A really beautifully located nursery, situated across from a large cricket field in Whiteley Village. The staff are so friendly and warm, and our daughter loved it! The team are dynamic and motivated, the daily food menu is brilliant and the daily updates and reports were really insightful. There are
regular events for the families and local outings for the children. Highly recommended!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We could not recommend Little Bears Day Care highly enough.
We initially selected Little Bears due to its caring family feel, friendly staff, great facilities and good value for money. During our first tour of the nursery, the manager knew every child by name and all kids seemed to be really happy
and well cared for.
Our little girl joined in April and she wasn't speaking much English. However, the staff have been nothing but patient, caring and understanding and have given our daughter so much love and care to help her settle.
5 months later, our daughter is building 3 words sentences. She is so happy when we pick her up. They have lots of entertainment for kids and great outdoor space.
Thank you Little Bears.

My twin boys started Little Bears in September. They have settled in really well this is mainly down to the care of all the staff and how welcoming they have been to them. They always come home and tell me that they've had lots of fun. They love playing outside on the veranda bit and little garden area.
It is in a really lovely location. Even though the manager is new she has been so welcoming and understanding. I love how we get regular updates every day as to what they have been doing and what they have eaten and nappies changed! Also the email communication and app is regularly used.
I have looked at a few local nurseries and so pleased I chose Little Bears for my boys.

My daughter has just finished her time at Little Bears before going to big school. She has loved going there and always came home telling me stories of the fun things they had done and talking about all her friends. The location is great and I love that they can play on the veranda outside even if there
is rain. The staff have been great always coming up with fun activities which my crafty daughter has loved. I will definitely send my next daughter there when she is old enough. Thank you Little Bears.

Little Bears has been a wonderful nursery for my son. The setting of the nursery is idyllic and we love how the children get to spend a lot of time outdoors or on the veranda. The nursery always gives us updates on what the children have been up to, from making bread, painting, role-playing, nature
walks and teaching the children about different cultures, job roles, and festivities like Easter and Christmas etc. My son particularly loves snack time! The staff are always kind and welcoming and my son's face lights up when he sees them in the mornings. I couldn't recommend Little Bears enough.

“Brilliant!” “Amazing!” “One of a kind!” are all inadequate terms when describing Little Bears. Although applicable, they fail to capture the magic of the nursery, warmth of the team and dedication of those who lead. Little Bears, thank you! For all that you are and all that you do. It doesn’t go

Such a fantastic nursery. My son age 2 has been with Little Bears in Walton for 9 months and is so happy. They provide an excellent level of care for him, communication is always great and updates on his development are regular. All staff members are super caring and friendly and the manager is always
easy to get hold of. We have an older child so have experienced some local nurseries, but Little Bears has really exceeded our expectations we found the groups are much smaller at Little Bears compared to some other nurseries. They also have a lovely outdoor area surrounded by lots of green.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Views and feedback from our parents and children are highly valuable helping us make the nursery a great place for little ones to learn and grow. We are very pleased that you have had a lovely experience and hope to make it even better for you and your child. Kind Regards from Management.

The nursery is excellent. All the staff are amazing and offer excellent care. Every day we get a run down on how our daughter has been, how she's eaten and what they have been up to each day.
We would thoroughly recommend Little Bears to all friends and family.
Best review is that our daughter is
always desperate to go back and is so excited each day she is told she is going.

Little Bears is an excellent nursery. Our daughter literally runs into nursery each morning excited for her day ahead. All the members of staff are so caring towards the children and I feel she is very well supported in both her learning and day-to-day needs. The staff put so much thought and effort
into all the wide-ranging activities on offer for the children every day and even have weekly forest school sessions. We also love how inclusive the activities are including learning about various holidays and important cultural themes throughout the year too. Parents also receive regular picture updates and weekly newsletters through an app about the children’s week which is very much appreciated and something we look forward to reading. I could not recommend Little Bears Thames Ditton enough - thank you for such a great experience!

This is such lovely feedback, we have loved watching your daughter grow and develop in the short time since she has been with us. We cannot wait to see what she achieves next in her learning journey.

The staff at Little Bears are so wonderful, you can see they really do care for all the children. My two little girls absolutely love it here and I would recommend this nursery 100%. My little ones come home with paintings piled high, cakes and treats they have baked and after forest school very muddy
welly boots.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My child attended Little Bears Nursery for approximately the last 18 months and has just left as of August 2023 to go onwards to reception at a local primary school. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with the care and development that our child received whilst at Little Bears.
The facility is very
good and well laid out with an excellent outside space and the children go for walks around the local woodland from time to time. The carers gave off a very positive vibe and the culture of the nursery was clearly good and the children's behaviour showed accordingly. They ran sports days and special events which were brilliant.
Our engagement with the management team was always helpful and professional, the food was really well done by a chef who cared deeply that the children ate well and tried a good variety of food. The carers were so kind and our child always spoke about them with a happy glint.
Thank you for the excellent preparation you gave our child we are most grateful.

We cannot speak highly enough of Little Bears Day-Care and their outstanding team. Our 3 year old son has been so happy here and can't wait to leave the house to get there. The manager and the team are exceptional, and pay attention to every detail. Using not only the nursery building and excellent
playground area, they have also introduced a forest school in the recreation ground opposite which is great for the kids to stretch their legs and understand the concept of directions. Parents receive regular updates and photos on the app, and the end of term report was delivered with great attention and details. And it's not only the kids who had a great time. Parents are welcomed in to observe, much to my enjoyment on Father's Day when all the Dads were invited in for bacon sandwiches and croissants, to play with their kids. Such a welcoming and caring community environment, and one in which children can be themselves and thrive. Thank you to the manager and team, and wishing you all the success moving forward.

Reply from Scott Humphrey, Manager at Little Bears Day-Care - Thames Ditton

Thank you for your amazing feedback!! It has been a pleasure caring for your son and we have so many wonderful memories of him!

We absolutely adore Little Bears! We currently have two children at the nursery, and our third daughter is already down to start next year. The staff are absolutely fantastic! There's been very little staff turnover in the 3 years my children have been attending the nursery. The staff really care, and
they're wonderful with the children - mine have absolutely thrived since they've been there! The setting is lovely, it's green and spacious and feels completely secure. I find it incredibly calming when I drive through the gates into Whiteley Village. The children play playball on the field, go exploring in the forest, and ride their bikes around the patio. It truly is a home from home environment, with exceptional management. We've recommended it to so many friends who love it as much as we do!
