Testimonials About Barney Bears
I have had two of my children attend this nursery and I could not be more happier with how they have helped with them. My older son who attended a few years back was helped with potty training his, speech development was brilliant, his tantrums was kept under control and I was given some handy tips for those at home too. My daughter now attends there and there has been some new staff members started and have got along really well with my daughter. She sometimes has down days and does not want to go in but that changes with the bond she has made with the staff! She eats really well there and her sleeping pattern, thanks to the nursery, has improved at home as she used to stay up most nights now she has a strict routine and that’s thanks to Barney’s! Would highly recommend Barney Bears Nursery as they have undoubtedly worked really well with my children.
We are so glad we chose Barney Bears for our son! All the staff are incredible – they clearly all really care about the children and are passionate about what they do and it shows as the children all respond really well to the staff. They have lots of activities planned, always have extra events on special occasions and really go the extra mile. They have home cooked food and really look after the children’s welfare. My little boy absolutely loves going to nursery, and we have had nothing but good experiences.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with this nursery! It’s a warm, caring, and creative environment that really supports children’s development through engaging sensory and learning activities. The facilities are excellent – there are two separate gardens for babies and toddlers, spacious rooms with views of the park, and everything is kept very clean. They follow a no-shoes policy inside the rooms, which we really appreciate. The baby room also has its own changing area with access to running water. The staff are absolutely lovely – kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. My little boy started here at 8 months old and he settled in so well. He’s now 18 months and already talking! We’re so happy we chose this nursery – it’s made such a positive impact on our son’s early development.
