Bluebear

Exceptional nursery and pre-school

My 9 month old son is currently in the Blue Bear "baby room". My daughter attended Blue Bear pre-school before starting school and the Blue Bear experience was always, and continues to be exceptional!
Whether you're looking for a "home from home" environment for the baby days, or a great foundation prior to school, Blue Bear has the lot.
I know my children are well cared for and thoroughly enjoy each and every day here.
Returning to work was an apprehensive time for me but Blue Bear takes away any concerns over the welfare of my children.
All the staff are friendly, helpful and also take the time to look after Mum! All the Blue Bear team show a real understanding and care for children and parents.
I cannot rate Blue bear pre-school and nursery highly enough, if you're looking for quality care, look no further.....

Home from home

Whenever I go to Blue Bear I always feel it is such a welcoming and friendly environment. All the staff make you feel welcome and always have time at the beginning and end of the day. My grandson has settled so well and it is lovely to see him make friends and grow in confidence. He clearly holds the staff in very high regard! I would recommend the nursery without hesitation.

Fantastic nursery for my little girl

My daughter has attended blue bears since she was 8 months old. From the moment I left her on that first day I have been completely happy with every aspect of her care which means I can go to work knowing my daughter is happy and well looked after. She is alway eager to go into nursery every morning and waves goodbye saying bye bye mummy. As an early years teacher I thought carefully about where I wanted my daughter to go to nursery and I am so happy I picked Blue Bears as they look at my child as an individual, how she learns and what she enjoys doing. I can't believe how grown up and confident she is. The staff work so hard and I always feel welcome. The online learning journal is amazing, I love getting videos and photos of what my daughter has been up too and it is brilliant that I can comment and upload my own pictures and videos.

Review of the Nursery

My daughter attends Blue Bear nursery and in every way it is outstanding. The care they provide is amazing in terms of the love they have for the children, the interaction with both the children and the parents and their never ending hard work in terms of developing the children and making them ready for primary school.
As a fellow professional working in education, OFSTED is often the benchmark used to analyze an educational establishment's success. This of course is important and to parents of Blue bear children it was obvious they were going to do well which they of course did. However, like all parents of young children you get a vibe when you enter any nursery and all I can say is that the positivity that comes over you when you enter Blue Bear nursery is overwhelming.

The staff are lovely and it is clearly a very well ran establishment. All children have their own specific needs and they always acknowledge this and give parents consistent and very informative feedback.
The cleanliness and resources of the nursery are out of this world and it is clearly a reflection of the shear hard work that the staff put in. They are very flexible and acknowledge that many parents work full time which was ideal for us as a family.

I cannot recommend this nursery highly enough to any potential parents out there, please go and have a look and meet the lovely staff, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic Pre School and Nursery!

All 3 of my children attended Blue Bear Pre School and Nursery (my third child is still there now) and without hesitation, I would highly recommend it to anyone. All my children have been well looked after in a stimulating and caring environment, which meets all their needs and they have all come on in leaps and bounds. The resources and equipment are excellent and the outdoor play area is by far the best I have ever seen. The staff are friendly, helpful and fantastic with the children. My child goes into Nursery happy and comes out happy. She has grown and developed so much in the last year that she has been there. Anyone who is looking for only the best Nursery for their child, look no further!

A rounded and positive nursery experience.

As a family moving into the area, Blue Bear was recommended to us by former pupils' parents and has come to be a crucial factor in our daughter's development. The nursery is strongly rooted in the community being a continuous source of reassurance and confidence for her.
Blue Bear have a good method for charting development against the EYFS curriculum, all of which is continuously communicated to us as parents, helping us to see our daughter's academic progress and areas with which we can be involved and supportive at home.
Our daughter, also, thinks the world of her key worker! This in itself speaks for the nursery as we have found there to be a personalised and caring attitude to her as an individual. In that vein, any concerns we have had have been listened to and responded to effectively and promptly.
We have certainly been very happy with our Blue Bear experience but, most importantly, our daughter is happy and thriving in this environment.
