How they support every child

Outdoor space

Children and staff run around outside, playing games, and making the most of the space. Children 'whoosh' underneath the parachute and sing familiar songs as staff laugh along and encourage more children to join in the fun. Staff help children with bats and balls to help their developing coordination, and younger children learn to pedal tricycles.

Our baby has been attending Nuffy Bear Day Nursery in Cheam since October after our friends recommended it. We are very pleased we chose it. Since day one, the manager and her team have been fantastic! They are very friendly, approachable and always communicate with us on how our daughter is getting on. We get so many updates via the app on all of the lovely activities they have been doing, the skills she has been working on and her next steps. She has learnt so much already! The party in the baby room at Christmas was brilliant. Parents and family members were invited and it was lovely to see her so at home in the nursery setting! We highly recommend this nursery.

I can’t recommend this nursery enough! My son joined when he was a year old till this year (he is starting big school) the staff are just amazing. My son literally would be so excited to see them all every morning. It’s lovely when your child enjoys going to nursery. The activities they do daily are so clever and well thought off and my son has learned so so much here. Big shout out to Steph the manager she is just brilliant with all the children.

I have been involved recently in picking up and dropping off my grandchild and I can't express how grateful I am to the nursery and the staff there. The way I see my grandson jump into their arms and look at them will always give me that reassurance. I have experienced a few other nurseries with other children in the family and never have I experienced the way they do their events, there Mother's Day was amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing the Easter bonnet parade! And I always express how my grandson goes and supports the community by going and visit the people in independent living! Absolutely incredible, highly recommend!

My son went to Nuffy Bear in Cheam from a baby till he was 4 years old, I was nervous about him settling, but the care and atmosphere was amazing and he had the most enjoyable time. The staff were all so supportive, they all went that extra mile for the children and parents too. Brilliant events throughout the year, doing things for different occasions, such as Easter, etc. they have a swimming pool on site which they have lessons once a week from the age of 3 I think it was. My son still swims at nuffield health and still to this day the staff at Nuffy Bear always check in with us to see how things are. The day of his graduation was a very sad day, saying goodbye to these incredible people that really helped my boy develop, we are forever grateful to them. I would recommend this nursery to anyone and everyone, brilliant team of people!

Amazing nursery where my son is doted on. All the staff have a wonderful relationship with him which they have built individually and he is excited to go every morning. My son will be two soon and as he develops it is lovely to see them get as proud of his milestones as I do. I highly recommend this nursery if you want to send your child somewhere that is loving and a supportive environment.
