About this day nursery
Bearfield Nursery, which also operates as Peapods Early Learning Centre in Greenford, cares for children from birth to four years old. The day nursery offers 'settling in' sessions where a key person is introduced to the family to help children transition into the setting. This process involves parents gradually leaving their child for short periods. Staff hold regular discussions with parents about their child's progress and participation in activities, and also inform them when supplies such as nappies or spare clothes are running low.
Ofsted inspected the day nursery in November 2021 and gave it an overall rating of 'Good'. The inspector found that children have many opportunities to develop communication and language, supported by a thoughtfully sequenced curriculum. Children enjoy physical activity in the garden and develop a love of books. Staff plan engaging activities and parents commented that their children look forward to attending and enjoy events such as dressing up for Halloween.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. This week , I went to visit the nursery with my child as appointed; only to have the door slammed shut in my face on numerous occasions by two separate members of staff and to be told that the manager had to leave early because of a family emergency. The decent thing to do would have been to alert all parents who were to visit on that day and let them know beforehand as I lost out on my pay that day. Also, knowing that staff can behave in such a way, does not give me any reassurance that they can care for my child in a competent manner. As a healthcare professional who works with children, I will be advising parents to avoid this nursery at all cost if they ever ask me. Their behaviour made me feel exactly like this image>>>

i've taken both of my children to this nursery from the day they were eligible, this has to be the best nursery when it comes to child development and child care, the staff care for your children as well as caring for the parents, they have an amazing app that lets you keep up to date with your child's progress, what they've eaten, and how many times they've been changed through out the day, the difference in my children's social skills, speech development and independence is very clear and amazing! Thank you so much for the service you provide.
