My little boy joined this setting in December 2024 and even though it's only been a few weeks, I couldn't be happier with how things have gone so far. The communication is really good, I know exactly what is going on in his day. There have been a couple of occasions where he has had a fall or a bump, they always call to make me aware but deal with it appropriately. It's such a friendly place full of love. Everyone is so incredibly welcoming and approachable. I have had no issues but if I did I feel I could raise these and they would be dealt with. My little boy has come home and told me about all the mucky play, songs he's been singing, games he's been playing. They are always busy doing something. All food/snacks are prepared fresh on site in the kitchen which I really like. I feel happy my little boy is eating good, wholesome hot meals. All in all it's the best move I have made for my little boy and I couldn't he happier with the experience so far all round. Would highly recommend it.

I couldn't be happier with Mama Bears, as a first-time father, everything is daunting, and I feel so comfortable leaving my girls at Mama Bears, every member of the team are very friendly and takes time to create a welcoming and warm environment. With personal updates, I feel my girls are in great hands. The Christmas nativity showed this perfectly, the teachers had personal connections with all the children and put on a great show for everyone. Praises all around, and a big thank you to all at Mama Bears.

We have had a very positive experience with this nursery, our son has settled in very well. All the staff are friendly and caring and seem really engaged with the children and interested in getting to know them. I can head to work knowing he is going to be well looked after, safe, and in the care of people who have his best interests at heart. He learns new things all the time and gets opportunities to play and interact with other children. Thanks to all of the staff there, you do an incredible job.

My daughter has always struggled with separation at nursery, but her transition here has been incredibly smooth thanks to the warm, caring, and supportive staff who have made her feel so comfortable. The nursery offers wonderful activities like crafts and garden play, which my daughter loves. She enjoys both the toddler and preschool rooms and the team creates a nurturing, engaging environment for all the children. The staff are kind, responsive, and always quick to answer calls or emails, giving me great peace of mind. The Flexicare option is also fantastic, letting us avoid paying for planned leave. Thank you to the manager and the team at Mama Bear's for the amazing care and support. I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my daughter!

My daughter started in January at the age of 9 months, met 2 lovely girls who introduced themselves to my daughter and took to them straight away and very patient when she got upset, had a dietary problem with certain foods she was eating and sent an email across and dealt with it straight away by management. The staff made me feel at ease handing my daughter over each morning. Always comes out with clean clothes on, communication through the app works well so I can check on my daughter throughout the day. 5 stars to the company.

Love this nursery and I love all the staff, both my children have gone through nursery years here. They always remember everyone here! I recommend anyone to bring their children to Midvale Road Mama Bear's.

Mama Bears Nursery has recently had a change in managerial staff February 2023. However, I feel the Nursery has maintained its high standards in providing excellent childcare. I have always found everyone to be friendly and caring of my child. They always come home happy and enjoy going to see the other children and staff there each week.

Such a lovely team, both my boys are so happy here. My eldest has lots of friends and they spend a good amount of time outside. I am always the last parent to pick them up and my baby is always being given a cuddle. Can’t recommend it here enough.

Everyone is really hands-on with the children and very on top of the children’s health. My little boy had a high temperature and they called me straight away, took him to the doctors and he had tonsillitis. Very happy with how fast they acted.

Our daughter has been attending since she was 9 months old and has grown extremely fond of all the team at Mama Bear's. She loves coming to nursery and has excelled massively since she started going full-time in January. My only downfall would be the state she is sent home in sometimes, dirty and wet clothes, and wet coats, her coat has recently been ruined by paint which has been used at the nursery, likewise for some of her shoes. I would have thought it would be washable paint being a nursery setting so maybe this could be an improvement you make to protect the clothes and shoes we pay a lot of money for. We also have the 30 hours funded but feel we still pay quite a lot for our childcare. Overall we are really happy with the nursery, but as of late feel a lack of care is being given with regard to children’s clothing and belongings.

I was hesitant about putting my child into his first nursery, but the staff put my nerves at ease. The staff are always friendly and happy to help. Management has been a great support when talking me through funding and even helping me complete my application. I could not have been more pleased I chose to send my son here. Thank you!

The management and admin give fast responses via email when I am querying hours and are very quick to accommodate any issues or problems. Which, in turn, are dealt with professionally. The nursery has very helpful staff throughout, with such a professional and outstanding scheme.

My daughter has settled in Midvale extremely well, she started in April. She is very fond of all the girls who work there, talking about them at home and is always excited to go into nursery to see them. My son also went to this nursery from 18 months right up until he started school, there really wasn't any other settings I would send my children to.

Excellent setting, highly recommended. All staff have been amazing with my little boy since he started, always going above and beyond. Lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which is lovely to see!

My daughter (3 years old) has fitted into Mama Bear's straight away. She has formed friendships with the other children and has a really close bond with the staff. She is learning loads and enjoys it. They have prepared her well for school in September. We have never had any issues with Mama Bear's and I would recommend them to everyone.

Mama Bear's Day Nursery & Pre-School (Paignton - Midvale Road) is an amazing nursery. They are very accepting and accommodating to the most complex needs of children. My daughter has been there for just over two years, she has a disability which includes being non verbal and non mobile, the staff are makaton trained and very clued up as to what is needed. I could not ask for a better place for my daughter to be and have such a fantastic, inclusive start to her nursery life. Thank you all!
