The staff at Little Bears are amazing, we've been so happy with how our son settled and has progressed since he joined them there. They are welcoming, kind, compassionate, friendly, proactive and a wonderful team to hand out child over to each day he's there.
They act on requests and questions
extremely quickly and are always providing feedback and updates. The variety of activities they provide are brilliant and the resources are always updated.
They do a weekly update on what the children have been doing and also what will be happening the following week. As a parent, this is lovely because children don't always relay what they have been doing each day.

All Year Round Little Bears in Walton-on-Thames has been excellent. Every morning, the children queue up excitedly at the gate and come out happy at the end of the day. My daughter is always keen to tell me about what she has done.
Throughout the week, the children take part in a wide range of
activities, whether it's playing outside, creating arts and crafts, or participating in music and dancing. All of the activities are clearly linked to learning objectives, and as a result my daughter has developed rapidly during her time there.
The team makes a real effort to keep things fresh throughout the year, with various parent-invited events where the children often perform well-rehearsed shows. Over the last year, these have included the Harvest Festival, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and the Christmas show.
The Christmas show was a particular highlight, with the children performing multiple songs and presenting parents with gifts they had made themselves.
An amazing, friendly, and education

Our son has been attending Little Bears for just over a year now, and we couldn't be happier with the nursery. He absolutely loves going in each day and is always excited to arrive. One of his favourite parts is the free-flow outdoor area, which he talks about often and clearly benefits from.
We can
really see how much he has learned through the range of topics covered, and his language development has been excellent during his time there. They have also been amazing in supporting his toilet training.
The staff at Little Bears are wonderful - every member of the team is caring, attentive, and clearly knows each child personally and very well. Their nurturing approach creates such a positive and supportive environment, and it's clear they genuinely care about the children.
We are so grateful for everything the nursery has done to support his development in all areas and would highly recommend to others.

Little Bears provides a home from home environment. My little girl joined in September and has settled in so well. I think a lot of that is to do with the kindness and empathy shown from the team during that settling in period. I could honestly not ask for a better nursery to send my child to, they
have been amazing!

Little Bears is a very nurturing environment - encouraging each child to achieve their full potential. A very supportive, inclusive and fun filled setting. I feel they go the extra mile to make the environment educational, with a wide variety of activities, toys, and games.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Little Bears nursery Walton. The staff are warm, attentive and genuinely care about the children. The environment is safe, nuturing and full of engaging activities, our child has grown in confidence made lovely friendships and always comes home smiling.
Would highly recommend for any parent looking for high quality early year care.

My son has been attending Little Bears for over two years now, and he absolutely loves it. Before joining, he was at another nursery where he struggled. Despite being very sociable, he found it hard to settle due to overcrowded classes and a lack of personal attention. The difference when we moved
him to Little Bears was incredible.
The outdoor space is great, and the indoor area is spacious, which allows for them to group the children in different zones for play and learning.
My son is always learning exciting things, which we see on the app, the newsletter, and hear about at home. Over the past year, the team has helped get him ready for school, and we're so proud of how far he's come.
The educators are exceptional. I don't have kind enough words to express how much we appreciate them. Kind, caring, and approachable. My son adores them, and we've always felt supported as parents.
He'll be starting school this year, and we'll genuinely miss being part of the Little Bears family.

My child had an awful experience at this Nursary it wasn't until we started looking at other Nursary's for him I realised how bad it was. There was a lack of organisation and structure which left him completely unregulated most of the time which led to outbursts and us getting feed back every day
that he was just being aggressive. In the end they told me to look for a quieter setting as I'm sure they just couldn't cope with him. If your child has extra needs do not send them here. The 2 year olds are mixed with the 4 year olds so can be very noisy for the older children and again not a lot of structure or getting ready for school, after our experience my child has actually fallen behind. He's at a new Nursary now and seems to be doing so much better as is a lot more stimulated and with children his age.

My son has been attending Little Bears since April 2024 and settled in very quickly. I'm sure this is due to the lovely staff and how caring and patient they are. We have since increased his days as he asked to go more and always tells me how much fun he's had at nursery!
The little updates are
great and each morning at drop off he can't wait to run inside! I would highly recommend Little Bears. Thank you Little Bears!

