My son had serious attachment issues, couldn't nap unless it was with me, would scream if anyone else even looked at him and I was still breastfeeding and we had tried different settings to which we eventually were told they couldn't help as he just wouldn't settle but Ruby and Ursala at Bearsprings were happy to give us a chance and make my little boy fit in and feel comfortable.

From the moment we walked in to have a look at the setting I felt like I was already part of the Bearsprings family. It was so clean and organised and the toys all looked so well taken care of. The main room is nice and big with such well used space and so bright and inviting. Lovely large garden for kids to play in too.

Ruby and Ursala knew how anxious I was about leaving Josh and they were so great at communicating throughout the day as well as putting my mind at ease so I could carry on with my day and know he was being loved and looked after. They are so kind and loving towards all the children while still being the most professional childminders I have come across so far. They go over and above to help where they can.

Joshua has made some great friends there and we are so sad to be leaving the setting but will be sending my second child there one day without a doubt and hope to maintain the lovely relationship we have built with the ladies at Bearsprings.

I honestly believe Joshua has benefited so much from having gone there and I can see how much they have helped him become the strong, kind and confident boy he is now. He learned so much while there and often came home telling me he wants to go to 'school' again.

We would just like to thank you all at Bearsprings for all you have done for us and would highly recommend anyone to send their little ones there.
