The care & love the team gave her was beyond anything i could ever wish for, she truly was treated amazingly. I got great handovers & my daughter always spoke highly of her 'big room' teachers. Carla & Dani were a huge part of getting her school ready, i cant thank them enough for all there hard work & dedication they put into each day, my daughter is a very confident girly and they helped tonnes with her journey at nanny bears. With this said, it was never a doubt in our minds that our second baby would definitely be attending nanny bears. He is due to start January 2026 with settling beginning very soon. They have a brilliant settling in period, which is great to help build bonds & parent partnerships, all the staff have always made me feel at ease.
