Speedwell - Whiteway Road
Welcome to Mama Bear’s Day Nursery in Speedwell, a nurturing haven for early learning, located on Whiteway Road with a separate dedicated Baby Unit just two doors down on Kingsmead Road. Our facilities are crafted to cater to the unique needs of two distinct age groups—infants under two years and preschoolers aged two to four years—ensuring personalised care and developmental opportunities that foster growth and discovery.
Tailored Environments for Targeted Development
Infant Exploration: Our dedicated Baby Unit is a sanctuary designed specifically for infants under two years old. Recognising the rapid developmental changes in these early years, our nursery features distinct indoor and outdoor areas. These spaces allow our youngest learners to safely explore the world around them using their burgeoning senses, offering both serene and stimulating environments to cater to their evolving needs.
Energetic Engagement for Toddlers: Just a step away, the Bouncy Room for our two-year-olds is a dynamic and colourful space filled with a variety of educational toys and activities. Here, toddlers engage in tasks that challenge their growing abilities while still enjoying the essential joys of play. This balance ensures they develop crucial skills while having a lot of fun.
Pre-School Preparation: For children aged three to five, our Pre-School Room provides a structured yet flexible environment where they can prepare for the transition to 'big school.' This room emphasises social skills and learning through discovery, allowing children to explore at their own pace in a supportive setting. The curriculum is designed to enhance language, math, and critical thinking skills while fostering independence and confidence.
A Garden of Growth and Discovery
One of the jewels of our nursery is the expansive pre-school garden. This outdoor wonderland is where your child will not only play and enjoy the fresh air but also engage in activities that promote gross motor skills. The garden is equipped with safe, age-appropriate play structures that encourage climbing, running, and imaginative play, ensuring that physical activity is a fundamental part of their daily routine.
Safety, Security, and Nurturing Care
At Mama Bear’s, we prioritise creating a safe, secure, and welcoming environment where every child feels valued and protected. Our staff are extensively trained to provide attentive care, ensuring that each child's individual needs are met with compassion and professionalism.

Meet our Nursery Manager: Nicola
Hello I'm Nicola. Ever since I left school I knew I wanted a career in childcare. I studied a childcare course at college then have worked in day nurseries ever since. I have worked myself up the career ladder to where I am today as Nursery Manager. I have been with Mama Bear's for 13 years and I am still passionate about achieving the best outcomes for all children. I enjoy being hands on in the rooms, supporting staff in providing a fun, nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn and develop. I look forward to meeting you.
