Baby Bears Child Care Sunderland

Good Friday spent with some of my Baby Bears 🐻🤍

When I say Baby Bears is more than childcare - it’s a family, this is exactly what I mean!
Zain, Amber, Brody and Elliot were my Thursday bears until I closed for maternity leave in July last year. They were a super close group from the get go - coupled with Sage (our gorgeous honorary Baby Bear that we met up with every week).
Over the last 9 months this little group, along with their older (who I looked after from being a baby) and younger (who are starting with us later this month) siblings have met up as we have celebrated birthdays at farms and soft plays - and for all they don’t see each other every week as they’re at different settings now, their little bond is as strong as ever ❤️

On Friday we all had the loveliest day at Down At The Farm - we met all sorts of animals, fed lambs, held chicks, rode the tractor and just generally had the best day together with Mammy’s, Daddy’s, Gran’s & Grandad’s!

I hope this continues for a very long time ❤️

On Tuesday 8th March 2016 I opened my doors for the very first time, to my first 2 children.

In the last 10 years I have been lucky enough to look after FORTY Baby Bears.
I’ve celebrated first birthdays, first words, first rolls, first steps, first teeth, first wees on the toilet, first days of school (primary and secondary!) and so much more!
We rode out a global pandemic together and I am lucky enough to have had the most amazingly supportive families while I dealt with some really tough personal times, as well as some incredibe highs - getting married, having the honeymoon of our dreams and the birth of our very own Baby Bear 🕊️

I’ve been a little quiet over here while I soak up the last few weeks of just me and my baby girl, but I’m so excited to reopen next month, welcome our new Baby Bears and start making some memories!

Thank you to every single family who has put their trust in me over the last 10 years! You’re the reason I get to live my dream every working day.

I thought it was about time I introduced you all to our very own Baby Bear..
