About Me
Welcome to Bears Daycare ?
I am a registered childminder based in the stunning town of Bewdley, providing a warm, caring, and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
At Bears Daycare, I believe children learn best through play. I provide a nurturing, fun-filled setting where little ones can explore, create, and develop key skills through age appropriate activities, imaginative play, and hands on learning experiences.
Alongside our daily routine, we enjoy regular outings within the local community, giving children exciting opportunities to explore nature and the world around them in a safe and supported way. Our adventures include visits to:
• West Midlands Safari Park (their absolute favourite!)
• Wyre Forest
• The Engine House
• Storytime sessions
• Local parks
• And many more wonderful places
These experiences help children build confidence, curiosity, independence, and social skills while making every day exciting, enriching, and full of fun.
At Bears Daycare, I aim to create a home-from-home environment where every child feels happy, valued, and encouraged to flourish.

My son was with Kim for 4 years. He absolutely adored both of them, and especially loved Kimmy!
Kim cared for him as if he was her own and every day he was excited to go, he loved the days out and making friends. We never had to worry dropping him off as going to Kim's was literally a home from home for him, the care was second to none and he grew so much in confidence whilst he was there
He went from a shy little boy to the bubble out going boy he is now, we were devastated when he had to start school!
If you're thinking of making contact with Kim to arrange childcare for your child, I would say don't hesitate as your child will be so well looked after and will have so many amazing adventures!

Kim looked after our little one from 11 months to 3 years old. We couldn’t fault the care provided; a great balance of kindness and nurturing with age appropriate development. The children had regular outings to from walks in the forest, splash park in the summer, the safari park and picnics at Witley Court. We were always kept well informed and updated. Genuine, lovely people.

Kim looked after both of my children from a very young age, and they absolutely loved being with her. She created such a caring, safe, and happy environment for them, and they were always excited to go each day. She took them on lots of outings and activities, which they really enjoyed and learned so much from. It gave me great peace of mind knowing they were so well cared for and having such positive experiences. I couldn’t have asked for a better childminder and would highly recommend her to any family.

My daughter has only been with Kim for a few months but she settled in immediately due to the safe, warm and nurturing environment Kim has created. As a first time mum it’s so nerve wracking leaving your child with someone new but Kim always sends updates and photos to ease your mind! My little girl absolutely loves going each day and she always has the biggest smile on her face going in and when I pick her up. Kim has been so accommodating with our schedule which is a massive help! On the days when she’s teething or a bit under the weather, Kim always makes sure to give her extra cuddles and attention which helps relieve some of the guilt when dropping her off on a bad day! It’s clear to see how much Kim cares about each child and loves what she does. I couldn’t recommend Kim enough and I’m happy my daughter will be with her for the next few years and we would definitely use Kim again for future children as well.

Kim is a fantastic childminder with lots of creative ideas.
The moment I drop my son off he very rarely even looks back to say goodbye as he is so content and feels at home with Kim.
There is a great selection of toys including educational toys / soft play / creative toys etc.
Kim is very motherly and is great with all the children no matter the age.

Kim has been absolutely amazing with my little one. She started with Kim at just 10 months old and it honestly feels like she’s always been there. She settled in from the very first day and has never once been upset going in, which gave us so much reassurance as parents. She always comes out smiling and happy and it’s clear how much care and attention Kim gives to all the children. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough - such a warm, caring and trustworthy childminder!

Since my little one stepped through the door she has always loved going to Kim & Donna’s. They are amazing with children. I have no worries and feel at complete ease all day when I leave my daughter with them. I honestly couldn’t recommend these two any more. They go above an beyond for your child - daily updates, outings with the children, providing a beautiful learning environment & two of the most genuine women you’ll ever meet. My little one has developed and learnt skills beyond her age range and is so confident socially since attending this nursery.

I've always felt very comfortable leaving my daughter with Kim and Donna. She settled very quickly and she enjoys going and playing with her friends. They have a lovely environment with a big garden. My daughter also goes on outings which is a massive bonus as she is very outdoorsy. Kim and Donna send updates on my daughters day which is fantastic as I'm a quite a worrier. I would be happy sending my second daughter within a heartbeat as I know they would look after her from the getgo.

Kim and Donna are so friendly and welcoming, they are fantastic with my little boy. He’ll always have a little cry when I have to leave him but within minutes they send me pictures of him happy and playing with the other children. They always send lots of updates and pictures and do so many fun activities with them. It really is such a lovely, calm and welcoming environment and I will always recommend them to anyone I talk to.
