Chairbears Day Nursery

In 2014, Chairbears Day Nursery embarked on a journey that took root in the heart of Deptford. This journey was filled with moments of significance and a deep connection to a place where a family’s legacy and love for children played a pivotal role, laying the foundation for what would become an exceptional childcare establishment. Since then, we have come a long way, with numerous milestones and achievements that define our story.

Our story is woven into the very fabric of 9-12 Deptford Broadway, a place with an extraordinary history. Before Chairbears Day Nursery came into existence, this building held a special place in the hearts of Anne and Martyn, the former owners of the Antique Warehouse. The Antique Warehouse held another treasure that was a beloved landmark in the local community: the Giants Chair. For nearly two decades, children and their families would gather to take photos on this extraordinary chair, sharing cheeky grins and creating cherished memories. The Giants Chair left an indelible mark, and it’s no wonder that Chairbears Day Nursery carries a piece of its legacy in its name.

It was Anne and Martyn’s vision and dedication that made the Antique Warehouse truly exclusive, ensuring the very best for the community it served. Their love and commitment seeped into every nook and cranny, creating a unique environment that offered warmth, quality, and a positive family vibe. Ellie, along with her brother, spent their early years within these walls, and today, we continue to uphold the values set by Anne and Martyn, offering a loving, home-like, and professional nursery with a positive family atmosphere. Their legacy lives on in the roots of Chairbears, and we strive to maintain the highest standards, just as Ellie’s parents did.

We are thrilled to have received the prestigious Ofsted Outstanding rating, a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing top-tier care and education.

What truly sets us apart, however, is our remarkable and dedicated team, who have become an integral part of the Chairbears family. Their loyalty and hard work have been instrumental in our success.

Our journey is now intertwined with the stories of the little ones we care for. Families like Ellie’s, whose children Rosanne and George who have attended and attend Chairbears, have become a cherished part of our narrative. Even the nursery manager’s own children have grown up at Chairbears, experiencing our nurturing and educational environment.

Chairbears Day Nursery thrives with its hand-picked, experienced staff who are fully trained and dedicated to providing outstanding early years care and learning for your bear cubs. Our story is a testament to the enduring legacy of a family dedicated to making a difference. It is a testament to the values of love, energy, and enthusiasm that we pour into every day, ensuring the safety and happiness of the little ones entrusted to us. Together, we look forward to authoring many more chapters in this incredible journey.
