Bear's House Nursery, Brighton

They’ve consistently been sensitive to our kid’s needs and let them grow and develop at their own pace. The outside space is excellent so the kids have loads of time to run around and explore and they’ve recently started doing more outings with the kids. They split the kids up by age but there are a lot of opportunities for the kids to mix, especially in the outside space. They have a great balance of free playtime and slightly more structured activities to assistance their development. I’ve been so impressed with the enthusiasm and commitment of the team at Bear’s House.

All the team are lovely and the manager is incredible! Excellent feedback from team every day. Very sad to be leaving Bear’s House and we will miss it very much. They have excellent outdoor space and consistently have enjoyable activities for the kids. They have also been excellent with following the new guidelines with the new restrictions in place. Overall a excellent childcare centre that I will miss when we move. Thank you to all the team and management for taking great care of my daughter. My kid has been at Bear’s House since she was 2 and she has loved it there so much, she’s consistently so excited to go!

Compassionate supportive team, large playtime area (mud kitchen is my son’s favourite area of course!). Healthy food and snacks. Very cheerful with our journey here. Remarkable childcare centre.

My eldest attended the preschool until last summer and he loved the remarkable outside space, the outings and the enjoyable team.
My youngest is currently in the baby room and it’s excellent that it’s a small childcare centre so I sense that he gets lots of attention and has settled easily. There are lots of activities daily and my youngest’s Key Worker, in particular, goes to excellent lengths to care for him just how I would like by following his home routine and paying particular attention to what he likes to eat. Nothing is too much trouble and I sense like we belong to the Bears House family. Both my boys have been very cheerful here.

The setting was pleasant but we had some issues with a couple of the childcare centre assistants, these were based in professionalism and attitude. The manager was also a problem, so much so that we were looking to move nurseries.
When the childcare centre changed hands and became Bear’s House they quickly got rid of the manager and instilled a new one, who turned the childcare centre around. Bear’s House is now a place I would suggest to any parent. Supportive, attentive and expert describe all team. Spotless, modern and well equipped describe the childcare centre. When my daughter started at Bear’s House Childcare centre, Brighton it was known by a different name.

My son loves it and enjoys the interaction with all the kids he is one, my 3-year-old girl has such bonds with the room leaders and has developed friendships. They hosted a Mother’s Day afternoon tea which was super lovely to see my kids in their childcare centre setting and to spend time with the practitioner and other mums.
I highly suggest the childcare centre they adore your kids like their own and encourage growth and development through playtime. My kids adore it so I adore it. Since going to Strawberry Hill both my kids have developed leaps and bounds.

The team is incredible, compassionate and loving. There is so much going on that it is a very stimulating setting and interesting. In the last six months, they have organised day visits to local parks, the Pavillion, toy museum, and other visits that teach kids to be in different environments and situations and build remarkable memories.
The food is prepared onsite and is balanced, varied and flexible, so if the kids do not like it they can change it straight away, no need to wait for the “new menu” in six months time.
It is a very welcoming setting that enables all kids to grow at their own pace. An incredible setting, where my kid has been for the last three years.

I can’t express how grateful I am to everyone at Bear’s House Childcare centre, Brighton for taking such fantastic care of my baby.
After a day filled with a range of activities, my daughter comes home from childcare centre with a smile on her face.
The management and team of team are consistently on hand to offer detailed feedback, going above and beyond.
Having gone back to work full time, I am reassured to know that she is being looked after so well.

They will go above and beyond in every single situation and they are enthusiastic and expert in everything they are involved in.
We have seen our little one flourish and grow in this setting and we sense blessed we found them.
The space is incredible for our little one as there is a huge outside area that is easily accessible whenever he wants and the inside rooms are spotless and organized for all sorts of activities every day.
Management is going above and beyond with any sort of request and they follow every single kid enthusiastically as they development through their development. It is obvious the work ethic and enthusiasm they have is trickling down to the rest of the team. We could not be happier with the assistance and interest that this childcare centre and the incredible team are giving to us and our kid.

He has a excellent bond with all the workers and talks about them at home too. There have been some really exciting developments in terms of more visits to new places and Forest School activities in the garden, and he has been trying lots of delicious sounding food for meals. I adore that they are spending so much time outdoors as well now the weather is nicer. My son is really cheerful at Strawberry Hill and we have recently increased the amount of days he attends.
