Busy Bees in Wanstead Village

profound impact on my child's early development and growth. I have been constantly amazed by the creativity and variety of activities, both educational and fun, that my child has enjoyed each day. Moreover, the open communication between the staff and parents is outstanding. The team gives regular updates on my child's progress, always keeping me in the loop on activities, events, and any other important information. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Lovely nursery with great staff. My son really enjoys it. Lots of activities and good outdoor space too. Also great that there is also a chef onsite with freshly cooked meals. Very happy we chose Little Bears.

A lovely nursery, which accommodates all your child's needs. My child was very unsettled starting the nursery but the staff made me and him feel at ease and made the whole process as easy and comfortable as possible. Overall outstanding. Great communication and an excellent approach to your child's needs.

This nursery is amazing, the staff and management are just so lovely kind and caring. Since my son started the nursery they have been really attentive to my son's development needs that I have raised concerns about, they do everything in their power to help me and my son. My son also has allergies and always have an alternative for him. They are genuine people and have the kindest of hearts and really do take good care of my son which makes me really happy. I don't have a bad word to say about this nursery. I highly recommend it.

Lovely nursery with excellent staff. My baby loves going! Lots of stimulating activities are planned every day and resources and equipment are of high quality. Staff go over and above what is expected to make my baby's experience a good one. Food is freshly made which gives peace of mind. I would highly recommend this nursery.

The staff at Little Bears are exceptional. Everyone always gets a warm welcome at the drop off and pick up and you get a feeling that the staff genuinely care for their parents and children. It is a pleasure visiting.

My son has been at Little Bears since September and he has developed so fast. He spotted one of the ladies from his room on the bus and his face lit up with big smiles. I think that says it all! Keep doing what your are doing Little Bears. Its working!

Have 2 children in Little Bears and they love it, have never been upset about going to nursery and love all their teachers and friends! They eat better than I do and Little Bears has now taken care of 4 of my wider families children with another one signed up for 2023.

This is a top-notch private nursery. My son has attended since he was 10 months old going through the various different rooms. He has been effectively trained in various aspects and we're very impressed with his development. He is a happy child and loves attending this nursery. We've never had any issues with this nursery and would highly recommend it.

Lovely nursery, attentive staff, and lots of stimulation for children. My daughter has been attending since she was one and a half years old and she has developed very well. Daily updates are provided on her day. I would definitely recommend this setting to other parents

A well-run nursery with excellent facilities and kind and dedicated staff. My son has excelled here since we pulled him out of another much closer nursery where we were not happy with the quality of the staff or leadership.

We love Little Bear's and our daughter is so happy there. The staff have all been really helpful and caring, and the facilities and rooms the children learn in are large, inspiring, creative spaces. The garden is great. We'd really recommend the preschool to all families.

Lovely and friendly nursery, very clean, my daughter always leaves the preschool happy and the children are all happy too - rarely do I see a child cry - compared to the other nursery where my other daughter went which was the opposite which makes a nice change. The Christmas Concert was so lovely, especially after the pandemic, the staff are considerate of my access needs by giving me prints out of the speech and songs/lyrics and providing many activities and a lovely outdoor garden space. They do lots of arts activities and my three year old daughter has become really independent in going to the toilets, understanding hygiene and oral health, putting stuff away etc. The staff made an effort to learn sign language as well as both my husband and I are deaf too.

We are so delighted with our experience of Little Bears. Our son started at eleven months and from day one the transition into nursery has been seamless. All of the staff are absolutely amazing and our son adores them… he’s always smiling when we arrive in the morning. The rooms have a real home-from-home feel and our son is developing so well through all the activities that he gets involved with. It has been the greatest relief when returning to work to see just how happy he is and how well he is taken care of. We love Little Bears.

My kids moved to Little Bear's when we moved house recently. They loved their old setting so I was concerned about how they would settle. Within days they were skipping into their rooms. The staff are so warm and friendly and clearly very experienced. The activities are varied and they both come home full of stories from their day. Thank you Little Bear's for looking after my little ones so well.

We love it here, all the staff are absolutely wonderful and I felt like they got to know our son so quickly and everyone really cares for every single little person in there. He’s only been going for a few months and has already made great leaps in his development, and become much more confident around other children (and adults).

My son is so happy here. He is learning so quickly from other babies and from his room leaders, an everyone really cares about all the children. They all know his name (even leaders from other rooms) and take the time to say hello and wave. There are lots of different activities during the week and the food is varied and different. It is very reassuring that he is so happy and settled here.

We joined Little Bears four months ago after a bad experience at a local nursery.

Right from the beginning (the tour of the nursery) the staff and manager were friendly, informative and supportive.

There is a clear curriculum and the staff implement this through the activities they do with the children. They use a variety of toys to stimulate different skills and senses. Our son has learnt a lot already and thoroughly enjoys his time at nursery.

Being a medic, I was very impressed with the nursery's covid procedures during the pandemic. They stood out from other local nurseries. Not only did they have strict policies in place but they made sure they were implemented. Information was sent throughout and guidelines set out clearly for the parents to follow. They are very cautious with illness in general and do their best to keep all the children safe!

Thank you to all the staff and the manager at little bears.

I’d highly recommend this nursery.

Thank you all for all your hard work!

We are so happy with Little Bears. Our little girl started there just after turning one, and was quite upset to be separated from me, she took a bit of settling in. The nursery team were always kind and reassuring both to me and to our little one, and it was always reassuring to know she was in good hands. I found the settling sessions really helpful and it was great to see that the team in the toddler room clearly enjoy working with all the children in their care. Our little girl is now starting to be excited to be coming to nursery and has formed a good bond with her key worker. She is much more independent now, and is running around and starting to play with other children. I couldn’t speak more highly of the team at Little Bears.
