Nuffy Nursery is the best nursery for my child and has been an absolute blessing. From the caring staff to the stimulating environment, my child has thrived and is absolutely thriving. I could not be happier with the level of care. The staff truly go above and beyond to ensure every child is happy,
engaged, and making progress. It warms my heart to see how much my daughter loves going to nursery every day. I am so grateful for the amazing experience they are having and would highly recommend this nursery to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their little one. Thank you so much to everyone there!

Our daughters attended this nursery 8 years ago and both of them loved it. We now have a 2 year old and I was keen to see if Nuffy Bear was still as amazing. The short answer is yes! Yes, it is just as amazing, if not even better with the newer equipment they have. To my delight, many of the same staff
were still at the nursery (which seems to be quite rare in nurseries).
When we walked in it still had the same warm welcome and all the children looked so happy. Our son settled in very quickly and absolutely loves it. He loves all of the staff and talks about them at home with great fondness. He is happy to stroll right in every time we drop him off and join in with whatever is going on. The staff are so friendly, experienced and clearly know each child well. The outdoor space is also perfect with lots of room for all kinds of play. We really like that they have a forest school and swimming lessons. Our son is thriving! Can't recommend this nursery more!

My son came here in 2018 until 2019, full days, five days a week, just before he started reception at school and my daughter is currently attending since 2023, full days, five days a week, she is 1 year old. I wouldn't dream of sending my children to any other nursery other than this one. This nursery
has the best parent-staff communication throughout the day. Best handovers at the end of the day. Healthy food for kids, the babies and kids learn amazing skills and I really feel the level of care provided is so amazing, I do not worry that my child is not being looked after, she is so excited to go to nursery every day and she learns new skills from nursery. My son was struggling with eating and his speech, by the time he left nursery here he was eating all foods and talking away. So grateful for all of the staff at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery and all of the hard work they all put in to keep our children safe and excelling. Thank you so much.

My little boy started at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery in July 2023 and has loved every minute of his time there. The care and support from all the staff made my returning to work a lot easier, as I knew from the settling-in days that he would be well taken care of. The staff are so caring and provide regular
updates regarding his development via their app and also at pick-up time. I'm so glad I chose Nuffy as it is such a welcoming nursery where all the staff are so kind and helpful.

My daughter has been at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Stoke Poges for a few years now and we have no bad words to say! The staff here have been outstanding with communication to us, as parents, and with my child. Having the Nuffy Bear app, I’m able to see daily what my child gets up to and how quick she is
progressing. I strongly recommend this nursery to anyone who is a first-time mum! The support is there when needed and makes life very easy knowing your child is in good hands. Well done to all the team here, keep up the good work.

The best nursery I had visited when looking for a nursery. All the staff made me feel welcome and reassured me that they will be able to accommodate for my daughter with additional needs. My daughter started Nuffy Bear when she was not able to walk, talk, eat or go to the toilet. She left this year
doing all of the above. Without them I feel I would have really struggled giving my daughter the support she needed. They applied for her EHCP and followed through until we had it in place in time for school. All of the lovely ladies became my daughters’ secondary mothers. I knew I could go to them with anything, be it advise for my personal life or more of a professional opinion. All are very experienced in their roles and you can see that caring for children is their passion. We were very sad to leave, but I always take my precious back to say hello now and then. What a delightful setting, would recommend to every parent who are looking for a setting whom they can trust with closed eyes.

I cannot recommend this nursery enough! My child has suspected additional needs, and the knowledge, support and care I received from all of the team has been outstanding. The team dealt with the concerns I have had with my child's development sensitively and quickly, and my child is making great progress
now. I have face-to-face feedback every time my child attends nursery, and I can check the app for their food/sleep/nappies as it is updated regularly. My child is also a very fussy eater and is always supported and given options whilst still introducing new foods and textures. I recommend this nursery to anyone looking for a fun and caring place for their child to thrive.

My daughter started Nuffy Bear in October 2022 and has really flourished as an individual and with her peers.
The staff are the superstars - I know that safeguarding and care is their top priority, and it gives me a huge sense of comfort and relief knowing my child is safe and happy every day whilst
she is at the nursery.
Facilities are great - food is cooked on site and of high quality and variety.
Weekly swimming lessons are offered as part of the EYFS learning.
The location is ideal and offers plenty of car parking.
Communication is strong between families and staff - either face to face during pick up/drop off or the fantastic app.
In addition, monthly newsletters are emailed to parents.
I highly recommend Nuffy Bear Stoke Poges.

Positives:
- Good at dealing with children with allergies
- Do make changes to the days your child attends, if there is availability, sooner than later


Negatives:
- My child and peers came home with a number of accidents, this was the most concerning.
- Children come home with bark and soil

in nappies and paint on their hands and sometimes in their hair.
- Feedback is not taken well or with an open mind. Immediate reaction was (in most cases) to deflect.
- Children often sent home with soiled nappies or snotty noses.
- Errors in invoices. Suggest these are reviewed before you make payment.
- Not great at dealing the children who need additional needs or are a little quieter.
- Not very willing to communicate as much verbally since the introduction of the App.


Compared to other nurseries attended, I sadly would not recommend this nursery, unless your child is very independent and can communicate what happens in the nursery when they return home.

Nuffy Bear, excellent nursery! The entire staff are incredibly caring, supportive and welcoming. Both of my children attended this nursery and absolutely adored it. We can't express our gratitude enough for the care they received from morning till evening while we were at work. Initially, my daughter
attended this nursery and recently my son followed suit. Even though they're both in school now, they still remember their nursery teachers and frequently talk about the wonderful times they had at Nuffy Bear. I can't emphasise how positive our experience with the nursery has been.

My son absolutely loves the nursery! The staff have built his confidence, encouraged his learning and also encouraged him to develop his personality. When I drop him off in the morning I know he will be taken care of just as well as I would at home and that is so important. He goes in happy every day
and always has a smile on his face at pick up time. The staff not only support my son's learning but also my own as a first time parent. If I have any questions regarding care for him when he is poorly or ways to encourage him to develop at home (ie fussy eating), the staff are always on hand to help. The one improvement I would suggest for the nursery would be more regular updates via the app regarding activities/learning done during the day as these can be fairly sporadic, however internet problems have contributed to this a fair few times which is out of the nursery’s hands. The nursery is fantastic and I can’t wait to send my second child there!

My son has been attending Nuffy Bear Nursery for nearly a year now. I can’t express enough how much I appreciate the ongoing support I receive from the great staff of this nursery. My son is my first child and I was very nervous about leaving him at nursery, however, the staff have constantly kept me
involved and helped me to settle my son into the nursery. He eats very well and his speech has developed so much. I researched many nurseries before choosing this one and I can’t make any complaints. All the staff are professional and very organised. They communicate with each other effectively which gives me a lot of assurance about my son's well-being when he’s there. My son also has allergies and eczema, which with no doubt the amazing staff have helped with this as well. They have gone above and beyond and I can only hope I find a school as great!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Stoke Poges is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.765 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Stoke Poges is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.765

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Stoke Poges is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 67 number of registered child places is 13.4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
