They are brilliant and I cannot say that enough. My one year old struggled first couple of times (normal, different environment) but they were very good at dealing with him. The teachers are very passionate about what they do and your children will be very well looked after. I personally love the daily report sent to parents :). 4 out of 5 stars due to charging the same price for bank holiday as if they were not closed. Having him on nursery so that both parents can work but then being charged for a closed day as if my son is there is an unacceptable situation. Regardless of it being the "norm". It almost doesn't feel worth it having both parents working witch shouldn't be legally allowed considering the UK's situation.

Absolutely great! My eldest daughter has been attending little bears since March this year. She joined just shy of 2 years old only knowing a few words. Now she doesn't stop her vocabulary is outstanding, aswell as her knowledge. The nursery and all staff have been amazing. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since starting and it's all thanks to Little Bears! I have decided to go back to work early so my youngest just 6 months will be joining The Baby Room. They have all my trust and I feel completely confident in them. They are AMAZING!!

After carefull consideration of most of the child care facilities in weston-super-mare i found the best place for my 2 yr old daughter was little bears. Not only was i welcomed with a gorgeous smile by this very good looking woman ( Callie ) but my daughter was welcomed immediatley, settled in straight away and still is very happy to be going! If you are confused on where to put your children, then this is definately a very good choice of childcare.
