My Availability

Monday to Friday
I offer flexible childcare, this is where short notice parents can call us for a one-off place for their child on any day in the week. This can be for parents who work shifts and only require childcare on the odd occasion or if a parent wishes to be child free for a few hours once in a while or if they have an appointment. We are only able to offer an unplanned place if I remain within my adult to child ratio, as I am limited to the number of children I can have at any one time. This can be arranged on the day or beforehand, for this service the charge is £9.00 an hour during regular hours and 10 pounds out of regular hours. You will need to come for a visit before any ad hoc can be offered. availability Monday-Friday.

Our daughter has been with Val and Kayliegh since 6 months old, and we can not begin to explain how amazing they are. Our daughter has bonded with them and grown into this remarkable little girl thanks to the support and evelopment provided Bear Necessities. Our daughter has also made some life long friends with the other children in their care.
I have two boys aged 4 and 2. Valerie looked after my oldest from 8 months to 2 years followed by my 2 year old who was with them both from 10 months up until 2 months ago. Both of my children loved going there they were happy and cared for brilliantly. Lots of fun activities and good home cooked meals. They still talk about them now. Definitely would recommend xxx
