My daughter has been with mama bears since May, they have been nothing but amazing. They always made me feel so comfortable leaving her and ensures I'm up to date with everything. At the moment my daughter is finding it hard to leave me but Paisley is always there to help and she settles extremely quickly
and loves everyone in the bouncy room. Honestly so happy and grateful with everyone at Mama bears!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My son has been going to Mama Bear's Taunton nursery for 4-5 months. He is really happy there. The room leader and all of his day carers are really warm, very polite, and extremely knowledgeable and they always took the time to tell me about my son's day (what he's been up to, what activities he's enjoyed,
how long he's slept, what he's eaten, and anything else that might need to be flagged). He loves doing painting, playing in 'the magic garden', and riding on the tricycle outside, as well as playing with his trucks and dinosaurs. My son sometimes won't eat his main lunch so it's good they also have good snack options mid/ late afternoon. The uploads to the App are also a great way to see developmental steps and snapshots of your child's day. It is a well managed nursery and I have also found their accounts person to be very prompt and professional. All in all I think they provide a very good nursery service.

My granddaughter has been at Mama Bears since October 2024 at the age of 3 months. She settled in immediately thanks to the lovely, welcoming and caring staff. The setting is small and cosy which keeps it peaceful and safe. The staff are always vigilent in their care duties and are clearly well trained
and happy in their jobs. I can highly recommend this nursery

I will like to use this medium to give a Loud shout out to the entire staff of your mama bear nursery Taunton branch. Those ladies are the real VIPs. Their friendly nature and heartwarming smiles speaks volumes of the delicate and intentional care they give to my children and other children in the nursery.
I see them cuddle these little ones like they gave birth to them. I ve never seen a thing like it. I can't list all their names but my flowers goes to them all. The bouncy room goddess, the preschool icon along side the baby room ladies, the kitchen lady who makes wonderful meals under very hygienic conditions (i know this because my boys have never had to react negatively to anything they eat) and of course the managers who have been nothing short of professional in running the nursery. Thank you ladies and the family appreciate you all.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a year now, to begin with she was shy and reserved. She is now very confident and has truly come out of her shell.


She has a strong bond with her key person who she loves going to see each day. She even talks about her at home and to family members.


They have put on lovely stay and plays this past year including a winter/Christmas stay and play with lots of activities and just this last week had a Mother's Day tea.


She has got on so well I would recommend this nursery with not a bad word to say.

My son has been attending Mama Bears since Sept 2024. I was sooo nervous at first to put him anywhere as he was at a childminders previously and just wouldn't settle. Within his first couple of weeks at Mama Bears he settled and I could notice a difference in him, he was so happy there and he still
loves it.


My son has recently had an operation to improve his hearing and the nursery have fully supported this and have helped him come out of his shell and explore more, whilst making extra efforts to support his weaknesses.


Every staff member has been amazing with Brody and I cannot thank them enough. I have and will continue to praise this nursery to everyone because it really is a fab place to send your child :)

My son has been at Mama Bear's Day Nursery since he was 7 months old and absolutely loves going to nursery! He's well looked after and is thriving in all areas, socially, educationally and emotionally. The only downside is the lack of care arrangements from 5-6pm due to staff shortages which means little
consistency with key practitioners. That said, I appreciate that this is an issue that cuts across the industry. The management is great, proactive and friendly. Thank you team Mama Bears!

We as a family absolutely love Mama Bear's Day Nursery Fortview! Our daughter has been there since she was ten months old and is now almost three. She has been in each of the rooms and has loved every moment in there! The kids have lots of activities to do in doors and outdoors, they interact with kids
their own age as well as older and younger, and interact with all members of staff! My child eats all sorts of things due to a variety of different meals and snacks on the menu and is hitting all targets that she should be according to the government. I couldn't recommend Mama Bear's more to people.

I am extremely impressed with this nursery and feel confident leaving my daughter there. She started when she was 8 months old and her development since being at this nursery has been remarkable. She comes home speaking sign language, singing new songs, talking about new books she has read and her speech
has developed massively. It is clear the nursery workers are all trained to industry standards and they are all genuinely lovely and are really invested in my daughter's development. We get daily updates on the app so we can see what she has been up to. My daughter has specific dietary requirements and the nursery has been fantastic and so thorough in ensuring she is catered for appropriately. Communication is great between the nursery and parents and as a parent I feel confident my daughter is safe, developing well and generally having a really fun, happy time at this nursery.

We are overall very happy with the nursery. The staff and caring and friendly. I get regular updates about my child's progress and love receiving photos every day. The nursery provides a range of activities to suit my child.
Unfortunately, the nursery has been limiting the hours we originally signed
up for due to staffing- this has made juggling work and nursery care very tricky for the last few months and it is affecting our work-life balance as work is having to be done on a weekend to make up for missed hours.
Our child's name is sometimes spelt incorrectly on their work and personal things they bring home.

from S W (Mother of Child) published on 10 February 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

My daughter attended this setting from 8 months old until she was almost three years. We were initially really happy with the care that my daughter received while she was in the baby room (low staffing ratio). However when she transitioned to the toddler room, we found that she would come home filthy
and on occasion with a mystery scratch or two.
It took almost a year for the nursery to replace the flooring in the baby room. When my crawling daughter would crawl on their floors she would come home with black socks and knees.
They also charge £1.95 per hour for parents to use their childcare hours, which feels like a punishment for working parents and would have meant that if we wanted to use them we would have to pay more which is ridiculous.
When confronted with the above the manager is defensive and made snidey comments which is a shame because all of the girls that work there are lovely! Especially four specific members of staff. We miss you! But not the grotty nursery.

My little boy has been going to Mama Bear's Day Nursery for 2 years, since he was 18 months old. His little brother, aged almost 2, has been going since 11 months old. They both have very good attachments to their key workers and the other staff. I experience both kinds of drop offs on a daily basis
- one child with separation anxiety who often cries at drop off, and the other who happily goes off without looking back - and they are both welcomed with warm hugs, and 5 minutes later they are both always laughing and smiling when I look through the window. The manager, is absolutely brilliant and has helped us out no end with all sorts of work related childcare problems we have, and always goes the extra mile - even replying to emails at 10pm about arranging extra sessions etc! I wholeheartedly recommend Mama Bears.
