I am in the process of adopting a child from foster care who has experienced significant early childhood trauma and broken attachments. Because of this, I was looking for a nursery with a child centred focus who was prepared to work with us and understand the child. Teddy Bear's has done this from the start when we came up with a personal plan to introduce him very slowly to being there.

They use child centred and positive strategies with all the children and have always kept us very well informed of any issues that have arisen . Our child's key worker in particular has gone above and beyond to work with him. It has surprised us just how quickly our child has settled there .

Historically our child has struggled with issues around food but due to the care they hace received and the good menu, they are eating a varied diet when they are at nursery.

We have also had excellent advice on the two year funding and other administration concerns from Leah in the office. We were struggling to find and professionals who knew what we were entitled to until Leah helped us sort it out.
