Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Taunton) is a purpose-built setting with rooms that are tailored and resourced for the practice of pre-school learning. Three main age groups reflect the different stages of development, which themselves are enhanced by a large outdoor play area.

Sound pre-school education is assisted by good health and nutrition, with a fresh and seasonal menu produced by an experienced nursery cook. Though independently run, the nursery has strong links with the local college, including with many students who are parents.

Dedicated staff who obviously take great pride in what they do. As a result my daughter has always enjoyed coming to Mama Bear's and has really thrived here. The activities show great variety, the food is good, and she has always felt very welcome and safe. Well done!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.772) out of 10 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Taunton) 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.800 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Taunton) is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.8

  • 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 3.972 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Taunton) is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 53 number of registered child places is 10.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.6 = 0.472

  • 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.
