November 2, 2024 at 12:59 amNuffy Bear Day Childcare centre at Tunbridge Wells has a fantastic atmosphere with inviting, welcoming, welcoming team who are easy to talk to and have a excellent relationship with the kids of parents.
The rooms/childcare centre itself are well organised and spotless.
Our little girl is consistently playing, discovering and cheerful.
She has developed excellent updates skills, including some sign language here and there.
Our little girl has a dairy intolerance and the team cater for these very well….no complaints at all.

November 8, 2024 at 12:43 pmBoth kids absolutely adore their sessions and look forward to going to childcare centre enormously, chatting about the team and activities far more than they talk about anything else they do outside of childcare centre! The kids seem genuinely disappointed when it is not a childcare centre day! I have found the team and childcare centre manager to be wonderfully attentive and enthusiastic. They really do go out of their way to keep the kids well occupied and ensure the kids have a varied timetable of activities. Overall I am delighted with the kids’s reaction to and development at the setting and these thoughts are echoed by my parents who have collected the kids on occasion. Knights Park Leisure Park is convenient to get to and there is consistently plenty of parking. My one reservation before enrolling the kids was the relatively small outdoor space, but this has not been a problem. The kids get outside plenty when weather permits and as the childcare centre itself is quite large and they also have use of other space within the Nuffield building the kids still get plenty of physical playtime even when it is raining. Over 3’s also have swimming lessons at the Nuffield pool. And did I say how lovely the team are…? My two youngest kids have been attending the Nuffy Bear Childcare centre at Nuffield Health, Knights Park, Tunbridge Wells since it opened earlier this year (2015).

November 15, 2024 at 4:55 pmMost mornings, (when not in a hump) he runs straight to the doors and can’t wait to get in and playtime. The style of care doesn’t just mean playtime but it involves discovering in a way that the kids have enjoyable and know boundaries. They are constantly kept busy and entertained too.
My son has had lots going on since being at this childcare centre. We have had to deal with a food intolerance that we could not get diagnosed. Between the girls and myself, we have diagnosed his intolerance and the girls have made sure that he has no gluten in his diet now. They spent several months writing a food diary for us to use when having tests which is something that I am very grateful for.
The girls are consistently cheerful to listen if you have any questions or problems and will help in any way that they can.
I have recommended this childcare centre to friends and mums at my daughter’s school and will continue to do so. My son has been using this childcare centre for 18 months now and is the happiest little man when here.

November 27, 2024 at 10:43 pmOur daughter settled in much easier than anticipated having had a year of maternity leave with me and this was a reflection of the attentive, attentive nature and dedication of the team. She is already making excellent development with team incorporating her home routine with opportunities to try out new things. It’s really lovely being able to delight in the workday knowing our little one is so well cared for. The food is outstanding too! Nuffy Bear Day Childcare centre Tunbridge Wells came highly recommended by a great friend and from our first enquiries and interaction, I felt very reassured in our choice.

December 26, 2024 at 1:17 amMy little one was very at ease on his settling sessions and is looked after by very lovely girls. I adore how his home routine is followed at childcare centre but he also gets to try so many new things he might not get to at home. The team have been fantastic with all of my queries too. From the moment I made my first enquiry with Nuffy Bear Day Childcare centre Tunbridge Wells I felt really at ease and confident in my choice.

December 27, 2024 at 9:43 amOur twins used to scream and cry going to their old childcare centre but that wasn’t the case here. From the moment they walk in they are greeted with such warmth and friendliness. The room consistently has exceptional and multiple activities set up for them to immediately explore and they are allowed to immerse themselves in free, imaginative and outdoor playtime. They particularly adore the French lessons and games in the gym, and the option of swimming lessons when they turn 3 is an added bonus.
The manager and team are all lovely creating a excellent atmosphere. As you may tell I couldn’t suggest the childcare centre more highly. We joined Nuffy Bear Day Childcare centre when we moved to the area.

January 19, 2025 at 10:33 amMy son has been coming since Nov 2016 and I am so cheerful with everything about the childcare centre. The team are incredible and really understand my kid’s personality and individual needs. He has been having NHS speech and language sessions following our GP’s referral, and this has been fully supported at the childcare centre. I have noticed a huge improvement with him and cannot thank the girls at the childcare centre enough.
They provide healthy snacks and ‘home-cooked’ meals that my son loves. When I go to collect him, I am told what sort of day he has had, what activities he has done and how much food he’s had (usually he eats everything!)
The team consistently have time to talk to me if I have any questions or concerns, and I consistently sense they have spent enough time with me.
We are planning to send my daughter here when she is older and would suggest Nuffy Bear to anyone. I am so pleased I found Nuffy Bear!

January 20, 2025 at 5:02 amThe team have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure our boys are well looked after. They genuinely care about all of the kids and consistently offer to help them with any life changes such as the recent birth of their baby brother.
One of our boys can be quite shy and they have made extra efforts to help welcome him in the mornings, ensuring he is consistently greeted calmly and with the biggest smile. This makes it so much easier for us to leave him.
The boys have made lovely friends at the childcare centre too and they have encouraged them to communicate and playtime really nicely with each other.
I would give 5 stars across the board but I sense it would be incredible for the team and kids if they had a larger outdoor space (not necessarily something they can control).
We are so pleased with the care our boys receive there and we would definitely suggest the childcare centre. Our boys adore Nuffy Bear and as parents we couldn’t be happier.

