About us .....

Bears Hideaway nursery was established in 1997 and has continued to run as a family business, owned by Debbie & Stuart Hooper.

We have created a safe, caring and exciting place for children to come; somewhere they can feel comfortable to learn, whilst still having lots of fun!

We are located in the popular residential area of Southbourne,

We are fortunate to be set well back from the road, accessed via secure gates with a lot of space inside and outside.

Our 6 play rooms are located on the ground floor and all have direct access to our large secluded gardens, making them light and bright and easy for the children to go outside and in.



Our youngest children, our tiny bears do not move around but the older groups - little bears, big bears and pre school bears move from room to room where specific resources are set up - role play room, construction room, small world room, art room and Bamboo's den - our Panda!
