Mama Bear's Day Nursery

We want to be as helpful as we can to all of our families, and one way we achieve this is by keeping our hours open later.
With the exception of federal holidays and the Christmas Week (which runs from the day after Christmas through the second day of the new year), our nurseries are open from 7.30 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday*.
Depending on availability, The Mama Bear's in Yeovil, Plymouth, Bradley Stoke, and Whiteladies Road (Clifton) open at 7 a.m.
To assist them adjust, it is advised that children who are going to attend nursery go on at least two familiarisation visits with a parent or caretaker.
They will be greeted by their Key Person and reintroduced to the other kids on their first official day with us.
While we strive to discourage kids from bringing their own toys, a teddy bear or blanket might occasionally be soothing in the first few days.
However, the majority of kids adapt easily and take pleasure in their new circumstances.
A staff member welcomes and releases each visitor to the nursery.
Unless the parent/carer gives permission, only people who have been pre-authorized will be able to pick up their kid from nursery.
We will phone you and ask that the kid be picked up if a child becomes ill during their nursery session and a temperature is detected.
When a kid has a fever, we will ask permission before giving them Calpol as they wait to be picked up.
If they are well enough to do so, they can go back to the nursery once the temperature has subsided.
Children who have had Calpol or any medicine that might lower their body temperature before their childcare session will not be allowed in, unless it was given for teething or as a result of an early childhood immunisation.
We are pleased to provide children who are teething or have just received early childhood vaccines Calpol during the childcare day.
Prior to administration, staff will ask that a medicine paperwork be completed.
To assist stop the spread of infection, any kid who has or develops an infectious illness must be kept at home.
Particularly, any youngster experiencing vomiting or diarrhoea must be kept at home for at least 48 hours until symptom-free.
Ask for a copy of our entire illness policy or chat with the nursery manager for additional information.
A kid who has been sent home from childcare due to a fever will not be allowed back for another 24 hours.
The nursery does not give infant milk.
All of these occurrences are noted, followed up on, and reported back to the parent or caregiver, who is then required to sign an accident form.
