Overall Experience

I just want to say this nursery is absolutely amazing! They help with everything possible, my daughter started in November 2023 and has gained so much confidence and has came along way from when she first started! She has learnt so much from just going 2 days a week in such a short period of time! The

staff are incredible too they help and support all your needs and never fails to keep you posted on everything you need to know! They're great with keeping in contact with you too! I highly recommend this nursery to anyone who is looking to place their child into one! Mama Bears is absolutely incredible!

Overall Experience

My 2-year-old started nursery here in 2023 and absolutely loves going here. The staff are always uploading pictures and comments onto the app, which is especially good for knowing what she’s eaten in a day (she can be a picky eater). The staff are lovely and my child has really connected with them,

she gives them hugs before she leaves and she talks about them when we come home. The nursery always has different food for lunch and tea time every week, my child is encouraged to be independent (washing hands, hanging coat and bag up, etc.) which she carries on at home. The other children and the staff here are lovely, a really great nursery.

Overall Experience

My daughter has just finished attending Mama Bears at Stanbridge. She has been with this nursery since she was 2 years old.
The nursery is small and friendly and the staff are all very kind and caring towards the children. She definitely saw them all as extended family! She is about to start school

now but is going to miss attending this pre-school.

Overall Experience

My son has been really happy at Stanbridge Mama Bear's Day Nursery. He is always welcomed in each morning by smiling staff who care for him and his needs. The management have been proactive in supporting my child's development by knowing his specific needs well and preparing his transition to School

in September. My son has enjoyed the activities available such as baking and going on the bus to the Library or the park.

My son has been at the preschool since January. He loves it, and he never wants to leave! He loves the outdoor space, the different food and all the activities. The teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. It is a lovely preschool and I would recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful at the nursery and I can’t fault it in any way. Would like to thank all staff for the care and support and the time they have put into my children. The manager has been amazing all the years I have known her and a lot of the other staff are quite new but

also seemed to have settled into the role and are doing a great job. Last but not least the staff in the office is always polite and very helpful.

My son started this nursery in January 2022 and graduated in July. In the 7 months he was there the change in him was remarkable. The teachers were brilliant and the administration staff was amazing. I genuinely felt that while my son was in nursery he was with a group of people who truly loved him

and wanted the best for him. Great nursery!

Overall Experience

Since starting Stanbridge Day Nursery my son has grown and become so confident in himself. He is always so happy and excited to go and greet all the staff and always excited to go and play and loves them all as if they were family. My son's development in such a short amount of time has skyrocketed

and that’s all to the thanks of every single staff member there. The fact he literally runs in in the mornings is what makes me realise this establishment isn’t just adults in charge, but it’s people who treat your children as if they were their own and make them extremely comfortable. All staff members are so kind and polite and overall I just love it! I love it, my son loves it and I will absolutely hopefully be sending my daughter too! Also, the space for the children to play, explore and learn in is second to none! It’s fabulous and what you expect for growing children!

Overall Experience

My son attended the nursery for over 2 years and we are so sad that he has now finished to start school in September. The setting is wonderful, so many opportunities for the children to play, explore and learn and the staff are simply the best, loving, kind, caring, supportive and fun! Whilst my son

was going through an autism assessment the team helped in every way they could, I knew I could go to them for any advice and questions. They supported us in the EHCP process, putting in place everything my son needed to achieve his full potential. He started the nursery a shy, timid little boy who was non verbal and he's left a happy, content, outgoing little boy who doesn't stop talking. I couldn't thank the whole team enough for everything they have done for us. They gave my son the best start to his education and now he's ready to start school. We'll miss them all.

Overall Experience

My son attended the Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School at Stanbridge setting for 2 years and starts school this September. The staff are all lovely and very approachable. I feel like they knew my child as an individual and his key worker would sometimes tailor activities/play to support his personal

development needs. I am happy with the care and education he received during his time at Mama Bear's Day Nursery and Pre-School and I'm confident he will be ready for his next steps.

My child loves attending Mama Bears Stanbridge. Her confidence in herself and understanding of the world has improved so much since starting only earlier this year. All of the carers have been very friendly and the communication on the app is updated daily. Thank you to the manager and her team!

We have been so happy with the manager and her team. Our two children love it here and have so much fun. The staff are really invested in the children and care about them so much. They do a fantastic range of activities that have been brilliant for my children’s development. They’ve also been really

helpful with potty training my son. Their communication with parents is brilliant and we’re kept updated on what they’ve been doing and what they’ve eaten with the parent app. The food they’re given is great too with plenty of variety and lots of healthy but also child-friendly options. Couldn’t rate them highly enough!

I highly recommend Bright Sparks, Stanbridge setting! The staff have been amazing with my little boy, he was diagnosed with autism earlier this year and was awaiting an EHCP so he could receive support in primary school. Bright Sparks were happy to have my little boy for even longer than usual while

we awaited this. They have helped my son greatly the last couple of years and all of the support he now has at his new school is all down there help! We will miss them so much.

Overall Experience

We moved my son early this year from a pre-school where we didn’t find the experience positive for my son and I’m so glad we moved. Positive attitudes from every staff member, an encouraging environment, smiles. From the moment my son arrived the time has been taken to get to know him and engage with

his interests and get the best out of him on his terms. From worrying about him starting school in September as one of the youngest, I now feel confident he has had the lead in he needed. He now comes home with lots of positive things to say, stories to tell and even songs to sing to me! Whenever someone in our community asks for opinions on local pre-schools I point them in the direction of Bright Sparks, I only have praise for them. Thank you!

I have nothing but praise for Bright Sparks. Two of my sons have attended this setting, I’ve always been more than happy.
My youngest son always runs in, happy and excited to be there and is sad the mornings he doesn’t get to go (says it all really!).
My son has progressed so much in the last few

months and is all set ready to start school in September.
The staff are amazing, so friendly and approachable, there is also great communication between home and pre school. I would highly recommend Bright Sparks.
