The staff are always professional and do their best. I get daily detailed feedback at a great standard including all the information I could possibly need. I get regular app updates showing me new skills he has learned. Communication with bumps or knocks always comes through crystal clear on an accident sheet, my boy can be a little accident prone so I do get a few of these.
I couldn't think of anywhere else I would want my children to come to learn everything they need to before going to school.
Thank you to all the staff, you are all great.

We love looking at the app to see what he's been doing, and they are always doing such creative things with the children. They are very caring, and it makes our lives so much easier knowing he enjoys his time there and is well looked after by them all.
Bears House Nursery is by far the most friendliest and warming team going to miss everybody so much. Once my son starts going September it won’t be the same. I’m gonna miss everybody as much as he will. Also thank you to you all for being such wonderful kindhearted people.

Brilliant day, thanks so much for all the effort the team made to make this special occasion a memorable one! I enjoyed the graduation ceremony the most and the thoughtful keepsakes that have been personalised for each child. Thank you so much!

My daughter had the most wonderful graduation. The team put in so much effort into making the day special for all the little’s from graduation snacks (decorated to look like graduates) to gift bags including a memory stick with all their learning journey from their start date. All the little touches and play stations before the graduation made the day easy and enjoyable. Can’t thank the team enough!

When my son was diagnosed with a fair few allergies, they accommodated him straight away. He was diagnosed with autism while in preschool and they understood his needs and helped him to grow a lot.

Our twins attend Bear's House and we couldn't be happier. They love all the staff who support them with everything from being silly and laughing to learning how to eat properly and say please.

My children came here after a bad experience at another nursery. Within a very short space of time they both felt safe and happy. Staff truly love their jobs and the children, and as a parent I feel extremely comfortable leaving my children in their care.

I have worked at Bears House for 11 years. I completed my college placement within the setting, joined as bank staff and have progressed to nursery Manager within this time.
I was always passionate about childcare and knew from a very young age I wanted to follow this career path.
I love watching children grow and observing their development thrive. I believe the Early Years are the most important time of a child's education. I have an extremely confident and amazing team that provides a warm, welcoming environment sharing their knowledge and passion each and every day.

I was a room lead in our Baby room, then promoted in December 2021 to Deputy Manager. I have worked in the childcare sector since 2009. Working with children is something I knew I wanted to do since I was little. Watching the children grow and have a positive impact on their life is something that continues to make me thrive at my job. My little girl has been at Bears House since she was 8 months old, she surprises me every day with things she has learnt whilst being at nursery. She thoroughly enjoys coming to the nursery and has built good relationships with everyone in the setting.

I have been part of the Bears House family for 5 years. I have been in the baby room from the very start and I am now the Lead of the Honey Bears Room. (0-1Year)I am very passionate about providing the best quality care for our youngest Bears House family members and helping them to develop and reach their full potential.
I am very lucky to be able to have my 10-month-old son here with me also, allowing me to watch him thrive alongside his peers.
I love to get creative with my cubs by providing lots of messy activities to display in our room and send home to their loved ones.

I have been at Bears House for 12 years. I first started as Maternity Cover which lead me to progress to a full-time job. During this time I gained a level 3 in my early years. I received a promotion to Preschool room lead.It's wonderful watching children develop and learn new skills. I love seeing children get creative and use their own ideas and imagination to create their own masterpieces.
I believe that children learn most effectively when they are actively involved in what they are doing.

I have been working at Bears House Nursery since October 2021. I received my qualification in childcare in 2019 through an apprenticeship I started in 2018. Though I did not originally plan for a career in childcare, I have found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences possible.
I love helping children develop the foundations of happy, curious and inquisitive minds, eager to learn and explore the wider world around them as they continue their journey onwards, beyond their early years of education.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching films, listening to music, collecting records and writing my own novel.

After college and university, I did work experience with a variety of ages of children whilst working full time. I decided I wanted a change from retail so applied for an apprenticeship in Brighton. I worked there for 2 years in the baby room and Toddlers before moving to Bears House. This role is very rewarding and I laugh every day with the children.
Outside of work I enjoy playing the guitar and piano as well as learning languages. I am conversational in Spanish and also learning French and Russian.
