My daughter started Blue Bear this year at approximately 1 year old. I was frantically searching for a nursery after a settling in session at another nursery didn’t go well. I instantly knew my daughter would love Blue Bear when i looked round and my daughter loves going and they do so many wonderful activities with the children. The outside space is absolutely fantastic and I feel so comfortable knowing my daughter will have a fantastic time and love seeing what she’s been up to on the tapestry app. Lucy and shirrell are brilliant in the baby room we couldn’t be happier with this nursery and would highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My eldest daughter attended Blue Bears for 3 years before starting school and now my youngest also attends. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring, the activities and outdoor space are excellent. It makes leaving them so much easier when you know how happy they are there!

My kids loved going here before going to primary school. Blue Bear has come along way and is staffed by a great team of loving and caring people. Blue Bear has great links with Strike Lane Primary school and provides a very good transition from Preschool to reception class.
