I've had the best experience at bears and hugs nursery. My daughter has been going for a year and bit now and it's like home. The staff are so friendly and the nursery is very diverse. Any concerns you may about your child the staff reassure and advise you. They update you throughout the day that your
child is at the nursery. Letting you know what they eat what activities that they do. And during this Christmas period they have a lot of activities planned and everyone is included. My daughter is talking much more and is very confident. I would 100% recommend this nursery.
Reply from Linda, Manager at Bear Hugs Day Nursery Sandy HillThank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that your daughter feels at home at Bears Hugs and that you feel supported and reassured by our team. It's wonderful to see her growing in confidence and communication. Thank you for your recommendation - it truly means a lot to us.

My daughter has been at Bear Hugs Nursery for three months months now and has really enjoyed her time. All of the staff has been very professional, caring and attentive to her needs. She gets to play and explore so many different activities (some that I would not have thought of!). Everyday she comes
back with a craft project that she is very proud of. I really like that she is safe, learning and I am able to see updated on the app on her daily activities, including photos. It is a wonderful nursery and I would highly recommend this to any parent.

As my son is 2 and half and he joined the Nursery on Sep and due to his health it was not possible for him to go to nursery but also we keep communicating the staff and when he started its very hard for him to adopt the new environment but all the staff are very very helpful to settle down my son. Every
day is struggle for me to drop to school but I am relaxed when I get update about my son from staff. He is in right place where he is looked after properly. Thank you to all once again.
Reply from Darcy Potton, Manager at Bear Hugs Day Nursery TimbercroftThank you so much for your kind words. We're really glad to hear that our team has helped your son settle in and that you feel reassured. It's a pleasure to care for him, and we're here to support you both every step of the way!
