Busy Bees at Wanstead Green

The team at Little Bear's on Wanstead Green have created such a warm, safe and welcoming environment that it's a joy to drop our daughter there in the morning, as we know she'll always have such a good day. The staff are so friendly and all take a genuine interest in our child's development, while the daily updates via the app mean we're able to stay connected, even during Covid-19. The rooms are spacious and the garden is absolutely massive, meaning there's plenty of time spent outside. Regular events in the calendar mean there's always something new for the children to experience and learn about, from Halloween to Holi Festival. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Little Bear's on Wanstead Green to other parents.

Very lucky to have this nursery on our doorstep. My son and daughter attend here and love it, the staff are all very lovely and really take care of them. Great outdoor area and sensory room too. Would highly recommend.

Little Bear's on Wanstead Green have been fantastic from the beginning and my two year old absolutely loves going there. She eats well, is never bored and is well taken care of by the lovely staff that she adores. I have seen so much development from my little girl and can see how much she's grown as a person from being there. I would recommend Little Bear's on Wanstead Green to anyone who is looking for a friendly, caring and professional nursery.

My daughter attended Little Bear's on Wanstead Green between the ages of 11 months - 2 years old. The team were super friendly and caring towards her. The managers are great, very approachable and had genuine care for our child. The girls in the room were wonderful, so caring and took great care in helping our daughter develop into the confident bright girl that she is. The fear of my baby crying when we drop her off was swiftly gone, she greeted them all with open arms and would always talk about them at home. We had her taken out of the setting because we moved across London otherwise would have stayed. I would highly recommend this nursery setting and they have really made a great impact on her early year's development.

Lovely nursery with excellent facilities and a caring, nurturing environment. Everyone knows my child and takes an interest in them, including the managers. Very well organised and run with a very helpful management team. Very happy to send my child here knowing they are well looked after and cared for.

The nursery settled our child in very well despite the difficulties surrounding Covid and have taken all appropriate measures. The outdoor space is amazing and regularly used. The food menu makes the adults quite envious!

Excellent nursery, all the staff take such an interest. Everyone seems to know my daughter, even those who don’t look after her on a daily basis. Management also excellent, really responsive and always have time for any questions. My daughter has also really come on development-wise and settled in very quickly.

Our 3-year-old daughter has been coming here since September and we couldn’t ask for her to be better settled. She loves going to nursery and she talks fondly of the staff. Through the nursery app, I receive regular feedback of her activities and “moments”, her eating and sleeping and in addition, the staff are always proactively sharing information. The nursery does a wonderful job of taking the children out into the community: the park, library, church and more. The best thing is the caring, positive and active environment Little Bears has created. We are very very happy!

Our experience with Little Bears has been excellent. The staff are caring, friendly and our daughter is very happy. We are impressed by the breadth of activities our daughter does, the bond she has made with her key worker. The food is great too - would thoroughly recommend it.

All the staff has been so caring and attentive over the years, not only with the children but also with the parents. They have always been available to discuss, providing guidance when required. He is now a confident pre-schooler, and that has a lot to do with his time at Little Bears. On top of that, the management goes above and beyond for the children, organising regular outings, themed days, creating activities at nursery but also for the children to take home. Our son is always in their office “helping”.

I really recommended that nursery school.

We’ve had a great experience - the staff are extremely attentive and clearly care a lot about the children.

My review was very positive – having had my elder child at a different nursery (generally well regarded but sadly our experience was not good – my son had developmental issues, later diagnosed with autism, and he was not well supported at all) I am having a hugely better experience with Little Bears. I think the higher levels of experience and low turnover among the staff, as well as the fact that the nursery is small, makes for a very expert and stable environment where the children are well known as individuals by everyone. It’s been great so far!

A calm, welcoming, professionally run nursery. Very attentive staff including the management who take time to get to know each child individually. Brilliant activities for the children including a huge garden for everyone to enjoy. I can’t fault the care my son gets, his development has come on a great deal in the time he’s been there, this is all down to the time and energy invested by the staff.

Thank you for all your hard work!

My nephew has been attending this nursery for almost a year now - impeccable service and care of the children. Would recommend to anyone.

The hunt for a nursery for our daughter was much more difficult than we had expected given the location. After having visited all of the local nurseries we were disappointed in some way or another, space, hygiene, staff, but Little Bears on the Green was a just amazing all around. From the moment we walked in we felt it was right and our daughter showed interest which she hadn't in the previous nurseries. 8 months later, that decision has not been regretted. Our daughter enjoys the nursery, staff are great, meals great, and she has shown good progress in her development. Best of all the staff turnover is low so the children stay familiar with the staff. Facilities are great and we get updates throughout the day of the child's progress. Management is friendly and approachable and the location is convenient for access by car, underground and buses whichever you choose.

My youngest son was very happy here. The staff were sensitive to his needs and worked with us. The nursery has a friendly and homely atmosphere in which the children thrive. Highly recommended.

My one year old has been at Little Bears since October and I could not be happier with the nursery. The staff provide so much love and affection for him, which is the most important thing for me. They care about his happiness and also his development. I think this is also helped by how they keep the room numbers small, six in the baby room. The app which provides daily updates (including cute photos) and detailed reports of the little one’s day is fab, so I can check any time how he’s doing. The management are very available and responsive to any queries. They seem to really like involving parents in nursery life which is lovely. When they have a party for a celebration, such as Halloween or Christmas, the effort that goes into making the nursery look spectacular for the children is amazing. Very grateful for this place.

We found that this nursery is very well equipped and the staff are very caring and knowledgeable. Food is varied and of a very high standard.
