I honestly couldn’t recommend or rate Bright Sparks Day Nursery any higher than I already do. My daughter has been going here for years and the staff are so unbelievably lovely. She always has a brilliant time and I feel completely comforted knowing she is in the best hands.

I moved my daughter from a previous Pre-School setting which she had been at for two years. I had found that she was not learning anything new and her speech was very, very delayed. After much consideration I decided to move her and looked at Bright Sparks Day Nursery and Pre-School at Stanbridge in
Summer 2020. Straight away I just knew it was the right place for her. Everything ticked the boxes of what I was looking for, for her and her needs. Ever since she has attended this setting in September 2020 she has come on leaps and bounds. I am incredibly proud of her and the setting for always showing her she can do it! Her speech has come on amazingly and her confidence is growing. Her key worker is fanatic with her, as are every other member of staff. They really have her best interest at heart and that’s what any parent wants from a setting. My only regret is that I wished I had moved her sooner to Bright Sparks Day Nursery and Pre-School at Stanbridge.

After viewing several nurseries, I finally settled on here for my son. Best decision I made. He loves it and the staff are amazing, very helpful and informed. A great mix of indoor and outdoor activities in a secure educational environment. My son loves it here and settled in quickly, he enjoys going
in on his set days during term time. I would highly recommend to fellow parents.

Excellent nursery, lovely staff and very well run. My little girl currently attends and has a great rapport with the staff. My son also attended the setting pre starting school and also loved it. My son has additional learning needs which were all catered for too and he really thrived there.

Where to begin... I literally can not praise the staff of this establishment enough! We came to them at a very difficult time, and yet with virtually no notice they welcomed our son with open arms and transitioned him beautifully. I have observed that they are kind but firm, which is what he has needed!
He is and has been very very happy at Bright Sparks, despite the very rushed and un-planned starting due to circumstances beyond our control! He always comes home so happy with such lovely crafts and he has come on immensely during his time there both developmentally and emotionally. Words will never be able to explain my sheer gratitude for them being there for us in our childcare crisis and nurturing him so much and helping him to grow. I would highly recommend as they have gone above and beyond for us!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.834)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.834) out of 10 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery at Downend Bristol 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 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 4.792 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery at Downend Bristol is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.792

  • 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 4.042 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mama Bear's Day Nursery at Downend Bristol is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 30 number of registered child places is 6. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.667

  • 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.
