Since our little one joined this nursery he has come on leaps and bounds. He's happy to attend and even on his days off he's asking if he's going to nursery. The staff are brilliant, keep you up to date with the days progress and they contact you via email (my preference) about upcoming events and news
updates. They have been incredible during the pandemic and I'm glad we found Nuffield. Definitely recommend to anyone.

My son has attended the nursery since March, just after his 2nd birthday. I cannot believe how much he has developed in just a few months, he is happier, more confident, and comes home singing new songs and talking about his day with the staff. I have had all of my expectations of a nursery exceeded
- the staff have been wonderful - providing support during the lockdown and enabling me to carry out my role as a key worker. The manager is an excellent role model, and the staff a pleasure to deal with. I feel incredibly lucky to have found such a safe, nurturing and positive place for my child to attend.

My little boy started this nursery at 8 months old however I signed him up at 6 weeks old after a tour where the manager showed him around as if he could understand what was going on; since starting he has come on leaps and bounds in his development and I am kept fully up to date with his progress.
All members of staff are amazing and I have no doubts that at the end of the day he will come home knackered after an action-packed day! The room leader and his key worker also take an interest in what he likes and how he is at home to try and get him to do other things in nursery; we have also had the opportunity to spend the weekend with Nuffy Bear and attend a teddy bears picnic. I would highly recommend this nursery and I feel like as a parent I am kept up to date with things happening in nursery in general as well as specific to my child. I can't wait to see my boy develop even further under their care whilst I am working.

My daughter goes to Nuffy Bear Day Nursery in cottingley and I couldn’t be happier the staff are lovely and she has settled in fantastically. Sending your child to nursery isn’t the easiest decision but knowing you’ve chosen a good one makes it a lot easier. My daughter enjoys going which makes going
to work that but easier knowing she’s happy and in safe hands.

I put my eldest daughter in the care of the nursery and haven't hesitated to bring the twins. The team treat the girls as individuals and recognise their personalities and differing needs. They are going from strength to strength under the brilliant care here.

My son loves all the staff at the nursery and made excellent bonds with them quickly after starting there. The staff always make time for conversation at drop off and pick up so I know how he's getting on, which is very reassuring. I am so pleased with the care he receives and couldn't wish for a better
environment for him.

I have found the nursery to be friendly and welcoming. The staff are wonderful with the children and my son has flourished during his time here. His confidence has grown and his ability to make friends is evident in his experiences in life. I would highly recommend the facility and will be sorry to
leave for school in September.

My son has been attending for just over a year, starting in the baby room at 11 months. I feel comfortable with the induction and settling in days. I love reading the records re: my son - very detailed. The meals are healthy and exciting and varied. My son has developed great relationships with all
staff and other children too. He has developed rapidly thanks to Nuffy Bear Day Nursery. Only thing I would prefer is better technology ie app with updates/FB page with pics. However, very happy and would recommend.

My child loves coming to Nuffy Bear, he has been attending for a year now. The staff have supported us through a very difficult year and I couldn't ask for better people to be responsible for the care of my child. He has progressed so well since starting and can feed himself and starting to talk in
sentences and not even two yet.
The best decision I ever made was choosing Nuffy Bear.

My daughter has been going to Nuffy Bear Nursery since she was 9 months old, she is now nearly 2. She loves going, she runs in and is happy to see everybody. The staff are very caring and supportive. My daughter has recently moved up into the next room and the transition has been very smooth. I have
one happy little girl. Thank you!

A really welcoming and stimulating environment for my daughter to learn in. I have been more than happy with the care and attention she has been given during her time here. It is always hard to leave your child in somebody else's care but I have never felt worried about leaving her and my daughter is
always happy and excited to see her 'friends'.

The nursery has recently been taken over by Nuffield itself. As a result, there has been a complete refurbishment of all nursery rooms. This has provided a brighter and more open environment for the children. Nuffield are introducing a focus on children's physical development with their new learning/development
planning and offering sessions such as swimming lessons to pre-schoolers or baby yoga as part of their weekly activity programme, which is great. I believe they are also offering free gym membership to parents of full-time children, which is an added bonus. The environment is stimulating, with continued improvements. Staff have been flexible and accommodating. There is a new focus on providing more nutritional meals (with the input of a dietician). My daughter enjoys attending and receives enough stimulation and learning/development opportunities to keep her engaged and busy. Overall, a promising nursery which is still implementing changes and improvements with the Nuffield takeover.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) out of 10 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Cottingley is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.864 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Cottingley is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 264 Ratings = 4.864

  • 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 Cottingley is based on 22 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 57 number of registered child places is 11.4, which has been reached with 22 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.

Job Title: Nursery Manager

Joined: 2004

I have worked in Early Years for the past 18 years. Growing up I always knew that I wanted to work with young people. So when I left school I knew exactly which path I wanted to take. I qualified as a Level 3 practitioner, I found work here in Cottingley and I've been here ever since. I have always been passionate about supporting babies and young children with their learning and developing, paying particular attention to patterns in behaviour and for what each child needs individually to thrive. I love watching the children in our care grow and being a part of that support network for their families.
18 years I have worked at Nuffy Bear previously known as Cottingley Manor and I have enjoyed every minute.
As I progressed through my career I knew that I wanted to share that knowledge I have gained during that time with other practitioners so that together we can achieve great outcomes for all children.