January 28, 2025 at 6:45 pmThe childcare centre is bright and cheerful. The team genuinely care about the kids’s development and created strong bonds with both boys. The care and teaching seem to be very tailored to the kid’s interests and needs. Our eldest loved swimming lessons. Would highly suggest. Our boys have been at Nuffys since they were babies and absolutely loved it.

February 5, 2025 at 1:48 pmHe is autistic and they are consistently supportive to us, and especially to my son. He loves coming to the childcare centre and gets so excited. I adore how they cook healthy meals for kids. The team are very welcoming and supportive. Team have been so incredible to my son. With the assistance we get from them we owe them so much. My son is now starting be vocal and we give all our thanks to them for his ongoing development. Nuffy Bear has been an incredible day childcare centre for our son.

February 6, 2025 at 4:55 pmThe manager and her team take so much pride in the school and they genuinely care about each kid. They are consistently on the lookout for new/different games and activities to inspire the kids. They take excellent care in discovering about each kid through their focus weeks and centre activities to help each kid become their best selves. We are so lucky to have found this childcare centre and I often suggest the school to friends. My son has been at Nuffy Bear Day Childcare centre, Tunbridge Wells, for 18 months now and we have watched the childcare centre grow from strength to strength.

February 17, 2025 at 6:03 pmI decided to move her out when I moved school for my older one – it meant drop off at one location. I very quickly realised that that was the wrong decision.
My daughter has not once complained of any of her basic needs being overlooked. I appreciate this can happen when attentive for many kids at the same time. But the team are attentive. I am also quite pedantic about nutrition. I mentioned this to the Manager on the first day, and that I might be picky if diet isn’t well balanced. I have had no complaints. I can confirm it’s no less healthy compared to the diet I provide at home.
I have decided to stick it out with Nuffy Bear’s because it gives me peace of mind. I’m sure other nurseries have far more equipment and higher OFSTED ratings. But what matters most for me is a team of inviting, experienced and attentive carers who can make childcare centre sense like a second home. Thank you for all your hard work and positive attitude! My daughter started attending Nuffy Bear Day Childcare centre over the summer of 2017.

March 2, 2025 at 8:10 amAll the team are exceptional, very welcoming and expert. They work hard to find activities each kid enjoys and to adapt discovering activities to suit their interests. The meals are great and the kids are encouraged to try different foods and to sit nicely together at mealtimes. Highly recommended! We adore this childcare centre and our son has been very cheerful here over the last 18 months, starting in the baby room and moving on to the main room.

March 28, 2025 at 9:19 amShe is enjoying it so much we have increased her hours.
Her speech has really improved and she seems to adore all the interactions with other kids and team.
All the team have been incredible, very supportive and consistently cheerful. My 19 month old has been at Nuffy Bear for 5 months and could not be happier.

May 10, 2025 at 9:49 pmFrom the settling in July until now, the team have worked so well with my daughter and my family to make sure that everyone is cheerful. My daughter is now a childcare centre enthusiast and it is thanks to the dedication of the team- two members of team, in particular, have worked so hard with my daughter to make her sense welcomed and loved while away from my husband and I and have taken the time to get to know all her quirks and routines to make the transition to childcare centre life a pleasant one. Nothing is too much for them; they have been so flexible with allowing her to go an extra day as I am a nurse and have needed further assistance during the pandemic. Thank you to all the Nuffy Bear team for all your continued hard work. I can’t speak highly enough of the team at Nuffy Bear.

May 25, 2025 at 3:32 amMy youngest son started in the baby room 4 months ago and he is so cheerful. It’s consistently a struggle leaving your baby when you go back to work, but this has been made all the easier by the incredible team at Nuffy Bear, who take such remarkable care of him. The team are incredibly compassionate, attentive and nurturing. In the baby room, all of the team are fantastic and like second mum’s to my son: to the point where he sometimes doesn’t want to come home in the evening as he’s enjoying himself so much. The team provide detailed feedback on how his day his been and often send photos/updates during the day about how he’s getting on. The meals served are consistently really nutritious -I’ve had to up my cooking game at home as a result. The variety of stimulation the childcare centre offer the babies (and toddlers) is remarkable, they have such enjoyable-filled days. I’ve already recommended Nuffy Bear to friends who now send their kids there. I would suggest Nuffy Bear to anyone seeking a fantastic childcare centre. My boys adore Nuffy Bear childcare centre.

June 9, 2025 at 9:09 pmIt is abundantly clear they have a fantastic team of ladies who are committed to attentive, teaching and nurturing our kids in a way that fills us with self‑assurance every time we drop them off at the childcare centre.
The boys have flourished at Nuffy Bear and they are constantly being observed and monitored by the team to make sure they are developing and discovering so they are ready to development to the next stage of their childhood.
The team work well as a team and never miss even the small details that parents need to know about. They have supported us as parents and offered guidance when we have reached out to them. We have got to know certain members of the team very well and as parents, we sense that those individuals are simply irreplaceable. I am so grateful my kids have had the privilege of growing up in their care. Our twin boys have been attending Nuffy Bear Childcare centre, Tunbridge Wells, since May 2019.

June 12, 2025 at 10:18 pmThe team have been so welcoming and the settling in days really helped to get him used to everything. They have shown such kindness which has really eased any worries that I might have had. My son has just started at the childcare centre and he is already loving it.
Logan Owens
June 18, 2025 at 7:20 pmMy son loves it at the childcare centre and has developed so much since going there.
The team are so welcoming and consistently cheerful to go through how my son has got on during the day.
He consistently has loads of activities to do and usually doesn’t want to leave in the evening!
Would highly suggest Nuffy Bear to anyone.
