Our son has progressed amazingly here at Bear Hugs and we could not have chosen a better nursery. If you want your child to be loved and encouraged with their play and academics I could not recommend Bear Hugs Enough.

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.
