My daughter started at Little Bears just before turning two and half years old. We chose the nursery at the time for the setting and its proximity to our home. Parking at drop off and pick up was also never an issue! Living in the area we do, we wanted her to enjoy being out in nature often and Little Bears offered just that. They go on forest walks regularly, visit the care home in Whiteley village, and they have a lovely outdoor playground that they can access every day. We have been so happy with the key workers assigned to our daughter. They have all been so caring, patient and nurturing. My daughter experiences big feelings at times and they have been understanding and proactive in helping her through these. We now have a son and we will definitely sign him up when he turns 2! We definitely recommend Little Bears Whiteley Village.
Looking forward to welcoming you all very soon back to Little Bears.
Warm regardsLittle Bears Management
My son has been attending nursery for a year and he's been thriving! He absolutely loves going in, and always looks forward to it. All staff have been wonderful - they are extremely experienced, nurturing, patient and highly professional. The facilities are great too, plenty of outdoor space...
We are so pleased to have chosen this setting for our boy and are planning on sending our younger child there too once he turns two.

We are delighted with Little Bears nursery, we are so glad we have chosen this nursery for our daughter. The thing we love the most about the nursery is the staff, they all have such a caring, kind, nurturing character. They clearly all love looking after children. They greet all little ones with such a kind smile and enthusiasm each morning. The nursery offer a wide range of activities, and I particularly love how creative their approach is to learning. I would recommend Little Bears to anyone.

Such an amazing nursery. My son has been there since he turned 2 and I watched them help him grow from being a quiet, emotional and shy kid to a super chatty, confident, fun and interactive 4 year old, ready for school! They are so good at understanding kids and providing a nurturing role at first, to one that just lets them be themselves in a fun and family like atmosphere. They really understood my little one through and through, we were so lucky to have found them! Hugely recommended. Not too big a group of kids, outdoor space, beautiful setting, lovely food, lots of fun activities through the year to get families involved. Thanks Little Bears!
I couldn't recommend Little Bears at Whiteley Village enough. The team are fantastic, they take the time to really get to know your child, their likes and dislikes, and are so kind and attentive. Each evening at pick up, the team are excited to tell you about what your child has been up to that...
I couldn't recommend Little Bears at Whiteley Village enough. The team are fantastic, they take the time to really get to know your child, their likes and dislikes, and are so kind and attentive. Each evening at pick up, the team are excited to tell you about what your child has been up to that day, which I find so special. My son has an amazing bond with his key worker, who has gone out of her way to make sure he's happy every day. The children have access to outdoor play every day, and also take part in music and sports classes every week which I love. They also regularly take trips to the pond, for nature walks, and to spend time with the residents at the local care home. My son has come on so far since joining Little Bears. Although he will be sad to leave nursery as he moves on to school, we have already signed our youngest child up to join when he turns two, and I know he will enjoy Little Bears just as much!
We are very pleased and proud to read your views about our setting. Little Bears & it's dedicated staff team work hard to make the nursery a loving, nurturing and rich learning environment for the children. It's our pleasure to watch the little ones grow ready for their next chapter in life. Kindest regards Little Bears

We absolutely adore Little Bears! We currently have two children at the nursery, and our third daughter is already down to start next year. The staff are absolutely fantastic! There's been very little staff turnover in the 3 years my children have been attending the nursery. The staff really care, and they're wonderful with the children - mine have absolutely thrived since they've been there! The setting is lovely, it's green and spacious and feels completely secure. I find it incredibly calming when I drive through the gates into Whiteley Village. The children play playball on the field, go exploring in the forest, and ride their bikes around the patio. It truly is a home from home environment, with exceptional management. We've recommended it to so many friends who love it as much as we do!

A one in million nursery for my daughter, who has loved it from her first day. Her key worker from her first year to her new one now, along with the other staff are excellent, caring and experienced, they teach the children from day one how to be independent and right from wrong, how to be confident and caring and interested in the world! Being located in Whitely Village allows for great walks in the woods and field for sports days, walks and fresh air but the nursery has an excellent sized free flow garden. classes are separate due to age but can still be shared which allows for peer learning and also getting used to seeing other key workers so it’s not such a big shock the next year moving across. The freshly cooked food on site is nutritious and delicious (we know from days such as Mother’s Day breakfast, Christmas plays etc) Allergies are catered for and staff work with parents on routines from home so helping with potty training etc)! Can’t recommend enough!

We are so pleased your daughter is enjoying her time at Little Bears - we are very lucky to have such an amazing environment to be able to operate from - the grounds in the village offer so many opportunities to explore and enjoy an abundance of wildlife!

We are so pleased you have been able to join us for some of our events too. Best wishes, The Little Bears Team
Little Bears is an excellent nursery and I cannot recommend them enough. They know all the children well and have a real ‘home from home’ attitude. They’re kind, flexible and work well with parents. The members of the team all stay for many years and that, I believe, is their biggest testament.

Little Bears really care. Our son has been going for almost two years and he is excelling. He loves it at nursery and not only made great friends but through Little Bears caring and nurturing environment he is becoming a lovely little boy.
The staff and Keyworker are wonderful and understand his needs and challenges, they guide and support while always communicating and chatting with us while giving us daily updates. The environment is lovely, in the middle of a private estate within a forest where outside play is always on the menu.
Our son had been to a couple of other local nurseries where it felt more like a business, Little Bears feels like a family and we couldnt be happier.

My name is Nina Farzaneh and I am the nursery manager for Little Bears Nursery at Whitely Village. I have built up considerable experience in the day-to-day operations and management of both new and established nurseries, having worked with children for 15 years and my role over the last ten years as a key decision maker and member of senior management. I am also a parent so fully understand the importance of choosing the right nursery with the right staff team. We also recognize the importance of our partnership with the parents and children in achieving the best results.
My qualifications include a level 5 diploma in Early Years and Childcare as well as a degree in English studies. I have been fortunate to have spent the last 15 years working in a variety of settings with different Early years philosophies and teaching approaches, different people, cultures and management styles.
This invaluable knowledge and experience has helped to shape the Little Bear’s methodology:• At Little Bear’s, children will be encouraged to develop so that they flourish and achieve their potential.
We are extremely passionate about Little Bear’s and therefore have invested in a staff team that is fully qualified. This ensures that our setting meets all the Early Years requirements at all times and provides high-quality care to children and their families.
We hope that we can demonstrate our vision and approach to childcare by welcoming you to our nursery.
