We have a one year old and three year old who have been attending the nursery for the last six months. Both are very happy, the keyworkers seem genuinely interested in the children and as excited as we are when they see development. As a parent, I feel it is professionally run and the children's interests are put ahead of profits. Would recommend to anyone.
Excellent staff. Great home-cooked food. Friendly staff. Great activities. My son loves his keyworker and every other member of staff, and you can tell they all love him too. We love this nursery!

I absolutely loved Bear's House Nursery, Hastings and do believe I miss them more than my little one does as we have moved overseas. I only wish we had found them earlier as my daughter had to start nursery quite early. We needed to change nurseries after a long holiday and from the moment I walked into Bears house, I was sold. We turned up towards the end of the day and the 'Honey Bears' room looked surprisingly clean. This is a winner if you are looking for a nursery for a baby and concerned about hygiene. The staff are absolutely brilliant, always smiling and ever ready to answer an anxious mom's questions. They keep us updated on her activities and progress. There are enough activities/facilities that keep the kids entertained. There's a lot of outside play too. I was really happy with the care and support my little one received while here. Highly recommended!

Bear's House Nursery has been brilliant with my daughter for the past three years. Every day they are doing new and fun things and making learning fun. The opening times are really handy and the nursery is really flexible. The staff are brilliant with feedback regarding which activities the children have done and how well they have eaten. They also keep parents updated on Tapestry with pictures and descriptions of what the children have been doing.
So far so good, enjoy on-line reviews.

When I was looking for nurseries I knew as soon as I walked in, that it was perfect. We have had no problems and my daughter loves it. They keep me informed often on her progress in her development. She has a great connection with the staff and I am so happy with the care and support she is given.

Bear House Nursery is such a supportive and welcoming environment with staff always happy. The rules and guidelines are always discussed and altered to which is great for my child's safety and development. Her learning journey has improved since arriving here and has developed very quickly in the new rooms. Thank you so much for everything and being so accommodating with our 5 month son starting next week.

Our daughter loves going to nursery and happily goes to her key worker in the morning. Knowing she is happy means we can leave her with peace of mind. The staff are friendly, caring and kind. There is a good range of toys and outdoor space. The central town location is convenient and parking easy. We appreciate the parents evenings where we get updates on our daughter's progress in key developmental areas. Her key worker keeps a lovely learning journal with photos, observations and records of activities so we feel connected. Observation notes are accurate and well written. Meals are varied and wholesome and well organised. Overall very happy.

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.

I have worked at Bears House for 8 years and achieved my level 3 during my time at college. I love working with children because I find it very rewarding and it's lovely being able to help them achieve and grow as individuals.
I am a Mum of three and enjoy music and singing.

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.
