My son started to attend the nursery setting when he was 6 months old, he's now 3 and they've been so attentive and supportive throughout his time at the nursery. He's come leaps and bounds and I appreciate every single member of staff for looking after my child and supporting him in every way possible.
The staff are incredible and go out of their way, they are very well trained in every aspect of child care and that really does reflect in their work. My son has an incredible bond with everyone at the nursery and loves going.
Every single staff member have not only been supportive of my child but have also helped me through some difficult times.
They accommodated for my child food allergy effectively and always offer different activities including going out in to the community.
The setting feels more like a family unit! I highly recommend Gummy Bears to anyone looking for childcare services or out of school clubs for their children. Very trustworthy! Very caring! Always happy!

My little boy who is almost five, has attended GummyBears during the February half term. My little boy can be anxious at times, having to leave me when in new situations and places.
From the first day, he has absolutely loved every second. The staff are so lovely, welcoming and ever so helpful. They
have been amazing.
I also like the fact that they use an app, so I have been able to see what he has been up to and what he's had for his meals.
I would highly recommend Gummy Bears to anyone.

My girls started at Gummy Bears Nursery earlier this year and they love it. The staff have been so warm and welcoming. The nursery has a lovely feel to it and a homely atmosphere. My daughters are always happy when I pick them up and love to tell me about what they have been learning and doing throughout
the day. The setting itself has lots of resources and toys for the children to play with. The building is deceptively big and has lots of outdoor space. The nursery is always creating activities that are based on current events e.g. the King’s coronation, Father’s Day etc. There are different learning activities set up for the children to engage with. The staff help to prepare the preschoolers well for their transition to school. They encourage: counting, independence at meal times and drawing. The staff are really personable and genuinely care for the children. I would highly recommend a visit to Gummy Bears to see for yourself what the setting is like. We couldn’t be happier!

My boys started in November 2022 and love it.
They do a range of activities, I have really good communication with the staff and they are always happy when I pick them up.
There is a variety of staff which I think helps meet the different needs of the children.
They have recently changed the menu
and I think this is great for encouraging a varied diet.

I have had all 3 of my children in Gummy Bears Nursery over the last 6 years and they’ve honestly become like family. All my kids have been happy there and enjoy going. We also occasionally use the out of school club which is also fab. They know my kids so well and the kids love all the staff. My only
niggle is the paint they use - whilst I love them being creative it just doesn’t wash out which is a bit annoying but everything else is great

My children have been attending Gummy Bears Nursery & Out of School Club for a few months now and absolutely love it. They have so much fun when they are there and my youngest is always disappointed when it is home time.
The staff are absolutely brilliant- not only in the level of care and friendliness
they show to my children but also to myself. They have been so helpful and accommodating when I have needed last-minute care for my children.
I highly recommend Gummy Bears Nursery & Out of School Club.

The nursery may be small but it is so perfect in every way. The staff have great knowledge of my child's learning/milestones and help so much with reaching them. She absolutely loves her time there with varied types of learning through play. We recommend here very much.

My little one has attended for over a year now, she has come on so much. Her move to the over 3's room was handled so well. It's clear the staff really care and love the children.
I would like to see more of a daily update on the things they have been doing, not just one activity a week. It would
be good for some more activities out of nursery ie going for a walk, to the park or something like that.
But overall a great nursery.

My child is confident and thriving at gummy bears, she gets on really well with the staff as well as the other children. They have helped her grow massively and have been a great help to me as a parent when I've had questions about her development.

My oldest child has been attending Gummy Bears Nursery & Out of School Club @ Hilltop for three years now. He loves going to play with all his friends. He has built a special bond with all the staff who works there as he is eager to tell them what he gets up to outside of the nursery.
My youngest
child has been attending for a few months now, she settled in with ease. I love that both of my children on occasions can see and play with each other. It's so comforting and reassuring that both my child are cared for in an enriching, safe learning environment.

One of the most amazing nurseries and out-of-school clubs. My oldest has been going since she was about three and has come a long way with the help of the nursery and now goes to the after-school club. My youngest has been going since about one and has loved it and come a long way. Staff are like family
and an amazing team. They look after all the kids amazingly. I have recommended them to anyone as your child would definitely flourish.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.745)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.745) out of 10 for Gummy Bears Nursery & Out of School Club @ Hilltop 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 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 4.967 for Gummy Bears Nursery & Out of School Club @ Hilltop is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.967

  • 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 3.778 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gummy Bears Nursery & Out of School Club @ Hilltop 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 90 number of registered child places is 18. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.278

  • 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.
