Our setting is registered for 172 children and provides excellent indoor and outdoor facilities. Our building is double storey and purpose built. It is conveniently situated in Bearpark, Durham. We are easily accessible from across Durham and the surrounding villages with very good links to the A1 for those travelling from further afield.
We know it can be daunting to choose a nursery for your child and understand the anxiety this decision can bring as you can be leaving your child in someone else's care and education for the first time. We work closely with families and actively encourage parents/carers to become involved with their child's learning, building further on these parental partnerships throughout your Busy Bears journey.

We recognise that our outstanding team are the strong foundation of outstanding childcare. Employees that are consistently high performing and demonstrating potential are rewarded and supported to progress within their career pathway. Our robust succession planning and investment in the team ensures that we continually have the best team of professionals working within our nursery.
Babies
Report
These are our youngest children aged from 0 - 16 months. The emphasis in the baby room is love, warmth and security in a stimulating area. We have a core team of staff and work with a staff ratio of 1:3. Our Caterpillar room offers an array of learning opportunities, as well as several cosy areas for children to sleep, including a separate sleep room.
Toddlers
Report
Our Honey room is on the ground floor and is specifically designed for toddlers. This room caters for children aged 24-38 months and is a much bigger, busier environment. Once our children turn 2 we work on a 1:4 ratio. Each child is allocated their own Special Carer and you will be invited in to contribute in the continuous development of the care plan.
Pre School

Out of school care
Report
Our aim is to make the day as fun packed as possible. All children have access to fresh fruit, water and milk during the day and are provided with full breakfast, lunch and snack tea. Please note: we understand that you may not know your childcare needs in relation to holiday care until the last moment; we have a very flexible, supportive approach to booking places in our Dragonfly club.