My daughter has been attending the nursery for a year. The staff make you feel like part of a family. They are amazing by offering the best support for individual child development. Every day I am confident that my girl is going to receive the best care and support that she can get to flourish.
Thank you to the amazing staff for all the love and care!

We could not recommend Little Bears Day Care highly enough.
We initially selected Little Bears due to its caring family feel, friendly staff, great facilities and good value for money. During our first tour of the nursery, the manager knew every child by name and all kids seemed to be really happy
and well cared for.
Our little girl joined in April and she wasn't speaking much English. However, the staff have been nothing but patient, caring and understanding and have given our daughter so much love and care to help her settle.
5 months later, our daughter is building 3 words sentences. She is so happy when we pick her up. They have lots of entertainment for kids and great outdoor space.
Thank you Little Bears.

Very happy with Little Bears Nursery. My daughter settled in very well, she's eager to go in on her days. The staff are very lovely and very caring towards the children.
21 October 2024
My twin boys started Little Bears in September. They have settled in really well this is mainly down to the care of all the staff and how welcoming they have been to them. They always come home and tell me that they've had lots of fun. They love playing outside on the veranda bit and little garden
area. It is in a really lovely location. Even though the manager is new she has been so welcoming and understanding. I love how we get regular updates every day as to what they have been doing and what they have eaten and nappies changed! Also the email communication and app is regularly used.
I have looked at a few local nurseries and so pleased I chose Little Bears for my boys.

My daughter has just finished her time at Little Bears before going to big school. She has loved going there and always came home telling me stories of the fun things they had done and talking about all her friends. The location is great and I love that they can play on the veranda outside even if
there is rain. The staff have been great always coming up with fun activities which my crafty daughter has loved. I will definitely send my next daughter there when she is old enough. Thank you Little Bears.
29 July 2024
Little Bears has been a wonderful nursery for my son. The setting of the nursery is idyllic and we love how the children get to spend a lot of time outdoors or on the veranda. The nursery always gives us updates on what the children have been up to, from making bread, painting, role-playing, nature
walks and teaching the children about different cultures, job roles, and festivities like Easter and Christmas etc. My son particularly loves snack time! The staff are always kind and welcoming and my son's face lights up when he sees them in the mornings. I couldn't recommend Little Bears enough.
24 January 2024
Such a fantastic nursery. My son age 2 has been with Little Bears in Walton for 9 months and is so happy. They provide an excellent level of care for him, communication is always great and updates on his development are regular. All staff members are super caring and friendly and the manager is
always easy to get hold of. We have an older child so have experienced some local nurseries, but Little Bears has really exceeded our expectations we found the groups are much smaller at Little Bears compared to some other nurseries. They also have a lovely outdoor area surrounded by lots of green.
10 January 2024
The nursery is excellent. All the staff are amazing and offer excellent care. Every day we get a run down on how our daughter has been, how she's eaten and what they have been up to each day.
We would thoroughly recommend Little Bears to all friends and family.
Best review is that our daughter
is always desperate to go back and is so excited each day she is told she is going.

The staff were always tentative to my child’s needs. They accommodated her needs and maintained professionalism throughout our time there. The setting is beautiful and calming. My child was given lots of opportunities to partake in various activities. One of the highlights for us was the presence of
a professional chef, who provided an array of different foods from various cultures too. Highly recommended.
02 August 2023
Very nice nursery. Amazing staff. My son feels great. He is constantly learning new things. He started talking. Little Bears is the best place for it. The teachers are always smiling and helpful.
20 July 2023
Our daughter started Little Bears Day-Care in June this year and we are absolutely thrilled with her progress already. We were particularly impressed with the settling-in process and how the staff made us feel at ease at all times throughout, which was so comforting being this was a whole new
experience for us as a family! Our daughter is always looking forward to attending preschool each week and talks a lot about it at home. Little Bears has a lovely home-from-home feel and the staff are fantastic! I highly recommend Little Bears.
