My daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old. She had no problems settling in. Staff in the baby room sent regular updates, which was nice to see. She is now in the toddler room where she has, again, settled with no issues. And have lovely updates from this team too. The manager is always willing to accommodate any extra sessions where possible and nothing too much trouble.

Absolutely amazing nursery and our daughter loves it here. She settled in quickly and all the staff are fantastic and very friendly. The nursery has great rooms and lovely outdoor area and we also love the events and activities the put on. The app is really useful and well-updated throughout the day. The management are always very helpful.

The lovely staff at Kiddi Caru have been amazing from the day our daughter started. They have helped her settle in to pre school (sunflower's) and supported her with her development and any additional needs. Since being here they have created a support plan for her, supported with her ASD assessment, and are applying for an ECHP. They have embraced her and I feel happy that she is going to have a lovely day full of 'cuggles' play and learning each time I drop her off which is so lovely. Her confidence, speech, and communication has come on so much and I'm sure it has a lot to do with her interaction here. There's an amazing garden and so much for them to play with it's fab. I cannot thank the staff here enough - absolute stars I would recommend 100%.

This is a warm and caring nursery with great facilities and strong communication. Our little boy settled in fast and is keen to be there. It's one of the few nurseries in the area that provides longer days and year-round care. They've been flexible with additional days when we've needed them. The food is healthy, varied and cooked on-site by a staff member who has been at the nursery for decades. Communication from staff is excellent, with updates at pick-up, information on the app and calls where there are immediate concerns. The whole nursery has just been refurbished, and it looks really smart. The outside space is particularly impressive for the preschool children.

The staff are excellent, and we're very happy with the care and early years education that our child is receiving. The only things stopping me from giving them five stars are the outdoor/garden spaces could do with further work (there's no grass and little in the way of plants etc.), and more trips to the park or out in the community would be beneficial too, I believe. I feel the nursery and children would greatly benefit from these changes. But I want to reiterate that we are really happy with the choice we have made and would recommend 'Kiddi Caru Day Nursery Brislington' to anyone living in the area.

Since starting nursery, our daughter has flourished! We cannot thank the staff enough; they are incredibly supportive and approachable. Every time we collect our daughter, they fill us in on how her day has been, and they also regularly update the app during the day. It is a sign of a great nursery when your child comes home and immediately says "more nursery"!

I am very pleased and grateful to the teachers for everything. My daughter really wanted to go to the nursery, she liked it very much. My child has learnt so much, it's incredible, definitely only the best recommendations.
07 March 2024
We have been at Kiddi Caru Brislington for 3.5 years and we couldn’t be happier. The management go the extra mile to make sure all our needs are catered for, the staff are passionate about early years and the kids always look entertained and stimulated. We highly recommend this setting!

Really good, the staff are kind and knowledgeable and everyone is approachable. Very impressed. They have been flexible and are willing to help. My children come home happy every day and look forward to going in the morning.

I really like this nursery! The staff is so lovely and is amazing with the children, they do a lot of activities. My child loves going to this nursery. I surely recommend this nursery to all my friends!

Ever since my daughter started school she lacked in confidence and her learning was good but could have been so much better. Being born in COVID she didn’t have much trust within people but the first day of nursery yes she cried but doesn’t every child leaving there parent for the first time, within the first few months the girls that look after her had seen such a change, within a few months my daughter's vocabulary had tripled and her confidence had grew massively, the colleagues and the manager should be super proud of the confidence and happiness they bring to the children because I certainly know that my daughter has never been happier and absolutely is thriving in her learning environment. You have a brilliant nursery and I would recommend to anyone looking for a nursery that the staff has so much care within their heart, my daughter looks forward to going to nursery and looks forward to seeing everyone there so thank you for making my daughter thrive in her life.

Our daughter enjoys her time at Mama Bear's Day Nursery and has made some lovely friends. All of the staff are always friendly and approachable and happy to talk about our daughter's day and what she has been doing. They seem very engaged with the children even if they are in different classes. The food is cooked on site which our daughter loves and the cook is great too and very much part of the team.

I’m one of the mums and I have so much respect and love for the ladies at Mama Bear's Day Nursery (Brislington). They are kind, caring and hard-working. Huge well done and thanks to them. They really deserve huge praise.
03 April 2023
Since my daughter has been going to Mama Bear's. She has become so confident and is thriving. She always enjoys her day and comes home happy. All the staff are lovely and caring towards the children and parents. They always take on board any concerns and help my daughter learn and develop in the best way possible.

My son attended here and he came out of his shell so much! The staff here are absolutely amazing, every day I had updates on what he was doing and it made me feel right at ease. The nursery itself was wonderful with lots of things for children to do! The best nursery I’ve ever had the pleasure of sending any of my children to

Lovely place for children, my son has been here since he was 1 and he's now 3, he loves it every day, met some really good friends. The staff adapt to your needs with a friendly approach. The care is spot on and I would recommend 100%. Special mention to two ladies who really go above and beyond for my child.
03 January 2023
Wonderful nursery. My son is very happy here in the babies room. Working really hard to deal with difficult staffing shortages across the nursery sector also. My son gets up to lots of interesting things and enjoys the food, toys, activities and staff.
13 January 2022
What appears to be extremely poor recruitment management has led to children being kicked out of nursery just days before the Xmas holidays, leaving parents with no child care and no way to make new arrangements before their return to work once the holidays are over. Staff at Brislington were otherwise friendly, however, our son was sent home for approximately five out of the twelve weeks he was there due to vomiting and diarrhoea. Not sure if that is common for children joining nursery after being in isolation or if it is a hygiene issue. Still had to pay for those five weeks of course.

2020 was a very challenging year for us, with our first child being born in the midst of the COVID pandemic. As a result, we were very eager to get our son into nursery so that he could meet other children and get to know other grown-ups, following essentially a whole year in lockdown. But we were also anxious about him mingling with others and whether or not he would be safe spending so much time in the company of strangers (given the risks posed by COVID). We’re really pleased with how Mama Bear’s on Allison Road has handled looking after all the children during this difficult time, and the staff have been brilliant at both welcoming our son into nursery, but also communicating with us and letting us know how he’s been getting on, especially considering the difficulties created by COVID restrictions and safety measures. Staff are always there to greet him in the morning. They are friendly and helpful and always keep us updated as to his progress. We’ve also seen great developmental strides since he’s been at nursery. He’s more confident with strangers and is much better at managing frustrations.

My son has attended Mama Bear’s at Allison Road for over 3 years now since he was 8 months old and always felt very well looked after. The facilities and outdoor spaces are brilliant, and food is cooked on site. He is thriving in this environment, loves going to nursery and has built very strong bonds with his peers and the staff. The staff have been fantastic, the new manager is extremely competent, communication is great and they are all very approachable. I love getting little daily online updates on our son’s progress. We are really happy with the care for our son, and we highly recommend them!
