Little Bears nursery is absolutely fantastic, our daughter started Little Bears in June 2017 and the staff at Little Bears have been amazing, they are all so kind and caring. All the staff know the children so well and provide such person-centred care to all of the children.

The facilities are good and my daughter's eating habits have improved significantly. I would highly recommend this nursery.
It is going to be nearly a year since our daughter started attending this nursery. We are extremely happy not only with the nursery but with how much she loves going there. Before this, she was attending another nursery and although she looked happy then and there, now we can see that Little Bears...
I strongly recommend this nursery, hardworking people with loads of love for the children.
My son started at Little Bears in July and I was amazed at how quickly he settled in. He was so well taken care of, cuddles where given when needed, which I always found very reassuring. Now he loves it so much he says bye to me as soon as I drop him off. The surroundings are lovely with lots of...
My son started at Little Bears in July and I was amazed at how quickly he settled in. He was so well taken care of, cuddles where given when needed, which I always found very reassuring. Now he loves it so much he says bye to me as soon as I drop him off. The surroundings are lovely with lots of outside space and greenery. There is so much on offer for the children here. I highly recommend Little Bears.
The standard of care is excellent and the staff are kind, nurturing and caring.

We have had a wonderful experience at Little Bears. Our daughter has been through three moves in the last year due to unforeseen circumstances and we were worried about how we were going to get her settled into a new place. Little Bears welcomed her with open arms and helped us ease her into another new environment. Three weeks in and she was waking up at the weekends asking to go to school! The team are so lovely, warm and caring and they show the kids so much patience and love. We are very happy with our choice of nursery. Thank you, Little Bears!

Communication is great, the girls listen to everything we mention and nothing is ever forgotten. And at the end of the day you are given a full run through of what they've done, what they've eaten, how long they've napped for. We really are so pleased that we have Little Bears on our doorstep, and have found that our son has thrived and developed so well since starting at Little Bears 4/5 months ago. Would recommend to anyone (and have done so to many friends).
Little Bears is a very welcoming and nourishing nursery. My 2-year-old daughter loves it! The leaders are so good with the kids and my daughter learns so much. I would rate this setting 5 out of 5 and highly recommend!

Our daughter (3) attends Little Bears twice a week and we couldn't be happier with the care that she receives. We chose this nursery on the basis of the fabulous setting within Whiteley Village with more than adequate indoor & outdoor space for little ones to run around in. The fact that it was relatively smaller than some of the other local nurseries, thus providing a more nurturing and inclusive environment, and our confidence in the staff after meeting Nina and listening to her ideas and intentions with regards to the development of Little Bears from a start-up nursery. We haven't been disappointed on any counts; our daughter has thrived since she started (Feb 2017) with a notable improvement in her general understanding and confidence and has developed a great relationship with all of the staff members, a testament to their pleasant, caring and attentive nature. There is a great balance between learning and play and the facilities are fantastic. I would highly recommend it.
Our son has been attending Little Bears Nursery since March 2017. From day one when we went for our settling in sessions, I have found Little Bears to be a warm and welcoming place with such a great open space both inside and outside. The staff are warm, friendly and attentive to my child's needs....
Having not settled well in a prior nursery, he is excited to come to the nursery which I think speaks volumes for this fantastic nursery.

We have been delighted with Little Bears since our son joined in February 2017. Little Bears is tucked away overlooking the picturesque cricket green in the heart of Whiteley Village. Inside the space has been very well planned with areas for toys, role play, a reading corner, and separate chill out area/nap room. Custom built children's bathrooms are also easy to navigate from the main room, making it perfect for potty training. Each day a variety of activities are set out in clusters in the main room for the children. The experienced team are positive and organised and successfully strike the balance between giving me peace of mind as a parent (safety, security, continuous learning and development, genuinely creating an individual approach for my child) as well as a fabulous free-flowing, fun, nurturing and friendly atmosphere. We saw an immediate improvement in language skills and general happiness of our son who is really fond of the staff and setting.

We were (I believe) the first new client to start our 2-year-old with Little Bears in Whiteley Village. I have nothing but praise for all of the staff, whose warmth and kindness made our little boy's start so much easier. The activities he enjoys are many and varied from making cakes, painting, water play and lots of toys, but most excitingly, he has access to the wooded grounds surrounding the nursery - where the staff & children enjoy nature walks. It really is a truly unique setting and the staff take the time to nurture my child, which is such a comfort. I would highly recommend all parents to visit Little Bears.

My daughter has been attending Little Bears nursery since November, my partner and I have noticed a huge change in her speech. They are very good at getting the children to become independent and have them doing everything they are capable of. The staff are amazing and very on the ball with all the children. They have them doing all sorts of crafty bits and bobs and I must say they are very creative!
The first thing that drew us to choose this nursery was the location. I don't feel like my child could be in a safer environment with a huge cricket green on the doorstep of the nursery which is well kept and I believe the children make use of this space too, which in my eyes is a massive bonus.
My child is quite a fussy eater but somehow the staff here manage to get her to eat everything I can't and that I will be forever thankful for.

He is usually a fussy eater but since joining Little Bears, he is eating more and it has helped with his speech, he is behind other children his age with his speaking, however, I have noticed that he is trying to say a lot more words than before.
I am so very happy that we chose to put him in Little Bears at Whiteley Village, he enjoys it there very much. The staff are very friendly. I would definitely recommend other parents in placing their children there.

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 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.
