Since starting at Hygge Bears Nursery, we have seen incredible progress in our son Akin. His speech and language, fine motor skills, gross motor skills and confidence have come on in leaps and bounds.
The team are compassionate and understanding when family circumstances arise and are flexible
where possible, which means a lot to us. Akin now attends 3-4 days a week because the progress and happiness we see in him is so evident.
The biggest sign of how much he loves it is that he runs into nursery excited every morning. He is always well fed, and the staff communicate brilliantly with detailed daily reports about what he has been doing and how he is developing.
Whether the weather is terrible or great, I know he will have had a valuable day singing, playing and spending time with his friends. We are so grateful to the wonderful team at Hygge Bears - thank you from the bottom of my heart. I only wish it had been available for my older two children.

I can not fault Hygge nursery. Every member of staff is friendly, kind and treats you with respect as a parent. They work in partnership with you to help your child develop and grow in their surroundings. It's a very nerve wracking experience leaving your child for the first time but everyone's
personal touch made it so much easier. I'm constantly updated and my messages are always picked up quickly. The surroundings of the nursery are like no other, the children get a home from
Home experience whilst being able to explore outside and the animals everyday whatever the weather. The staff are up to date with emergency protocols, safeguarding and early development. I feel completely at ease leaving my daughter here and didn't think I'd ever say that being a worrier. All my family members that have picked my daughter up have all said how amazing the nursery and staff are. If I could give 10 stars I would!

This nursery is really special. The team have developed such a unique, thoughtful, educational and caring environment. Our toddler gets so much out of her sessions at Hygge Bears; she thrives being outdoors on the farm, taking part in creative activities, and trying a range of different foods at
mealtimes. We find the team really proactive and responsive with their communication. They genuinely see each child as an individual and are happy to work with family members to create the best experience for children. We have recommended Hygge Bears to lots of friends, colleagues and neighbours. If you're considering them then run don't walk, we can't recommend them enough!

Our son started at the nursery four weeks ago and we have already been so impressed with the experience. The setting is absolutely wonderful, with access to the farm and so much outdoor land for the children to explore and learn from. It's such a unique environment and perfectly suited to our son,
who loves being outside and discovering new things.
The opportunities the children have to connect with nature and the farm are fantastic and something you don't often find in other nurseries. It really encourages curiosity, confidence, and hands-on learning.
The staff have also been brilliant from the very beginning. They are warm, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. They've helped our son settle in quickly and always keep us informed about his day.
We're really happy we chose this nursery and feel confident that our son is in a nurturing, engaging environment where he can learn, play, and thrive.

We couldn't be happier with the care and support our child has received at this nursery. From the very beginning, the team went above and beyond to help him settle, taking the time to understand his individual needs and making the transition feel calm, positive and reassuring. The staff are
incredibly kind, patient and attentive, and it's clear how much they genuinely care about the children. Our child has grown in confidence, happiness and curiosity. The activities are engaging, the environment is nurturing, and communication with parents is excellent. We feel extremely lucky to have found such a wonderful nursery and would recommend it wholeheartedly to any family.

My granddaughter recently joined Hygge Bears Nursery; she had a one week adaptation period, which made her and us feel more comfortable. Hygge Bears nursery is located by Foxhole farm, making it ideal as we wanted our little one to have a nature-based learning, with hands-on experiences like animal
interaction, planting, and outdoor activities, fostering confidence, curiosity, and a love for nature alongside high-quality childcare setting.
We couldn't be happier with the care our 18-month-old granddaughter has received thus far. Aaron, Gail, Maddie and the other staff members are incredibly kind, caring and attentive. They always provide excellent attention and create a safe, nurturing environment where our little one and other children can thrive.

We honestly couldn't be happier with this nurser. The staff are absolutely amazing and genuinely care so much about the children. Parker absolutely loves going in every day, which says everything. We receive regular updates and observations, so we always know how she's getting on and what she's been
up to, which is so reassuring as a parent.
The facilities are fantastic, and one of our favourite things is how much time they spend outside. Parker especially loves being around the animals - it's such a lovely, nurturing environment and you can really see how much thought goes into the children's experiences.
The owner has been incredible to our family, especially after going through a very tough time. The kindness, understanding and support shown to us has meant more than I can put into words and has truly made life with Parker so much easier during that period.
We honestly couldn't thank them enough and wouldn't recommend this nursery highly enough.

Having done research for a nursery for my 18 month old I was so happy to come across Hygge Bears. The fact it's set on a farm and the amount of outdoor play and learning was a big positive for me. Kids spend a lot of time in educational 'class rooms' so I didn't want this for my daughter at this
age. The learning on the farm and just being outdoors has been great and she now absolutely loves animals and puddles!!
My daughter's trying new foods as the food provided is such a great variety! I wish I had as nutritious lunches!
The staff are really caring and really help settle my 'clingy' 18 month old, and she now runs in everyday excited to see her friends, learn and play.
I can't rate this nursery high enough, the team are all superb and the communication is great.

Could not be happier with how my son has settled in and grown since moving to the nursery in mid December. Staff are very genuine and lovely people led by the owner of the nursery. A real person, not just a cog in a large corporate behemoth. Food is locally sourced and of high quality and my boy
loves it. The nursery is always spotless and lots of care is clearly taken. The significant amount of outdoor play time at the farm is fantastic as well as the occasional use of the soft play on site.

Our experience at Hygge Bears could not be better. My child has settled really quickly and all staff have taken the time to get to know my child and understand what they love and encourage their development in a really positive way.
The environment is wonderful, with fabulous new resources and
access to wide open outdoor space and engagement with the animals on the farm.
Overall could not be happier with our experience and would advise anyone to visit the setting to understand what sets this nursery apart from a traditional setting.
