My daughter has been in this nursery since she just turned 1 & she is now leaving this week to start big school in September! I spoke to a couple of nurseries before Mommabears but it just didn’t feel right. As soon as I received a message back from them, just the way they replied just made me feel better. The teachers my daughter has had from the Baby Bear room, to Mini Bears & into Big Bears have just been amazing and have all showed so much love and encouragement towards my girl. I’m very sad that this chapter in her life is over but not all bad because her baby brother starts in September just before his 1st bday! I have no doubt that his experience will be just as loving & magical for him. 100/10

I wouldnt send my babies anywhere else. We have built up a relationship over 9 years and 2 children, both have thrived and have been so happy at Mommabears. Thank you Cassie, Julie, Cheryl, Dee and all the staff for all the support over the last 9 years. Highly recommend if you want a personable nursery that actually cares and treats the children like they are their own. Thank you Mommabears, we will miss you x
