Our experience with Brown Bears has been positive from day one. The staff are kind, super friendly, supportive, flexible and understanding. The environment is safe and welcoming, they have multiple rooms for each age group. They give us pretty good updates through their apps and by email as well. I recommend! x :)

Our son has been at Brown Bears for a year and a half, and he absolutely loves it. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and kind, and Cheryl the manager is communicative and helpful. We’re kept well up to date as to our son’s progress and targets for development, which are appropriate and discussed collaboratively, and we hear from him each day how much he’s enjoyed himself. I highly recommend Brown Bears.

We have had 3 children at brown bears over the last 7 years and could not be happier with them. Our children have thrived there, with staff who genuinely care about them and see them as individuals. It is an extremely homely and caring environment.
