Report
My Son attended the Nursery since he was One year old and the minute i entered i immediately knew it was a great place. Everyone who works there are super friendly, knowledgeable and make your child feel so special. My son is now 2 year and 3 months and we are leaving London and i wish i could take Little Bears with us, as my Son has grown to be a very confident and Happy child and Little bears had a massive helping hand with this and we are very sad to leave. Thank you again Little Bears, a special place and we will never forget you.

Our daughter Elsa has been going to Little Bear's in Wanstead Village since she was 7 months, she is now 3! Outstanding nursery with nice big rooms and a lovely garden. Exceptional staff and carers that show true dedication to their work. Little Bear's feels like more than a nursery/childcare setting to me, staff and carers have helped me make important decisions for Elsa's development and had been guiding me through key milestones of Elsa's development. I highly recommend this nursery; I visited all the nurseries in Wanstead before making a choice and Little Bear's really stood out for me ever

Its rare to have such an incredible collection of kind and dedicated people all working in the same place. The staff and nursery are a credit to themselves and the industry and have played a major role in helping me raise such a happy little boy. Im incredibly thankful for them everyday and hope that they get everything their hard work and warm heartedness deserve. Thank you so much team.

A great company to deal with, Cottles Castles delivered soft play and a ball pit to the nursery everyone was very polite and friendly, and the children were very well behaved even helped us tidy away.
