Two new nurseries for Bradley Stoke

The Bristol-based nursery group which acquired the former Butterflies Day Nursery site on Great Park Road last year has taken on another nursery in the area, creating sustainable childcare places and more employment opportunities for the Bradley Stoke community.

Mama Bear s Day Nursery group will be running The Covey nursery in Baileys Court from   today  Monday 19 January following the retirement of the previous owners.

The move marks the 21^st nursery for the husband and wife team. Interest in both nurseries is already high and Mama Bear s is looking for more staff to add to the teams already in place.

Mama Bear s owner Bev Driffield said: “We are delighted to have another nursery in Bradley Stoke and we look forward to offering even more quality childcare to local families. It is such a lovely, vibrant part of Bristol.

“Our offer of free registration until June has attracted lots of new families, so we are looking to expand the teams we have in place. Opportunities are available for Level-3 qualified childcare practitioners and apprentices.

“We always aim to create a home-from-home environment and we put a massive focus on the quality of care we provide, as well as training for our staff, so it s a great opportunity for anyone in the industry or those looking to get in to the industry. ”

Mama Bear s nurseries are divided into spacious age-specific play rooms for children aged three months to five years. The onsite kitchens provide healthy, balanced meals consisting of breakfast, a two-course hot lunch and afternoon tea. Fresh fruit and drinking water is available in rooms throughout the day.

Outdoor play is encouraged with age-specific outdoor play areas and plans are in place for redevelopment at both Bradley Stoke nurseries in early 2015 to create outstanding play environments which will ignite children s imaginations and support their early years education.

Close to Almondsbury Business Park, Aztec West and the M4/M5 junction the new nurseries will be ideal for those living or working in Bradley Stoke, Little Stoke, Stoke Gifford and Almondsbury.

Bev continued: “We really believe children thrive while with us and we strive to prepare them for the next big step up to primary school. If you d like to come and take a look around our nurseries and meet with the team, we d love to have you or if you think you could join our friendly, professional team, please get in touch.

“The idea for Mama Bear s Day Nursery initially started in our living room in Bradley Stoke so it feels like we have come back home. ”

Mama Bear s Day Nursery is a family-run business founded in 2002 with its offices in Hanham, Bristol. The Day Nurseries are aimed at providing children with their first vital level of education to give them a head-start when they start at primary school.
