Nuffy Bear Day Nursery has been welcoming from the start, asking for feedback and encourage parents to give constructive feedback.
They have proven to be quite verbal to the development of young daughter and have attended to our needs where possible.

The staff are always friendly and caring towards the children; I personally feel my son is treated like he is one of their own. The nursery is like a home from home for the children attending; there are plenty of fun and educational resources for them to use, and they are encouraged to explore new things.
I am particularly impressed with the recent change in menu, the food on offer provides a wide range of variety, as well as a well-balanced diet. The food on offer also encourages children to try new things. I would highly recommend this nursery to new parents, you can be assured when you can't be with your children they are being well looked after.

My daughter has attended this nursery for 4 months now and both me and my partner can see a huge difference in our daughters learning abilities. We are both so pleased that we chose Nuffy Bear (Stoke Poges). The staff are so welcoming to our daughter in the mornings and she is so happy and looks forward
every day to attend nursery. The staff here have helped with widening her food palette, understanding how to share and better her communication skills. As a parent, I am extremely satisfied and I couldn't ask for any more for my daughter's wellbeing.

My son joined Nuffy Bear in Stoke Poges 8 months ago and settled in very well in a short period of time. The staff, including management, are amazing, everyone is very friendly and helpful. I am kept well informed of my son's progress and get really good updates of his day when I pick him up every day.
The nursery is very accommodating when I require additional sessions at a short notice, they are always very helpful.
My son loves going in, we never have tears in the morning which gives me peace of mind that he is happy there and well looked after.
The nursery also has a holiday club for older children which my eldest attends and really enjoys.
I'm really impressed with the facilities on site and the nursery does have plenty to offer. I'm glad I chose Nuffy Bear and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality childcare.

Fantastic nursery. My youngest daughter now attends here in the piglets room and I honestly couldn't ask for better for her. Staff are fantastic even with any health issues I have had with her. Staff have been there and been very supporting helping in whichever way they can. There is a variety of different
activities set out for the children to get involved in all day and there is always a thorough breakdown of what your child has got up to during the day. My daughter loves attending this nursery, I trust them with my children one million percent and always know she is going to have a great day. This is my second child to attend this nursery and I would never use another. I recommend to anyone looking for a safe, fun environment for your child.

Can't recommend this nursery highly enough! They have been wonderful with my 2 year old boy (who has developmental delay and is non-verbal), and he is very happy to see the nursery and the staff, and very cheerful when he comes back home. Management are present and very involved/warm with the children.
They have been friendly and flexible in interacting with us as parents and have done their best to be accomodating of requests and additional sessions.
Very good nursery. Lovely staff. Happy child. Happy parents!

My son has been at Nuffy Bear since August and absolutely loves it. He was 12 months old when we started, still fully breastfed, rocked to sleep and wasn't fond of eating so I was worried about the transition. However the staff have been truly amazing and have met all his needs with care and compassion.
When I drop him off he runs off to play and even sleeps in a cot and all with no tears. All through the settling in period I could call up and see how he was doing which really can give piece of mind and comfort. I couldn't be happier with Nuffy Bear and the development my son has made. Thank you so much.

My 3yr old daughter has flourished since attending Nuffy Bear last term. We could not believe how confident, happy and outgoing she had become. She adores the messy play, playing with her new friends and visiting the chickens in one of the outdoor spaces! Highly recommend the quality care and individual
support my daughter has received.

My daughter has gone through the nursery since she was 2 years old she is now 10 years old and still comes to the holiday camp which they provide in the holidays which supports my childcare.
The staff are always happy and make you feel welcome and are always supportive to my daughters needs.
The holiday
camp is excellent with the swimming lessons as a bonus and the weekly trips provide a variety of learning skills aspects such as golf and farm to fork in Tesco.
My daughter absolutely loves the camp and would highly recommend the nursery and the camp.

My child really enjoys going to nursery. I feel she is well cared for and has made lots of progress.
I am well informed about how my child has 'got on' during the day.
The regular emails from the nursery also help with communication.

My daughter has been attending the nursery for almost a year now and she has a great time. Staff are caring and capable and I know she's well looked after. Her personal development is well considered. I would like to see a little more order and focus to the day but there is so much to stimulate and
bring the children on that this is a minor concern.

My daughter has been attending this nursery since Oct 2014 and has loved her time at this nursery. The staff are so lovely and so caring towards all the children. I have been in at different times unannounced to collect my child and have always been greeted by a friendly member of staff and have always
seen the children happily engaging in activities. I am so glad I chose this nursery for my child and would recommend it to parents.

My daughter has attended Nuffy Bear Day Nursery since she was 10 months old and is now 3. She thoroughly enjoys it especially the mud kitchen and forest school. She has exceeded in her development and boasting with confidence due to the support and care from the nursery team whom she is very close with.
The staff have been extremely supportive through potty training and even through making sure she eats as she's not a good eater.
The staff are very attentive and supportive.
Would definitely recommend this nursery.

This nursery has ticked every box possibly so far...
I work on a rota and found that most of the nurseries in this area were not flexible at all, but Nuffield are extremely flexible. I've added sessions on in short notice and extended sessions too.
The nursery staff are professional, very friendly
and approachable.
I also have every faith that if I'm worried about anything the staff will do everything possible to work with me to resolve any issues.
My daughter loves it!!

She is happy and content within the nursery and she is flourishing in her learning as well as her swimming lessons (which the nursery provides). The staff are attentive to her needs and she adores them all and they are always happy to help and
have been a great support.

All 3 of my children have attended Nuffy Bear Nursery over a period of 9 years.


The consistency and retention of staff is extremely high, my 1 year old is currently looked after by the same lovely lady as my 9 year old was when he was 1!


The leadership team and room leaders have also been at the

nursery during this time, which gives me a sense of complete trust in the care given.


The facilities have changed and continually improved during this time and my children have had a very varied exposure to all sorts of learning and creativity. It is a fun environment and all settled very quickly.


Swimming is included from age 3 and the weekly lessons are a great benefit and life skill for children.


I would thoroughly recommend the nursery.

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.
