Closed the pre school provision with a day notice, leaving parents without child care or means to find alternative options. Many Staff leaving has prompted this, you have to wonder why there is a mass exodus.
Poor management to allow this to happen and without giving parents and warnings, and no
date of a re opening, it will be at least 2/3 months! The children and parents will be the ones totally disrupted, shocking it's
been allowed to happen.
Pre school swimming lessons have not been happening, and a general decline in activity leading to bored children, (now now were due to staffing).

Reply from Lucy Kerr, Manager at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Nuneaton

We understand how disruptive the temporary closure of the preschool provision has been for families, & we apologise for the upset caused.We are actively working to recruit the right team to ensure that we are once again able to provide the quality of care & consistency throughout the setting that everyone is used to & deserves.We are surprised by your comments regarding a decline in activities, as we have not had any concerns raised regarding this & we have had a number of exciting interests that have led to ongoing activities, which the children have enjoyed. Volcanos, children learnt all about volcanos, participated in a variety of activities based around volcanos. This interest was sparked following an interest in dinosaurs & learning about the end of the dinosaurs. We pride ourselves on being child led, this was documented in our Ofsted report where the inspector said the nursery curriculum is ambitious, with clear intentions for what they want children to achieve and learn.

Nuffy Bear is an amazing nursery! My little one has now been going for 6 months and really has settled. The staff members are so friendly and amazing! Even at the end of the day, they have lots of energy and are so welcoming. They teach your little ones so many things. I am so happy with my choice!

Our child has only been at Nuffy Bear Nursery for a short time but we know we picked the right place, there's a family feel about this nursery. The staff are so helpful and kind, they could not do anymore for the care of our child as she settled into the nursery so quickly which was a huge relief, they
provide a great variety of food whilst keeping it healthy and nutritious. The App is fantastic and it keeps you updated on their nap times, what they've eaten, when they've been changed, plus some photos of activities. Our child has become so sociable, she interacts with everything at the nursery which is helping her development massively. I cannot recommend this nursery enough, thank you to everyone at Nuffy Bear Nursery.

This review is based on the 8 months that my daughter has been attending.
Nuffy Bear Nursery is very good and the team are very friendly. All the staff regardless of the age group look after my daughter. She really enjoys going in and is very happy and content there.
The staff have been excellent
in helping support her to crawl, stand and finally walk. They also have been great in getting her to try out different types of foods and flavours.
The nursery has an app that lets you meals and nap times (though not always updated) which is useful. The app is also used to show activities, learning and development and pictures which is nice to see.
The only negative was at the start when my daughter joined the amount of milk she was drinking was not shown on the app and there were issues around changing of nappies and using correct wipes. This was rectified by working with the nursery manager and ensuring staff were made aware of the requirements. None of this is an issue anymore.

What a fantastic nursery! The staff are absolutely amazing. It took quite some time for our daughter to settle in when she first joined, however, the staff really helped make her feel welcome and comfortable. It's really easy to be kept up-to-date via the app, where staff regularly provide updates with
what our daughter has eaten and the amount of food eaten too - which is really useful to know. We would highly recommend this nursery to anyone looking to place their little ones here! Great job all around guys, well done!

I have known the Nuffy Bear Nuneaton team since 2018 when my son started. He is now off at school and my youngest now attends Nuffy Bear, although she too will be leaving for school this summer.
I can honestly say I'll be sad not to see the Nuffy Bear team any longer, all of the staff are truly wonderful,
kind and caring.
My daughter has made some lovely friendships at the nursery, with children and staff alike.
I can't thank the team enough for all of their hard work over the years looking after my two and I wish them all the very best and would certainly recommend Nuffy Bear to other parents.

My son has been attending Nuffy Bear Nuneaton since 2 years old. English is his second language and cannot praise the staff enough for supporting his journey. He is now fluent in English thanks to great care and support at Nuffy Bear. He was a bit shy at the beginning as well but after couple of months
he came out of his shell. Didn't have any problems with the nursery at all! The staff is always friendly and helpful! Meals are healthy and tasty! Great variation of food is offered on a daily basis! Really recommend the nursery!

I can't fault the care shown to my son since he joined at 10 months old and now he's ready to start school. The staff are lovely! Really brought him out of his shell as a socially neglected covid baby. The extra swimming time has been fantastic. The meals are varied and nutritious. I'll be sad when

My daughter has been with Nuffy Bear for 2.5 years so far, and I plan to keep her there until school age. She absolutely loves going to nursery. The staff are wonderful and caring. Truly an asset to the nursery. We are kept updated throughout the day via the app, so we can see what has been eaten, photos
of activities and progress reports. She comes home regularly with artwork, enjoys swimming at nursery, dance classes and so much more. I highly recommend Nuffy Bear.

My child has attended since she was 5 months old and has now turned 2. The same staff have been there since she started which has allowed me to trust more as I was a bit nervous at the beginning. They are always around I feel comfortable with her being there and she loves them. Anytime I ask or request
something they always accommodate as much as they can which is lovely for me as well. She enjoys nursery which is the most important part.

I have known the Nuffy Bear Day Nursery since 2017, and now it is my younger child attending it. All the team are very caring, loving, and so knowledgeable in the areas of childcare, safeguarding, first aid, just to list a few. My son joined the nursery when he was 15 months old. He had been a shy little
boy but has now built good relationships with other kids, opening up and joining in the activities. All of this could not have happened without so much support and encouragement from the Nuffy Bear staff. My son took some time to learn the nursery rules, but has now taken all these good habits home. Many thanks to all the team for taking so much time to explain to him over and over again the things, giving precious lessons, which he has internalised. We have also received great help from the nursery when it comes to recognising speech difficulties and promoting the development of linguistic skills. I could not think of a better place to care for the little ones.

Nuffy Bear is a wonderful nursery with amazing staff. I looked at a lot of the reviews here to help me choose the right nursery for my daughter along with Ofsted and the visits. I'm so glad we chose Nuffy. My daughter loves it and runs in every morning without looking back. She has formed wonderful
attachments and relationships with the staff there who are always lovely, kind, happy, supportive and wonderful. She eats some amazing food options which is different every week, gets nursery photos, makes birthday cards, mothers Day and fathers Day cards and dances. She has the best days, so much so that when we go swimming she immediately wants to go in for another day there! I couldn't recommend Nuffy Bear enough.

Since starting at Nuffy Bear Day Nursery, my daughter has developed so much more confidence, loves interacting with the other children and has built some very strong bonds with the staff. She is excited for nursery in the morning and goes straight to the staff for a cuddle. As a parent I feel extremely
reassured by seeing these bonds, I always get a thorough handover at the end of the day and all of the staff are always extremely helpful with any queries I have. All meals provided are healthy and nutritious and the activities my daughter takes part in are always varied, encouraging her to develop both creatively and academically. I would absolutely recommend Nuffy Bear as a wonderful, safe, and nurturing place.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.744) out of 10 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Nuneaton is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.744 for Nuffy Bear Day Nursery Nuneaton is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.744

  • 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 Nuneaton is based on 19 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 40 number of registered child places is 8, which has been reached with 19 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.

When I am not at work, I am busy looking after my two children or busy cleaning up after my two rescue dogs.
