My daughter settled into nursery so well. All the staff are extremely caring and helpful. The activities she takes part in are really engaging and she’s always bringing home pictures and things she has made. I receive updates daily on her progress and learning. I’m really impressed.

Since my son started attending nursery, he has become a different person, personality-wise, and it’s incredible. The nursery has taught him so much, and he’s such a people person now! Thank you so much to all the staff here. You’ve changed our lives!

Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Crews Hole) are a very inclusive and friendly nursery. My child (and his older sister) have been well supported and looked after during their time there. My son is very sad to be leaving his friends and keyworkers behind this month. The staff really take the time to get to know
the children and their families. I have heard some lovely nursery tales at collection time which I think reflects how much the staff enjoy being with the children. A lovely friendly bunch of people, we will all miss them.

Both my children have been to this nursery and all staff have been amazing. My youngest started at 10 months old and I did worry as leaving him at a young age but the staff were amazing sending me pictures and videos every week. Both my boys loved it here and become close to certain members of staff.
My youngest has now had his last day there and we will miss it very much thanks Mama Bear's for being part of their lives.

My son started at this nursery in August 2016 when he was 15 months, they have been amazing from start to finish, so good at settling him in as he was very clingy, all the staff are just fab, so kind, patient and caring. My son has been so happy there and made lots of friends. He does such a variety
of stimulating activities, inside and outside, and in such a relaxed, happy positive environment. When he didn’t get his 1st choice of school the staff were so supportive and helpful and when we had a tragedy in our family, again all the staff were so understanding and caring. Honestly, love this nursery so much and will be so sad to say goodbye in August, but they have done all they can to prepare my son for “big school” and I’m so grateful for that. Thank you.

Mama Bear's have played such a vital role in both of my son's development in early years ed. We have been attending Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Crews Hole) 6 years. My eldest joined at 16months old and youngest 12months. They’ve both experienced each stage room and have both been led through each stage
without a hitch.
Every member of staff greets us with a smile and they all clearly genuinely enjoy their roles.
Staff turnover is v low, meaning the children are settled, also highlighting the excellent working environment and team.
If either son expressed an interest in a certain topic, this would become part of a group task for all to learn more about e.g. Trains.
I have entrusted my sons into their care for the last 6 years and would continue to do so for many more if I could. We will all truly miss each and every staff member at Mama Bear's. I can’t thank them enough for encouraging both my son's learning and social skills. Both were/are more than ready for school life, much owed to the team.

My 3 children have attended this nursery over the last 5years. Myself and my children have built very stable and amazing relationships with the staff members over this time period. When my daughter leaves this August to start primary school we will all sadly miss the nursery and staff. They have been
amazing to myself and my children especially in dark personal periods. When my youngest gets older he will also attend this nursery.

My daughter started nursery at the beginning of 2018. I am very happy with my child’s development. She is more confident, she learned so many new things. I can see on her face that she is happy and that is the most important thing to me. She enjoys going to the nursery! Fantastic friendly staff, they
are doing a wonderful job! Very clean, beautiful garden, lovely food.

Mama Bears Crews Hole is an absolutely fantastic nursery. My daughter started in the preschool room and my son has gone all the way through from the baby room right through to leaving for school!
It is a brilliant place in a great setting with the loveliest staff.
I have only the best things to say
about this lovely nursery and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a nursery for their little ones.

My daughter loves attending this nursery and I know that she is in safe hands when she is there. All the staff are lovely and greet us warmly whenever we arrive. There are lots of toys for the babies/children to play with and the activities they do are great.
I really love receiving updates about
what my daughter has been up to via the eylog and appreciate the feedback form about what she has eaten, how long she has napped etc at the end of the day. We couldn't have picked a better nursery.

My daughter has been going to Mama Bears for over 2 years and she has excelled in every area. The staff there are educated, kind, friendly and always know the best way to handle
Each child’s different needs. I continue to be thoroughly impressed with every member of both staff and management at the
nursery and would recommend the setting to anyone. I cannot thank each and every member of staff for the help and care they give my daughter on a daily basis and I will be sending my youngest daughter there too from January 2019.

The staff are friendly and welcoming at Mama bears Crews Hole Road, my son is so clearly happy there and feels safe. It's very easy to approach staff and you always get a good update about little ones day on pick up.
The rooms are open plan but always have different activities set out with a member
of staff available to guide their learning through play. The preschool room has direct access to an amazing outdoor playroom with trikes, sand/water play, large woven branch teepee and floor bridge, always looks like great fun for the little ones

I am very happy with Mama Bears Crews Hole, the staff are lovely and always so warm with me and my child. He loves it there and has learned so much through play, exploration and song. His day is so full, he eats well and has a mammoth sleep what else could you ask for? The garden is a beautiful feature
and I like the open plan layout for visibility of the children. The fees are a little higher than some other nurseries but the quality of the facilities, the staff and their care and the food served is excellent.
I had been to see other nurseries in my area and wasn't impressed. The moment I walked into crews Hole I knew it was the right place for my child and for my families needs.

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.
