October 30, 2024 at 4:38 pmI would definitely suggest this day‑care if you want your kid to thrive and develop, sense secure and warm at all times. Management has consistently supported me with personal circumstances which have made me sense extremely at ease. Staff are extremely welcoming and will consistently greet my little girl in a welcoming manner. My kid has been coming to the day‑care ever since she was 8 months old, she has developed so much in the last 10 months, she is a extremely confident little girl which is consistently coming out with new things.

December 26, 2024 at 5:10 pmMy kid was at two different nurseries before she came to Barney Bears and we’ re so delighted we found this one. Payment structures and policies are clear and team and managers are consistently on hand if you need clarification on anything. The day‑care runs lots of celebratory events throughout the year which guardians able get involved in such as Mother’ s Day tea, summer enjoyable days, etc. They know my kid well and tailor targets and sessions based on my kid’ s needs which is reassuring. Staff respond to any queries or concerns quickly and efficiently. Structure of the day, meals, sleep times, sessions are well planned and follow the kid’ s age range and EYFS requirements. Communication is outstanding and the team know all the kids by name, regardless of what room they work in. This is an outstanding day‑care, team are knowledgeable and experienced. My kid has attended this day‑care for the past year, starting in the baby room and later progressed into the main youngster room.

April 8, 2025 at 4:39 amKnowing that my little boy is extremely delighted, settled and is confidently becoming more independent, I have chosen the right day‑care for him. foods they ate, times and type of nappy change, sleep times etc. Handovers are truly wonderful, you get a full description on your kid’ s day, e. g. General inquiries are handled well and you will get a reply pretty much quickly. Communication from Management is wonderful especially when there are changes, it is mentioned in newsletters and emails. Also regular trips in the local area which my little boy adores!!! The development space was colourful, kids’ s work was celebrated as well as the range of festivals they time. When I had the show round, information was clearly explained to me, team were extremely warm and welcoming, other kids looked delighted and were busy development and playing. I have had a extremely positive time with Barney Bears Nursery, my little boy settled in extremely quickly and I was regularly informed on how he was getting on during his settling- in- week.

April 9, 2025 at 1:56 pmBut overall a wonderful day‑care- wonderful enjoyable day in the summer. The only downside I would say is that the sick policy able be a nuisance- my little boy developed a rash on his body and I understand the importance of the day‑care making sure that it isn’ t contagious but it able be taken to an extreme as the doctors were also being difficult and we found this period a extremely stressful time. Would have been wonderful if timings were a little bit better- but I guess it’ s like this in the whole of Barking. Food is wonderful as he seems to eat well and has said that the cook is‘ extremely wonderful’ and this is coming from a fussy three and a half year old. He adores going to day‑care, team are welcoming and a handover of what your kid has been doing is extremely wonderful. My little boy settled in extremely quickly and had favourite team extremely quickly. His settle week was quite hard for us as guardians but it is extremely reassuring as a team member called every day to let us know how he was getting on. My little boy started in April 2019.

May 30, 2025 at 1:19 amWell done them. It’ s a super day‑care. They organise enjoyable and varied sessions and outings for the kids. The food is outstanding and cooked fresh onsite. My kid has been there for 18 months and truly enjoys their time there. Really delighted with the service and care at Barney Bears.

May 31, 2025 at 4:39 pmI would strongly suggest that guardians view other nurseries before considering this one. Definitely not worth your money as it’ s quite expensive and rates increasing every year, you able travel a couple of miles down the road and pay the same or a little less but you will see the difference massively. Often you will speak to team who will then converse with management on your behalf. Management is extremely poor here and communicating with guardians is definitely not a priority for them or of any importance. Staff are wonderful here generally, most do have long nails which I found to be extremely unhygienic as they are dealing with food and changing nappies throughout the day. You will be too often called away from work and commitments for these common illnesses which able be extremely interruptive if you are a working parent. I would advise guardians to fully understand the nurseries policies, especially about childhood common illnesses.

June 24, 2025 at 5:35 pmThe team are outstanding and consistently there to help even during these strange times we are experiencing. My 16- month- old little girl has been attending Barney Bears for 9 months now and adores it, even after having a small break during lockdown she was delighted to go back. My little boy attended Barney Bears Nursery from 6 months old, when I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd kid 6 years later Barney Bears was the only day‑care I would consider.
