Review from Serena S (Mother of Child) published on 19 November 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Overall they’ve been great. My son started a few months ago and has settled in really quickly.
All the staff are caring and friendly. Facilities are excellent with a big private garden for the kids to play in.

It’s all very well organised and the management team respond quickly to any questions etc. There are lots of activities and things going on, my son loves the singing time.

Overall Experience

I highly recommend Little Bear's on Wanstead Green. My son joined just before he turned 6 months and the whole team was so supportive and understanding of the anxiety you get sending your little one to nursery so young. They went through a really careful settling in process and my son absolutely loves it. He is now 7 months and goes in with a big grin on his face each morning. Everyone knows him (not just his key workers) and they go above and beyond to ensure he is happy, well fed and rested and is learning new things. The nursery has a real homely feel and I know he's in very safe hands. They provide regular updates on his day through the app and if I ever ring or email, they are incredibly responsive. I thoroughly recommend Little Bear's on Wanstead Green to anyone considering a nursery for their child.

Overall Experience

Little Bear's on Wanstead Green has been wonderful for my two little ones, who have attended the baby room since May. They are happy to go to nursery and they always have big smiles on their faces when I pick them up. The communication with the nursery is very easy and effective, with updates on children’s activities throughout the day via the app, as well as reviews on their development and progress. The staff are very helpful, caring and professional and they have a beautiful back garden. Highly recommend.

Overall Experience

We are extremely happy with Little Bear's on Wanstead Green. We looked at a few nurseries for our little girl and this one stood out by far. All the staff know her name, not just her key worker, and they make such an effort to make sure she’s happy, engaged, well fed, well slept, and safe. Staff always give us good updates about her day, and are very responsive to any questions we may have. We have recommended them to local friends and have all had great experiences.

So pleased we choose this nursery for our little girl. She has gone from strength to strength since starting, showcasing what she is learning and most importantly she is happy. The teachers/carers are brilliant, a great relationship has already formed.

Overall Experience

So pleased we chose to send our daughter to Little Bear's on Wanstead Green. Everyone is so lovely and accommodating, I can’t recommend them enough. As a new parent the thought of someone else looking after our daughter was a bit overwhelming but that didn’t last for long once we had met everyone. Our daughter loves nursery and we’re very happy.

Review from Caroline S (Mother of Child) published on 26 May 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The nursery staff and managers at Little Bears Wanstead have been extremely professional, attentive, supportive and responsive to mine and my little girl’s needs throughout. She joined them at 9 months old and has reached her developmental milestones a lot quicker than being at home, especially during lockdown after lockdown. She’s truly thriving now that she’s joined Little Bears and thoroughly enjoys all of the activities and socializing she gets to do during the day with the other children. Little Bears integration of the Parents' app has been my most useful resource from home which enables me to remain tapped into how my daughter is getting on during the day, including pictures of precious moments. I have full confidence in the Little Bears Wanstead team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an idyllic nursery environment for their child. Everything about their services, care, facilities, food etc is of a very high standard. No complaints, whatsoever.

Overall Experience

Little Bear's on Wanstead Green is a lovely, small nursery that genuinely cares about your child. I know my son is well looked after and most importantly cared about whilst there. They have a ton of fun activities for the children to do. Including a colour powder party. My son loved it! Also this means I don’t need to do any of the messy play at home. Bonus! They are constantly trying to improve the nursery by requesting feedback. A lovely nursery with great facilities, awesome staff and happy children.

Overall Experience

Since joining in August 2020 my child has become far more confident and independent. This is due to staff expertise and the range of resources available to the children. My little one particularly enjoys the large outdoor garden which is used regularly. Staff communication is excellent and I feel confident in knowing that he is safe in their care.

Overall Experience

Over the last year and half, we've been so happy with Little Bear's on Wanstead Green. All the staff, from management down, care deeply about all the children. The facilities following the recent refurbishment are incredible, has large rooms and a massive outdoor space that create plenty of a scope for learning and play. Also, there is such a wonderful and welcoming community of parents and children. Very lucky to have such a wonderful nursery nearby.

5* my little girl is extremely happy to go to nursery every day. Staff are very friendly, polite and professional. Lots of communication between the nursery and parents and daily updates on your child’s progress throughout the day. Reviews on their development and progress is very reassuring. We feel safe dropping her off as there is strict guidance on entering. The room is always clean along with the nursery. Highly recommend.

My son started at Little Bears recently having been out of a nursery setting due to lockdown. The staff were extremely friendly and he settled in immediately! He loves attending nursery, and I have nothing but praise for the staff. There are lots of activities for them to do. The rooms have recently been refurbished to a high standard, and the garden space is huge. Management have always been quick to respond to any queries, and I would not hesitate in recommending Little Bears to others.

Kiran Naqvi

I have been working in the Childcare sector for 16 years from babysitting, nannying and then working my way up from being an Early Years Practitioner all the way to a Nursery Manager.

I love watching children learn and grow and it is always exciting to know that not one day will be the same with them. It's wonderful to see how much children change over the years and to see them take that big step into Reception.

Now having my own child, I can see first-hand how important these first years are and how much can do to help shape and mould the children for their future.
