About Little Bears Day Nursery

The Nursery has been opened since 1993 but Kim Gill took over in 2003 and many of the children and their parents will tell you the positive changes she has undertaken not only to improve the facilities but also to make it more child friendly.

The facilities

Within the Nursery there are 3 age related rooms - Babies, Toddlers and 3 to 5's.

Each room is clean, attractive and equipped with appropriate activities, toys and play opportunities to allow each child to learn through play in a positive enriching manner. Outdoors there is a large safe play area used daily by all age groups.

Each room has its own toilets and/or nappy changing facilities.

Our Philosophy

The Nursery encourages all children to become confident, sociable and willing to learn. This is done by giving them the opportunity to develop at their own pace, to make choices & decisions and to be accepted as an individual in their own right. This 'relaxed' approach along with our 'learning through play' philosophy, encourages the children to reach all the goals required to go onto school and become a confident, happy learner.

The Nursery is relaxed, friendly and fun. Parents are encouraged to share ideas, spend time in the setting and to build strong, trusting relationships with those that care for their children.

Our staff team

They are dedicated, caring and completely trustworthy. Many of them are parents themselves and have years of experience working with children along with additional training in First Aid, Food Hygiene, child behaviour and various other child related courses.

A full time cook is employed who prepares healthy homecooked meals as well as providing foods for children with special diets. The Nursery works towards providing at least 3 if not 4 of the children's '5 a day requirements'. The Nursery is well maintained and is kept to a very high standard of cleanliness and hygiene.
