An incredible find.
My daughter joined Bearsprings when she was 1 1/2. The day my daughter and I arrived for a setting in day we both felt so relaxed and both Ruby and Ursala made what could have been a very stressful morning extremely loving and calm.
It is a very small group of children that attend Bearsprings. I felt reassured that the children were very looked after and not diluted in a larger setting.
Ruby and Ursala always made sure my daughters educational and emotional needs were met. Getting her school ready by teaching sounds and pre writing skills.
They would make sure the children also had a good understanding of emotional health by using different stories books or modelling and encourage the correct behaviour.
My daughter would happily skip into Bearsprings every morning with out even looking back. Always happy.
Bearsprings is a great setting with a wide range of role play toys educational toys abs fun things for the children to do. Celebrating all cultural events.
I was very confident that my daughter was in the best place everyday. The communication between setting at home was incredible too. Constantly keeping us updated on what the children are doing or giving next steps to help at home too.
I would highly recommend Bearsprings. We are so lucky to have found Ruby and Ursala because after being there so long I feel like they have become part of our family.
Even in lockdown they would send videos of stories and just making sure the children had some sort of normality. Above and beyond what was expected.
Thank you so much Ruby and Ursala. We will miss you incredibly but know you are always there if we need.

Dear Maureen,
Thank you so much for your very kind and thoughtful review.
Your daughter changed from being a bubbly non-verbal one-and-a-half-year-old into an eloquently spoken four-and-a-half-year-old. She embraces everything she experiences with enthusiasm and loves being challenged. She is indeed school ready in every way and will make an excellent start, as she can already read and write simple sentences.
As one of our original children, your daughter bonded well with her peers and also treated us like family. We will miss her dearly and really enjoyed the day she recently visited us with her little sister.
We remember her always wanting to dress up for every celebration and role modelling songs and dances for all our performances. She would always come in with a smile and greet each child / adult individually. During lockdown you supported her at home and shared all her achievements with us through video calls and messages. This helped us to remain connected and there were no issues with resettling her when she returned.
Three and a half years have flown by and we have had loads of fun along the way. Her journey will now continue at school where we are confident, she will thrive and make new friends.
Best wishes and stay in touch.
Lots of love,
Ursala & Ruby xx
