We can see a huge difference since he started nursery. He is so happy.
Our queries are also answered in a timely manner.
Little Bear’s has been amazing with our son since day one. Our son adjusted immediately and has taken to his carers like a fish to water!
The level of attention and care has met our expectations on so many levels and our son cannot wait to attend nursery in the mornings. He is happy when he goes in and joyful when we collect him.
We have also observed new developmental milestones, particularly with speech. Our son is no longer anxious and frustrated with attending nursery and we will be forever grateful for the care, love and patience that our son experiences at Little Bear’s.
I am absolutely in love with Little Bear's Nursery. The quality of service is exceptional. The staff are friendly, caring and helpful. My daughter loves going to nursery and it's amazing how well she's picked up good habits since starting with the nursery. She has learnt so much in such a small period of time, and that proves to me that the nursery do all they can to encourage, entertain and support her. They maintain a clean environment, whilst ensuring to give you frequent updates on your child's progress daily and monthly. Feels like you're a part of their family. I'm proud to have my daughter attend Little Bears, and I will always recommend it.
The children's developmental and academic progress reports are thorough, which is also demonstrative of the dedication of the staff to the children's development. Our children have been thriving and have developed greatly at Little Bears in gaining independence, confidence, and curiosity, developing their empathy, learning to do simple and difficult tasks. In addition to what we teach them at home, our children's carers are kind, empathetic, and devoted to their wellbeing, and our children love them!
All of the staff have taken such good care of our daughter. They were so supportive during the settling in period with a dedicated key person providing reassurance for our daughter and us. They have always shown her love and care and she has such a fun time learning and playing at nursery all thanks to the fantastic team of staff.
The setting is very modern and has a nice big outside space for the kids to play in.
I would highly recommend Little Bear's nursery.
Our child is happy attending Little Bear's. He enjoys himself during his stay, knows all the staff by name and never mentions anything negative. He feels at home there. This speaks to the intimate environment created at the centre by management and staff. We are reassured by our son receiving this high level of attention and care.
My son has been with Little Bear's nursery for almost 2 years now. I’ve seen his abilities grow rapidly and consistently. He has amazing speech, his ability to listen to instructions gets better every time he comes home from nursery. His social skills are amazing and I’m very happy with his capacity to learn things such as letters, phonics, numbers and independence. The care workers are so patient and loving. We've loved our experience from day one.
My 3-year-old child started attending this nursery in January 2020 and I am really happy with his progress. When he first started he would cry and scream at the door, three weeks on he runs inside excited, happy and greets every practitioner by their names. My child has also learnt new things which he practices at home. The staff are really helpful, friendly and understand the needs of your child. An excellent nursery, I would highly recommend.
My daughter has been attending Little Bear's in Elephant for nearly a year and it's been an incredible experience for all of us!
We were concerned about making the leap from a fairly isolated (Covid lockdown) home life to nursery, but it was a very smooth transition. All the staff were (and still are) very supportive, patient and caring, which made things very easy.
The classrooms are bright and full of super fun activities, which has all helped with her learning and confidence, most notably in her language and use of crayons/pencils etc.
And it's all-inclusive, so great value.
We couldn't be happier with our choice of nursery!
The settling sessions went very well. Little Bear's In Elephant Central staff were very accommodating to how my son would be feeling on the day, which allowed him to settle in perfectly. The staff were very friendly, which made us both feel very welcomed. I can definitely see an improvement in terms of my son's development, he wants to talk more and communicate with expressions. The nursery is always finding ways to improve his self feeding skills and they communicate with me strategies they have tried using and what has worked well for them.
My little boy had a great settling time and felt comfortable very, very soon. He is excited to go to the nursery every morning and jumps around when we arrive there in the morning. Also, the staff are very considerate about his special needs and we are very happy to have chosen this nursery for him.
My son’s first day at nursery was great, he was made to feel very welcomed and he settled in like he had been there for months, the staff really came down to his level and supported and interacted with him for the whole day, he was sad to leave when it was time to go home. I looked forward to seeing his growth and development at this new establishment
