I couldn't be happier with the experience and learning opportunities my daughter is receiving at Claire Bears Nursery.
The staff are caring, kind, experienced and attentive. They address each child's individual needs while also helping them develop socially and emotionally. Staff communicate and keep
parents posted on a daily basis.
My little girl came in anxious and unsettled and the staff went to great lengths to make her feel secure and happy. The difference in her is why I would whole-heartedly recommend this nursery to anyone.

My daughter has been attending full-time since November 2021 and although she has transitioned into a state school, she refuses to leave this amazing nursery. She is the youngest in her year, yet the state school says her confidence and vocational ability are more advanced than most in her year. This
is due to the effort Claire Bears has given her and the other children.
The amazing gourmet food and snacks, the diversity, the care, the staff, the attention to detail, the educational trips out, the vocational developing skills, the motoring skills, the mucky play, the baking, the arts and crafts, the decorating for their own parties, I can go on forever about the amount of fun and learning my daughter has experienced.
There at favourites in this nursery. All are treated equally with care and kindness. The staff are well mannered and very friendly.
I would give this school a nova star if there was one as I am a very hard person to please.
I will never forget the love and kindness.

Our child has been at Claire Bears for a year now - and they have come on leaps and bounds. The confidence this place instils is excellent. The care and love felt by all staff members is wonderful to see. The activities, diverse and engaging - I really feel like everyone is working their socks off and
I'm super glad we found the place.

There is a certain charm about this nursery.
My child has been attending this nursery for over a year, full-time. The staff are very professional, friendly and caring. The activities, trips and care for attention are something I cannot fault. My child is very confident and loves coming here. Her speech
and independence have developed enormously. Thank you to one particular member of staff, you are one amazing woman and your love for all the children that attend is equal and unbeatable. Your staff and facilities are wonderful. Your attention to detail for every occasion, celebration and season show the passion you have and the effort you make to include all parents and children.

Claires Bears Day Nursery is a small and friendly nursery. Our 9-month-old son loves going there every morning to do different activities, eat freshly cooked meals and meet other kids! Staff are very professional, dedicated and passionate. Always a nice word at the end of the day. We highly recommend
this place.

Very happy. Our toddler loves going to nursery. Feel very lucky this place opened near us just when we needed it. The team are warm and professional. They've also been really helpful whenever we've needed anything.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.726)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.726) out of 10 for Claire Bears 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 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 4.896 for Claire Bears is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 3.83 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Claire Bears is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 44 number of registered child places is 8.8. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.455

  • 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.
