Clare's Little Bears Nursery and Preschool - Old Town

Clare’s Little Bears Old Town Preschool is a warm, nurturing setting where children learn, play, and grow in a calm, homely environment. Our approach blends child-led exploration with Montessori-inspired principles, encouraging independence, creativity, and real-life learning. Children are supported across all areas of development through carefully planned activities, meaningful interactions, and plenty of opportunities to explore their interests.

We are passionate about outdoor learning, and families at our Old Town Preschool also have access to our own Forest School at Hampson Park, offering rich, expansive outdoor learning experiences that help children build confidence and curiosity.

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do — using natural materials, promoting eco-friendly habits, and helping children develop a mindful connection with the world around them.

Our highly skilled, caring team creates a family-like atmosphere where every child is valued as an individual and supported to thrive. Children leave Clare’s Little Bears happy, confident, and full of treasured early years memories.

We look forward to welcoming you into the Clare's Little Bears family.
