Mama Bear’s Day Nursery is a family run childcare organisation based in the West Country. We were established in 2002 with the aim of making high-quality, affordable childcare available to families living, working or studying in the South West. We have day nurseries located in Bristol (in Brislington, Cadbury Heath, Clifton, Downend, Fishponds, Hengrove, Shirehampton and Soundwell), in Taunton (on the Somerset College campus in Wellington Road) and in Paignton (on the South Devon College campus in Long Road).

We’re passionate about what we do and work diligently to ensure that this results in safe and happy children in our care. There are many studies that highlight the benefits of care in a day nursery setting but what makes us proudest is that when children leave our Preschool to go on to 'Big' School they do so as confident individuals. However, we also recognise that our role is to support the needs of the family as a whole, especially those where both parents work. To achieve this we have many working-family friendly policies, including longer opening-hours.

We also accept childcare vouchers from most providers and can give advice on tax credits and other help with fees.

Over 800 families across the South West trust Mama Bear’s Day Nurseries and Pre-schools to care for their children. Why not come to your local setting and see why we’re one of the West Country's favourite day care providers.
