Our daughter attended Mama Bears from 10 months old to 18 months old. We felt confident leaving her there and that she was safe, happy and well looked after by the staff there. They have lovely outdoor space and the rooms feel big, light and welcoming. She was always happy to be left and always seemed
happy on pick up and comfortable with the staff.
We moved her due to a change in work circumstances but otherwise, she would still be there. It was great to be able to book her in from 8am- 6.30pm meaning that my husband could collect her after finishing work at 6pm. Would definitely recommend.

All of the staff at Mama Bears, Whiteladies Road, Bristol are always so great with my daughter. She is very shy around a lot of people but they always do their best to make her feel comfortable. She has developed and gained so much confidence thanks to Mama Bears.

Our son has attended this nursery since the age of 10 months old. Heis now two and a half. We as parents have always been impressed with the genuine care, interest compassion and friendliness of the staff. All the staff know us and our son by first name, we receive detailed summaries of progress and
activities during the days he attends and the updates on the Eylog are fantastic our son has gained social confidence and has developed some close friendships with his peers couldn't recommend more highly.

I have no concerns leaving my son at nursery every day. He is extremely well taken care of and he is always happy to go to nursery. I have a lot of respect for the staff looking after him, in particular, one staff member.
I am always able to discuss my son with staff and has helped me a lot with his
potty training as well as helping me to guide my son through his anxieties about new things he had to deal with.

My son loves coming to Mama Bear's in the morning. He especially likes the mud kitchen, and also likes learning the songs and the actions to go with them.
The staff are friendly and always full of happiness which seems to rub off on my son who usually wants to leave at the end of the day, but is always
keen to come back next time.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.542)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.542) out of 10 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Clifton - Whiteladies Road) 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.667 for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Clifton - Whiteladies Road) is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Clifton - Whiteladies Road) is based on 14 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 80 number of registered child places is 16. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.875

  • 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.
