Bear’s Day Childcare centre & Pre-School (Bridgwater).

February 17, 2025 at 5:56 pmIt was. But the team bonded with him instantly; he has such a personality!
The team there all know who he is. He is so comfortable now in there and is so cheeky with the team. He has gone from babies to bounce and will be going into their Pre-School next week. His speech has developed, and his self‑assurance has only increased since being there.
His key worker for the entire time he has been there, and I can not say enough great things about her. She has the same compassionate of outlook on everything as we do at home and is our type of person, which is why they matched so well. Another member of team has also been incredible since he joined. They have both been through so much change since we’ve been there, and it hasn’t shown through either of them. They’ve been consistent and incredible the whole time. An absolute credit to this childcare centre. My son has been attending this setting since October 2021.
Sending him to the childcare centre is one of those things I know would be beneficial for him, but so hard to do!

March 10, 2025 at 7:18 amI could not be happier with the care and discovering course provided by this fabulous childcare centre.
Two of my kids now attend here and I have no hesitation in enrolling my third kid.
The team are absolutely remarkable; cheerful, welcoming, consistently greet you and the kids with a smile and are consistently ready to fully inform you of your kid’s day, activities and this is also updated on the parent app – exceptional! Brings real peace of mind.
Cannot praise this setting enough!
Thank you so much! Mama Bear’s Bridgwater is an absolutely outstanding childcare centre setting!

March 13, 2025 at 12:24 pmAll the team are truly inviting and welcoming – we can’t speak highly enough of the childcare centre. Updates is consistently excellent. We adore that they use a parent app because we get to see photos and messages throughout the day. As key workers, we’ve been so grateful that he has been able to attend childcare centre during the pandemic and we consistently sense confident Mama Bear’s does everything to keep everyone secure as they can. Our son has clearly built up a excellent relationship with his key worker and other team. Knowing he is cheerful, makes us cheerful! Thanks for all you do. We are truly pleased we chose to send our son to Mama Bear’s.

March 16, 2025 at 3:18 pmThe team team are so nurturing and take the time to understand the kids. I truly like the fact that when we drop off and collect they take a few minutes despite being busy, to hand over. My daughter gets to do so many varied activities and loves her time at pre-school. The childcare centre manager is incredible – and leads by example often in the thick of it with the kids as well. There is plenty of parking right outside the childcare centre which makes it highly easy to drop off and collect, and the flexible booking system makes it more reasonable than other providers. The site is spotless and secure – I have no concerns whatsoever leaving my daughter in their care. I have been so impressed by the childcare centre team at Mama Bear’s in Bridgwater.

March 17, 2025 at 8:50 pmMy 3-year-old is in the preschool room and has a fantastic relationship with his key worker and the team. He is cheerful, enjoys going in, is well looked after and enjoys lots of enjoyable activities and discovering! I’m impressed by the menu provided. It’s excellent to know that they are having a nutritious and varied diet. There have been recent changes in management which have improved many things, including updates. They offer a parent’s evening and use an App to post photos and care details. It’s excellent to see what they’ve been up to and helps me sense connected to them when I’m at work. My baby has recently completed some settling sessions, I can’t believe how well he is doing so far, he seems truly cheerful on pickup and has already developed a lovely relationship with his key worker. We sense highly cheerful to have this childcare centre nearby and to know the boys are well looked after, it’s not easy leaving them so young but Mama Bear’s makes it easier. My 2 boys attend Mama Bear’s childcare centre, we adore it.
Emerson Keane
March 24, 2025 at 7:33 pmThe team are consistently welcoming, expert and you can tell they have a passion for education and treat each kid as an individual.
The rooms are spotless, spacious and have everything a kid could want to playtime with. The outdoor space is our sons favourite place to be and the activities are enjoyable and educational. He also loves the food the chef makes, she somehow gets him to eat vegetables!
Would highly suggest Mama Bear’s, big thank you to all the team! We are so glad that we sent our little boy to Mama Bear’s childcare centre, he is consistently so cheerful to go and comes home with a big smile on his face usually covered in paint and glitter which we adore as it’s a sign they’ve been doing enjoyable activities and messy playtime.

April 2, 2025 at 3:38 amIt is clear the team care for the kids. Consistently welcome us with a smile and a welcoming attitude. Going into the setting has been so nice, seeing all the lovely activities the kids have daily and the displays in the room. The team assistance my grandson in the most incredible way.
Winter Owens
April 5, 2025 at 2:28 amThe team have done a fab job of helping him to settle in as with Covid he had little interaction before attending childcare centre with kids of his age. The regular updates posted through the day are excellent and it’s lovely to see the photos and he is consistently smiling! My son has been attending Mama Bear’s since November 2020 and I cannot fault the service we have received.
Alex Cross
April 5, 2025 at 6:54 amThe team are so welcoming, consistently got smiles on their faces. My daughter has warmed to all of the team and I’m so cheerful. My daughter has been going to this childcare centre since it opened and she absolutely loves it.
Hayden Drake
June 5, 2025 at 6:37 amMy daughter absolutely loves going, she consistently is smiling and enjoys doing lots of enjoyable things. The home cooked food is a winner! I consistently suggest it to my mummy friends who need a childcare centre. Lovely, welcoming childcare centre.

June 14, 2025 at 4:43 pmMy son has come on so well since being at this childcare centre and the manager goes above and beyond to fit your hours in would 100% suggest this place. This is by far the best childcare centre going the team are excellent and keep you informed of everything your kid does all day.

June 16, 2025 at 5:34 amI especially appreciate Mama Bear’s Day Childcare centre & Pre-School (Bridgwater) for helping my then anxious baby get over his separation anxiety. It helped me focus more at work knowing he’s cheerful and secure. It took some time for my baby to settle since he was with me for a while as a result of the lockdown.

June 21, 2025 at 9:04 amMy 2 year old became a bit unsettled when he first started but that was supported well by all team in the bouncy room. His key-worker along with all the other team in the bouncy room are supporting us with some behaviour issues we are having at home and we are seeing an improvement with their assistance. We’ve also seen an improvement already in his development and he non stop sings childcare centre rhymes now wherever we are, he has started talking about letters and trying to draw them and is becoming more independent.
I was truly worried about my 10 month old starting as he had been with no-one but me his whole life but he seems to have settled amazingly. We have no tears at handover and he has become less clingy since starting. I adore being able to see exactly what they’ve been doing on my lunch break using the app system as its updated during the day. My two boys (10 months and 2 years 10 months) started at Mama Bear’s on the 19th April and are definitely enjoying it.
Robin Quincy
July 5, 2025 at 1:52 amAll the team are excellent with her. They have all helped me to make sure she is settled. Truly pleased with everything. My little one has not long started at this childcare centre, but she has settled in truly well.
Jordan Flynn
July 7, 2025 at 3:54 amConsistently cheerful to go in and comes out with a big smile on his face. He is discovering so much and having enjoyable playing with the team and other kids. My son currently attends Mama Bear’s Childcare centre and he loves it.
