Welcome to the Little Bear's Day Nursery

The Little Bears nursery for 2-5-year olds, in Walton-on-Thames, is an open planned facility in a large hall which is split into two day-cares; Little Squirrels for toddlers aged 2-3 years old and Little Hedgehogs aged 3-5 years old. We provide childcare for both groups which involves planned age appropriate activities as well as appropriate age and stage toys. We also boast a large outdoor area equipped with outside play equipment.

At Little Bear’s we follow the EYFS and plan to your children’s needs, interests and development, to challenge them mentally and physically to develop their skills, build confidence and help them to thrive. We try to follow your at home routine as best as we can to help your child settle and to provide a home from home care where they feel safe and secure, helping them to recognise routine.

We believe that being outside and plenty of fresh air is important to keep children alert and healthy and we offer free flow activities inside and out as well as daily outings within the Whiteley Village grounds. All staff are active people who enjoy arts and craft activities and are not afraid to get messy! We ensure that all children in our care have fun and are safe in order to learn through play and focussed activities. Our main aim as a Nursery is to provide a home from home setting for the children in our care.

We pride ourselves on our gardening area for the children where they can explore, utilising all their senses whilst also learning to grow fruit and vegetables. Moreover, we teach them about the importance of growing our own vegetables in order to protect our planet.
