Busy Bees at Wanstead Green

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.

A lovely nursery - all the staff are so caring and loving towards our little boy and he has come on leaps and bounds since being there!

We couldn’t be happier with our choice of nursery and the care that our little one receives - it has definitely made going back to work easier knowing he is content there!

A wonderful and positive environment! The staff are very loving and do a wonderful job taking care of and teaching the kids. It was obvious that the nursery had our son’s well being, learning, and social emotional growth as a priority. My son loved going to this nursery. Would highly recommend this nursery.

We have been delighted with Little Bear's on the Green since our daughter started here when she was 11 months old. The staff are caring and attentive and have all taken the time to get to know our daughter, regardless of whether they work directly alongside her or not. The nursery has a full range of activities, including outdoor and messy play that our daughter really seems to enjoy. The notifications from the management are very helpful and we appreciate the range of activities they do to include parents. We would highly recommend this nursery as a child care setting to any parent.

I am going to be very sad that my son won't be there next year as he is going to be at Primary school.

I have trusted Little Bear's on The Green with looking after my children for the last 5 years and they are GREAT! My eldest attended this nursery and my youngest is currently there.

I have always been impressed with the care and attention staff have given to the children and the kids always look like they've had a great time by the end of the day. They offer various activities throughout the week (football, French, yoga etc) and the food is fresh and very tasty. They have a large, shaded garden at the back which the kids can use every day.

The communication between nursery and parent is frequent so you're always up to date on how your child is doing. Additional activities such as Halloween/Christmas parties are always a hit and a great opportunity to meet other parents too.

I'll be sad to see my son leave when he starts school next year but I know he's grown into a confident and bright little boy thanks largely in part to the wonderful staff at Little Bear's.

One of the best nurseries where she felt like being home. She was so comfortable since the day of her settling. She was always looking forward to meeting her friends and teachers every day. As a mum, I could be the luckiest when she says she wants to stay longer when I go to pick her up which is such a great relief. She was moulded into a confident girl ready to school. Finally, I cannot thank them enough for making her try healthy foods including vegetables and fruits. She left with a lot of good memories. I would greatly recommend this nursery if anyone who wants to leave their kid with the best hands and stay focused on their work without worries.

I am a new parent to this nursery. However, I would like to say the team have made myself and my son feel at home, and are doing everything in their power to settle in my son.

The staff seem to be very experienced and I get updates on my son's wellbeing daily, making me feel comfortable.

Thank you Little Bears.

Both of our children have been really happy at Little Bear’s. They have been well looked after and enjoyed the playtime - especially in the wonderful garden. All of our children’s key carers have bonded well with our children and established lovely relationships.

Caring and friendly staff. A nice, accessible, not-crowded, not-noisy setup where they pay attention to each child. I was happy throughout, for the year when my daughter attended this nursery. Admin staff were also very helpful throughout. I highly recommend them.

Great staff and management. My son came to the nursery with speech therapy problems, now he doesn't stop talking with the help of his key worker. There are many activities that are in place to keep the children occupied and happy. Definitely, recommend this nursery!

They are very welcoming of all families and all the staff know my little boy’s name not just his key worker. This so important because for a first-time mother. My little one loves coming to this nursery and you know this because the parent zone tells me he ate all his food and slept very well. The pictures we receive bring a smile to our faces and make us feel like we are kept involved. The meals are very healthy and nutritious and they have many fun activities to play, themed parties and decorations. Always playing outdoors which is great for the kids to have fresh air. The managers are always in communication with parents. I feel it was the best choice for our little one.

We are so pleased that we chose Little Bears for our son. He has been there since 8 months old and has settled in so well. All the staff are friendly, kind and extremely engaged with respect to his welfare. In addition, they always try their best to be as flexible as possible and to accommodate our wishes for him. We would not hesitate to recommend the nursery to others.

Very happy with the nursery, all the staff are friendly, caring and have built a good relationship with our child.

I am also very happy with the lunch and tea menu used, my son loves his meals at Nursery!

I believe that the nursery provides a brilliant setting and a wide range of activities that ensure all of its children are stimulated, involved and encouraged at all times.

The team worked well with my daughter to get her settled. I am very happy to see that my daughter is now eager to attend the nursery. My child is happy and I received regular updates, so I know she's safe and happy.

We visited about 6 nurseries before our visit to the Little Bear's nursery and all 6 times we felt disappointed. With Little Bear's we accepted the place on the same day. Totally thrilled with our choice.

After nearly 4 wonderful years, my twins are about to embark on their school journey. They have absolutely thrived at Little Bear's and leave with nothing but lovely memories which they will cherish forever. I have watched my children grow from small babies into confident and independent young children. The love, attention and nurturing they have received has been excellent with committed caring and consistent staff backed up by very strong management. The environment is fun and secure with a warm homely feel. Parents are engaged daily with accessible communications, pictures and parent events. My twins have benefitted from the EYFS framework as well as the extracurricular activities such as French, Makaton, football, gymnastics and even yoga. They recall fondly their outdoor excursions such as the trips to the forests, library, park and museums. We thank Little Bear's for everything they have done and wish them all the best!
