A NEW Bridgwater nursery is hosting an open day to give local parents the chance to look around and meet staff.

The Mama Bear’s Day Nursery and Pre-School at The Exchange, Express Park, opened its doors to the public in August and is kitted out with age-specific room and outdoor space.

To show off their facilities to prospective parents the nursery will open its doors on November 14 for a special open day.

Prospective parents can book time slots for their visit to ensure the open day adheres to social distancing guidelines and everyone will be required to wear face masks.

Catriona Smith, Mama Bear’s Bridgwater nursery manager, said: “We’re so excited to hold an open day at the Bridgwater nursery. Interest has been extremely high since we opened in August but we still have limited spaces available throughout the nursery.

“Our pre-school room in particular has capacity for more children and our team is eager to welcome more families into Mama Bear’s community.

"We have such wonderful resources and staff here that I’m sure parents will be impressed as soon as they look around.

“We will also be offering a free Stay and Play session when a child is registered and the registration fee is paid for on the day.

“We only have limited time slots available so anyone interested in having a look around is encouraged to get in touch soon.”

The nursery is filled with the latest educational resources with a dedicated role play area, cosy book snug, dressing up corner and plenty of loose parts play resources to encourage creativity as well as ample outdoor space.

The setting also offers Mama Bear’s Flexi-Care model of childcare, aimed at helping parents who are freelancers or shift workers arrange childcare to suit their ever-changing schedules.
