I have been happy with Mama Bear's Day Nursery. The staff are all fantastic and friendly making sure to give you lots of updates. The apps they use to provide learning and daily diary updates are brilliant. I always know how my child is getting on. The nursery is so approachable and I know I am always
heard when it comes to my child's needs. The children get lots of time outside which is great for my child. The garden is enclosed so I know they are safe. I would highly recommend Mama Bears.

My son is 1 year old and has been going to this nursery for a month now and already I have noticed a change in him and a very positive change at that. Before going he was almost at the walking stage and after 2 days there with other children socialising he’s nonstop walking and is a lot more playful.
The staff care for the children and you can see the connection they have with them. I can’t recommend them enough.

Our experience with Mama Bears Crews Hole has been excellent to date. Our daughter settled in so well over a graded period of a few days. Her speech, mobility, social skills and personality have developed so quickly and in ways that we couldn’t have imagined. She is so happy to go to nursery every day
and talks about all of the members of staff when she’s at home, even the ones who don’t look after her directly!
All of the staff are so friendly and welcoming and really make you feel like your child is in safe hands and in a place where they can thrive. They give the children so many opportunities to play and discover new things, and everything they do helps to work towards development goals individual to each child.
The nursery also uses a great app so you can see what your child is eating, nappy changes, sleep times and also photos/videos of their day so you can really feel involved and create a transition from home to nursery and vice versa. I 100% recommend it!

I could not rate this nursery more highly. Both of my children have attended, my youngest is still there. They have helped tremendously to instil good manners in children! They are always planning new and exciting themes to entertain the kids. They are incredibly accommodating, personally, I used cloth
nappies and potty trained my kids at 2, and they had no issues helping with this. There was a period when staff shortages nationally meant our youngest attended other nurseries, it was at this point I realised how lucky we are at Crews Hole. They helped my eldest with her transition to school being incredibly accommodating for the settling-in period. My son has some food intolerances and they have no issues accommodating this. Both of my children loved the practitioners, I honestly could not speak highly enough about this nursery. Both my children started in the baby room and I will be very sad when my youngest has to leave.

Mama Bear's Crew Hole is a wonderful setting to have your children in. Both our kids have passed through the nursery and both have left happy and fulfilled every time they've been. When our daughter started she was very nervous but the staff were brilliant and helped her settle in really well, making
a huge fuss of her whenever she arrived and distracting her with activities/snacks/cuddles when it was time for us to leave!
Our Son left a few years back but he's always welcomed into the setting whenever he comes on the pick-up run and they show a genuine interest in how he's progressing through school. The food is always great and we only wish we could get the kids to eat as much of our food as they do for the chef.
The manager is great, receives all of our chopping and changing with a smile and always tries her best to accommodate any requests we make.
Can't recommend them enough!

Our little boy loves coming to nursery, he has a very close group of friends who he talks about all the time. He really likes all of the key workers/practitioners and he enjoys telling us about what everyone has been doing. He especially enjoyed a trip out along the river, birdwatching with binoculars.

Our daughter has recently left Mama Bear's, after attending since she was 1 year old. We cannot fault Mama Bear's - Crews Hole. The staff especially have always been so kind and caring towards our family from the beginning. Daily updates are sent on the app, and thorough handovers are given every day.
Fun activities and outdoor time are offered. Our daughter appeared to enjoy her time at nursery. We would highly recommend. Thank you Mama Bear's!

I couldn't recommend the nursery and staff enough. My son is learning and developing so well during his time here. The staff are always so friendly and have already created great relationships with my son.
We get updates and pictures throughout the day and are always informed of any changes or issues
very quickly. The management team have always been so helpful with any changes that we have needed to make and have always tried to accommodate any of these if we needed.

My son loves going to nursery and is always happy going in and being picked up. From speaking to the staff you can tell that they really care about him and his well-being, which is greatly appreciated. We get daily updates about everything he has been doing and it's always useful to know how his day
has gone, whether he has eaten lots and how long his naps were. We love seeing the pictures of him doing all the activities. Due to Covid-19 and restrictions, I have only been in the nursery on one occasion. From memory they have great facilities available for the children and it's clean and well maintained, only going in once is the only reason why I have put good.

Mama Bear's Day Nursery is fantastic and they have very professional staff. I would recommend the nursery to all my friends and family. My son goes there who has some difficulties with learning. Mama Bear's staff have shown great professionalism and supported my child with all the support they could
provide, this includes making his personal development plan, referring us to professionals who could support him further as well as encouraging our child on daily basis. The work and commitment they have shown is great. No one can question their commitment to the cause. Thank you.

Mama Bears Crews Hole is an awesome nursery. The team are always friendly, energetic and super engaged with the kids and really helpful with any queries you might have. Our little boy's development has been amazing since he joined at 12 months (now pre-school). He has a great group of friends. Loves
the practitioners and always comes home happy. When he moves onto school we will all be very sad as the team feel like part of a wider family than the staff at a nursery.

My child has been attending Mama Bear's Crews Day Nursery (Crews Hole) for just over a year now and he absolutely loves it. The staff are amazing, always there if you have any queries and my child really enjoys being with them and the other children, he has made many friends and looks forward to going
each time. Just over a year ago, when I was looking for a nursery for my child, I went with my gut feeling with this nursery out of the rest I viewed and I’m so pleased I did, I can’t recommend the nursery enough.

The quality of childcare my children receive at Mama Bear's Day Nursery Crews Hole is outstanding. The staff are knowledgeable, caring, genuine and show a great passion for what they do. They make great efforts to have the children outside in the garden as much as the weather allows. They provide a
range of fun, engaging activities for the children and keep parents up to date on the children's progress in line with the Early Years framework via the Parent Zone app. It is a fantastic nursery due to such a quality team working there!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Crews Hole 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.839 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Crews Hole is calculated as follows: ( (276 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.839

  • 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 Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Crews Hole is based on 27 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 68 number of registered child places is 13.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
