    I’ve had a wonderful experience with Big Bear Academy. From the caring and professional staff to the clean, welcoming environment, I felt confident my child was in great hands. The variety of engaging activities and updates make it clear they prioritize both learning and fun and also hourly update of the child's activities through the app gave us parents a peace of mind.The communication is always excellent, and I truly appreciate how attentive the staff is to my child’s needs. I highly recommend them for any parent looking for a safe and nurturing place for their child to grow. Thank you Sarah, Abby and Big Bear team for your hard work.

    A bit of a different review, but definitely one to be shared. An educators perspective: I have had almost 10 years in the industry and I was starting to lose my passion, until I stumbled upon BBA. The management are such supportive and caring people, who value and respect all staff and families. All staff demonstrate so much passion and dedication to providing nurture and care to all who attend. I’m now on my journey of motherhood and while I have worked in many centres BBA is the one centre I would not hesitate to leave my baby girl in their care with full trust knowing that she is safe and nurtured for. If you are looking for a service where you are valued and treated like family, look no further. A fantastic service, that I cannot wait to enrol my little girl in. I’m so glad I found BBA.
