Our experience with Brown Bears has been positive from day one. The staff are kind, super friendly, supportive, flexible and understanding.
The environment is safe and welcoming, they have multiple rooms for each age group.
They give us pretty good updates through their apps and by email as well. I recommend! x ?

Our son has been at Brown Bears for a year and a half, and he absolutely loves it. All of the staff are incredibly friendly and kind, and Cheryl the manager is communicative and helpful. We’re kept well up to date as to our son’s progress and targets for development, which are appropriate and discussed collaboratively, and we hear from him each day how much he’s enjoyed himself. I highly recommend Brown Bears.

We have had 3 children at brown bears over the last 7 years and could not be happier with them. Our children have thrived there, with staff who genuinely care about them and see them as individuals. It is an extremely homely and caring environment.

I would definitely recommend Brown Bears Nursery. I have three children who currently attend. The staff are wonderful, they will always have time to speak to you and ensure the children are getting the most out of their time there. They set realistic but stretching targets and I can see the children developing in all areas. It is a very inclusive place and my children above all are happy and love going to nursery.

There are 7 areas of learning and development which guide professionals’ engagement with your child’s activities and play as they develop, demonstrate understanding and learn new skills and knowledge.In a child’s first 24 months the focus is mainly on developing the 3 prime areas first, these are:Communication & LanguagePhysical DevelopmentPersonal, Social & Emotional Development

The prime areas are fundamental in your child’s healthy development and are the foundations for their future progress. As your child grows the prime areas will support children to develop skills in the 4 specific areas which are:LiteracyMathematicsUnderstanding the WorldExpressive Arts and DesignThe EYFS is simular to a curriculum used in schools, however it is suitable for young children and babies. The areas of development are used in teaching and supporting children and are used in planning activities that will meet your child’s individual needs and interests.Within their early years foundation stage children learn through playing and exploring, active learning and creating and thinking critically.

[H2] Learning & Development Progress Check at 2
Between 24 & 36 months the nursery staff working with your child will provide you with a written summary of your child’s learning and development in the 3 prime areas.Communication & LanguagePhysical DevelopmentPersonal, Social & Emotional Development
Learn More
The progress check will highlight your child’s progression and any areas where your child may need support. Your child’s key person will meet with you and highlight ways in which they feel they can support the child in the setting and suggest ways to do the same at home. Through a discussion between parent and practitioner you will find ways in supporting your child in their learning journey. You may find it helpful to share this review with other professionals such as your health visitor in your child’s health and development review.
[H3] EYFS Profile at age 5
At the end of the EYFS in the summer term of the reception school year the reception class teachers will complete an assessment based what they have observed over a period of time.An important part of this assessment is your knowledge about your child’s learning and development so speak with the class teacher. The information collected will help the class teacher assess your child in the 7 areas of learning and decide if your child may need extra support and inform them of their likes and dislikes.

[H2] The Learning Journey
The learning journey is a continuous journey thorough a child’s early years and is built on the things that they have already experienced. The learning journey is recorded on Tapestry with the use of a collection of documents that help to provide a clear picture of your child’s learning and development in the prime and specific areas of the EYFS.Every childs learning journey takes a personal path that is based on their individuality and uniqueness. The learning journey’s consist of observations, next steps, planned activities, learning stories, wow moments, individual assessments, I can and I said pages, photographs and art work. Your child’s key person will link these things to the EYFS to build a unique picture of your child’s abilities and plan forward next steps.
Parental Contribution
Contributions to your child’s learning journey should not be left solely to your child’s key person. Parents are their childs first educators and along with family and other adults that have contact with the child should be involved in their learning journey.Parents/carers/family are invited to contribute and comment on their childs experiances away from the setting by using the documents in the corridors of the nursery or the post it notes on the parents board upstairs. There is also a comments facility on our website that can be used to inform us of experiances via email.
Parents are Welcome
To view their child’s learning journey at any time, we do ask though that if you wish to speak to your child’s key person with regard their learning and development you arrange an appropriate time as we can not always give you the attention required when working in the busy room.Childrens learning journeys are available for all children. Pre-school children have continuous access to their own journeys and are encouraged to share them with family and be actively involved in the creation of them.

[H2] Consumables and Experience Charges

[H2] Your Funded Nursery Hours Fee Explained
Brown Bears Nursery is a private nursery funded by parent contributions alongside government funding. As a private nursery, the government funding for free hours does not cover the full cost of providing high-quality childcare. We therefore charge a small consumables and experiences fee to cover items such as nappies, wipes, food, craft and sensory materials, cooking ingredients, celebrations, and enrichment activities that go beyond the basic Early Years statutory requirements.The government allows nurseries to charge for these additional costs, as funding only covers the core childcare provision. Our £1 per hour consumables and experiences charge (applied during funded morning and afternoon sessions) helps ensure all children benefit from a rich, engaging, and high-quality nursery experience that supports their individual needs and development.At Brown Bears Nursery, to continue to offer funded places relies on parents opting in to the consumables charge. Without this contribution, we may need to reduce our enhanced provision or limit funded places in the future. This charge helps us maintain the high-quality care and learning experiences that families choose Brown Bears for.This is not an exhaustive list but it provides examples of what the nursery pays for your child to ensure they have the best nursery experience.
