A nursery with sites in Arnold and Gedling is celebrating four decades of looking after children in the borough.
Bear Care Day Nurseries is now the longest-running day nursery in Nottinghamshire under the same ownership.
Founded in January 1985 by Janet Budden, Bear Care has provided high-quality childcare to families across the region, building a trusted reputation over the decades.
Janet’s daughter Caroline has now taken over the running of the business.
She said: “It’s been a wonderful journey watching so many children grow, learn, and thrive with us.
“I’m proud of the strong relationships we’ve built with parents and our dedicated team.”
“Seeing the children we cared for come back as adults with their own families has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey
“We look forward to continuing to provide the best care and education for many more years to come.”
