Really love this nursery and so does my 18-month-old! The staff are so lovely and have really helped to settle my son in and reassure me if he was upset at drop off.
The app is great and I get updated with how much food he has eaten. The nursery has just been given a make over and looks great.
The
staff are really what makes a place and they are all welcoming and approachable, the manager is also really helpful and friendly.

The staff are all lovely and friendly. Our daughter has been there since she was 9 months old and has thrived in the environment provided by the nursery and always happy when dropped off/picked up. She has bonded really well with all of her carers at the nursery. Would happily recommend to any other
parents.

All three of my children have attended this nursery over the years and have always had such a positive experience! The staff here are very welcoming to children and carers and have great communication with carers.
When my youngest son first started here, his confidence and speech weren't too great
and now, he's developed great communication skills and his confidence has bloomed and has bonded well with staff and made many friends.

Amazing staff and they just had a refurbishment as well. My kid loves going to nursery and has bonded so well with the carers. They do plenty of arts and crafts and they go outdoors every time it is possible which is great.
The food is good and always a balanced meal. We are really happy with the
management.

The staff are lovely, friendly and very welcoming. My son is happily settled and content which you could not ask for more from a nursery.
Both of my sons have and do attend Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Coronation Road-Downend) it is absolutely brilliant I could not recommend it enough. My son who no
longer attends the nursery started at 11 months old until he left to go to school he came on leaps and bounds, the nursery would take any concern seriously and deal with any problems correctly and professionally.
The only issue I have is they are having staffing issues at the moment but I do believe they are trying to sort this issue soon as possible.

We are so happy with Mama Bear's, Coronation Road. Our son started in October and the team were so amazing with helping him get settled now he is really coming into his own and has such a lovely time when there.
The communication from the staff throughout the day is amazing, the app is so useful and
the variation of meals he eats there is great.
Leaving your child for a full day with people you don't know was super daunting for me but now I know he's having a great time with lovely people and being well looked after.

I have had such a positive experience with this nursery. It has a warm, supportive and family feel to the environment and the care the staff offer. The communication is highly positive, they regularly update me on what my son is doing and eating, and how much. They show genuine care for my sons development
and have been supportive with advice to support what we can be doing at home. They have also been doing 1:1 sessions to support his speech development which I really appreciate. The activities I see them do are lovely and creative. I'm so happy with this nursery.

We have been very happy with the level of care and attention provided to our daughter since her start at nursery back in 2020. It was a challenging start for her but they have always been very supportive and taken the time to speak with me on the phone after drop-off and provide feedback and reassurance
where necessary. I sometimes felt a bit guilty for calling as no doubt they were busy, but time was always given to me whenever needed.
She has an excellent Keyworker, we couldn't have asked for anyone better and I always know she's in good hands with her. She is an absolute credit to the nursery and will no doubt have an excellent career there.

We as a family have trusted Mama Bear's, Coronation Road based on the staff's professionalism and caring attitude towards our 2 years old son. Our son has especially bonded with a few staff members but all staff members are very diligent and to be trusted with their abilities. The on-ground well-being
of son is a clear priority of the nursery staff and they offer a range of playing tools and nurture our son to be socially developed to be friends with other kids.
We have already spread the word out, about their care, services, and exceptional communication mechanism, and we will continue to do so.
I believe it is our son’s first formal institute where he is continuing to develop the skills he will bank on in future to become a better human.
5-star for a few staff members.

Amazing nursery, I highly recommend!
My Daughter has attended this nursery since she was 8 months old and will be leaving next month.
She has always enjoyed going to Mama Bears, loves the staff and feels safe and nurtured.
The food they provide is varied and healthy.
Staff are understanding, caring
and provide any support I have asked for.
We will miss Mama Bears nursery but want to thank them for looking after my Daughter so well!

Both of my children attend Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Coronation Road-Downend), and they are both extremely happy there.
The setting is very inviting, and the staff are all friendly, caring and supportive to both the children and families.
My eldest has additional learning needs, and this has been dealt
with care and compassion from all staff and, in particular, his key worker, who he loves.
I would recommend this setting to anyone.

My son has been attending this nursery for 2 years now and he has come on so much since he has been here he is such an outgoing child from being at nursery and learning new skills. Always had good bonds with all staff, they are all so caring and understanding of my son. My daughter now attends the nursery,
they have made her come out in herself she was born just before lockdown so hasn't really had much communication with other people and didn't like to be left without me she has come so far and now really loves to go to nursery she always wants to go to nursery and learn new things and make new friends Mama Bear's Day Nursery have really helped her to do this. All the staff are very easy to talk to about any worries I have (not had any regarding the setting) they are always welcoming. Always keep me updated through the day on the app and if they have any worries or concerns they phone me straight away. My son will be very sad to be leaving the nursery in September to go to primary school.

Our daughter has been attending this nursery 3 days a week since February this year and has settled in really well.
The staff are really caring and considerate and my daughter has become very fond of everyone that looks after her.
The online app is updated every day, quite frequently with photos and
videos so it’s lovely to see so easily what she’s been up to and what she’s been eating through the day (lots of healthy options).
Activities are varied through the week and there seems to be plenty of outdoor play which is important to us. We can see the progress in our daughter's development over the last few months in many different areas.
The management of the place is brilliant, very professional and any queries I’ve had have been addressed quickly.
The parking is fairly limited which means drop off and pick up can be quite busy but all the parents are really mindful of this and it’s never been an issue for us.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.040)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.040) out of 10 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Downend (Coronation Road) is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.971 for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Downend (Coronation Road) is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.971

  • 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 4.069 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Kiddi Caru Day Nursery and Preschool Downend (Coronation Road) is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 64 number of registered child places is 12.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.469

  • 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.
