My son is really happy in his second home. You are caring about all details related to the child to enhance his abilities and I can notice this each day. Thanks so much to let us feel this much confidence in sending our child to such a nice atmosphere.

We love Chairbears Day Nursery! Our son is very happy here. He comes home every day having done lots of messy play and is happy with all the activities. The staff are passionate about their roles, really caring and great at providing detailed feedback. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing and caring nursery. Our two children (along with some neighbour's kids based on our recommendations) attend here, and they love it. Our kids have loved it since day one of settling in. The staff are all so lovely and attentive, and you can tell they really care, which gives great peace
of mind. We also receive daily updates and pics via the app, which is great so feeling involved. Would recommend it to any parent in Deptford.

Both my daughters have attended Chairbears Day Nursery over the past 8 years. It is a lovely nursery with great enclosed space for the kids to play and they offer a range of activities to support their learning. The staff are great and build strong bonds with the children. My daughters have loved their
time there and have developed really well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My younger daughter started last month at Chairbears Day Nursery in the baby room and she is very happy and has settled very well. The staff are wonderful and caring. Staff retention there is great, allowing children to form strong bonds with their key workers and other nursery staff. My older daughter
also attended Chairbears for 2 years and the majority of the staff who were there when she started in 2019 are still there. The resources and activities are also really good and the food menu seems to be pretty varied. Most days we receive photos via an app so we can see what the kids have been up to. I would recommend Chairbears to anyone looking for a nursery in the area.

An enriching, and loving environment. I am confident there was no better place for my son. Since my son started going here, he has learned and developed in so many ways. The staff is absolutely well-trained, skilled and amazing with kids. Thank you for giving me the comfort that there is a place as
good as home. The routine, freshly prepared meals, learning and activities, fun times, outings to the park, cosy sleeping cots tucked away and fun above all are a few of the amazing aspects. Thank you for everything.

We have had a great overall experience so far. The staff in the baby room are all warm, very caring and dedicated. They were super helpful with helping my baby settle in and more recently develop skills to walk. The manager is great, open to feedback, flexible and professional. My daughter loves nursery,
the creative activities, socialising, tasty food and feeling happy and safe with staff. Highly recommend.

My son started to go to the nursery when he was 8 months old and now he is 2 and a half. He enjoys his time and made his first best friends there! We have been very happy with the key workers who have taken care of him in every room he has been in. They teach him how to be independent, help us with
potty training and give lots of cuddles.
As first-time parents, we feel so lucky to leave our precious son in such capable and warm hands.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son attends the nursery twice a week and we have been really happy, especially with the baby room staff. They are prompt to call you if anything out of ordinary happens, they upload pictures and write the benefits of the activities they are doing with the kids and they are very caring. The best feedback
is my son wanting to go back and being excited about it! The only con is the busy road they're located on.

I absolutely love Chairbears Day Nursery for my little one as they are very much focused on the kids learning and development. They are sending daily pictures and updates about our baby's day and that is just amazing! We always have a very detailed account of their day when picking them up and it really
feels like we are working hand in hand so 100000% recommend if you are looking for a nursery. Thank you team! (London is expensive hence why my rating on value for money).

Lovely atmosphere, qualified and friendly staff, full of energy. The nursery gives great opportunities to learn new things, play and have fun. My child has been with them for more than one and a half years now and adores everyone there. There are spacious rooms and nice outdoor/indoor areas with a playground.
The chef preparing meals also does an excellent job providing nutritious fresh dishes.

Review from W R (Father of Child) published on 17 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My child has recently attended their graduation party at Chairbears Day Nursery and I was so overwhelmed by the event that was held.
My child has attended Chairbears full time since pre-pandemic. They are, like we are, part of the incredible Chairbears Family.
The team at Chairbears makes them feel
so incredibly welcomed and safe and as parents, our hearts are content knowing how happy and well cared for they are.
The nursery has faced many challenges over recent years but has always gone above and beyond to offer continuity for the children and families and has adapted extremely well, continuously adapting and improving i.e the forest sessions!
The owner is very involved and the manager and other members of the team all seem very happy and devoted. Many of the teachers have worked at the nursery for a very long time or since the nursery opened. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
Don't be fooled by the front of the nursery. It is deceptively big inside and so so so beautiful!

Our child is very much stimulated and happy in the nursery. What else can we ask for?
The staff are very supportive and engaged in a positive manner with the child's development.
The staff are communicating on a daily basis with parents through a mobile app and in person at the door of the nursery.
Great
place.

Chairbears Day Nursery have made my 12-month-old daughter feel happy and content, she loves being dropped off there and has made lots of little friends as well as having a really good relationship with the staff in her room. The babies learn new things and our daughter has even started doing baby yoga
which she does for us at home! We love Chairbears - I couldn't recommend them more to other parents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the best nursery we have seen so far. The management is very flexible and cooperative. Our son was too attached to us and took a long time to settle but the staff and management have been extremely helpful throughout and settled our child without any pressure. He was very happy at the nursery
after that and loves the people and place. They follow a well-planned routine every day. The nursery is spacious and cleanly maintained. The fees are also very reasonable compared to many other nurseries. Value for money. I would definitely recommend.

My son has settled very quickly in Chairbears Day Nursery. I feel very comfortable with all the staff at Chairbears. Although my son has only attended for 6 weeks. I feel this is quickly becoming his second home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My son started using the Chairbears Nursery since May 2016. I was really satisfied and happy with the support and transition nursery had provided for us to settle our child. The staff are very caring supportive/flexible and take very good care of the children which relieves us in many ways when we go
to work.
This helps us to be very confident about the place we are sending our child to spend his entire day. Management is very caring and attentive and understand our needs and provide the required support and flexibility. We are going to miss this nursery as our son is joining reception this September. All the very best to the nursery. Cheers!!
