Review from Tina L (Mother of Child) published on 4 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My daughter has been at Bear Hugs Nursery for three months months now and has really enjoyed her time. All of the staff has been very professional, caring and attentive to her needs. She gets to play and explore so many different activities (some that I would not have thought of!). Everyday she comes back with a craft project that she is very proud of. I really like that she is safe, learning and I am able to see updated on the app on her daily activities, including photos. It is a wonderful nursery and I would highly recommend this to any parent.

Review from S R (Father of Child) published on 5 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

As my son is 2 and half and he joined the Nursery on Sep and due to his health it was not possible for him to go to nursery but also we keep communicating the staff and when he started its very hard for him to adopt the new environment but all the staff are very very helpful to settle down my son. Every day is struggle for me to drop to school but I am relaxed when I get update about my son from staff. He is in right place where he is looked after properly. Thank you to all once again.

Reply from Darcy Potton, Manager at Bear Hugs Day Nursery Timbercroft

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're really glad to hear that our team has helped your son settle in and that you feel reassured. It's a pleasure to care for him, and we're here to support you both every step of the way!
