"Uiterst vriendelijke leidsters. Kleine locatie. Prettige en gezellige buitenspeelplaats. Kinderen mogen vies worden. Wat betreft het eten, is er aandacht voor gezond eten en eventuele dieet wensen. Wij zijn zeer tevreden!"

"We absolutely love this place, and more importantly, so does our son. We love receiving the pictures and the journal, as we can see how he did during the day. And if there's anything out of the ordinary, as the staff knows our son quite well, they immediately contact us about it. Needless to say, they are very nice people and take good care of our son. We couldn't have chosen a better daycare for our child."

"Mijn kleinzoon heeft er altijd met alle plezier gespeeld! Mijn kleindochter heeft het nu ook naar haar zin. De juffen zijn heel lief en er is een fijne buitenruimte."

"Leuke medewerkers en omgeving. Leuk om te zien dat de kinderen ook samen buitenspelen!"

"Onze dochter is met alle plezier hier naar toe gegaan. Lieve juffen en een leuke tuin om buiten te spelen. Zo hier zeker naar terug.gaan."

"We are sad about our baby’s experience at TeddyBeer. We withdrew her because of a very bad event: Our baby was EXTREMELY hungry at late afternoon pickup because she only drank one bottle the whole day, and that wasn't until 15.00! (She'd been given fruit, bread and water, but after I arrived, she screamed and cried for milk. She drank and ate so much with me I thought she would vomit. This shows how hungry she was.) The teachers are truly sweet, which is important. However, they did not handle feeding with basic professional competence. Of course there are always reasons things happen. (In this case, our baby signed with her hand throughout the day that she wanted milk. When offered the bottle, she pushed it with her hands. This normal baby behavior is due to excitement. The teacher interpreted this as a rejection of milk, so gave her water instead. When she kept asking for milk, the pattern repeated. The teachers did not call me about the fact the baby was "refusing" milk.) Reasons always exist, but they do not justify the fact that that the hungry baby only drank one bottle of milk! Next day, the office head spent a long time talking with me. She is well-spoken and apologized, a great salesperson! (After all, as of a few years ago TeddyBeer is now owned by the large sales-savvy company Gro-Up.) However, she kept emphasizing in a kindly way that “the baby didn’t want milk” (incorrect) and “was hydrated with water” (as if that makes it ok she didn't get enough milk). When I observed the daycare didn’t do their job bc feeding the baby is a basic part of the job, she implied it wasn’t their fault that my baby went unfed because sometimes babies get overstimulated at daycare and don’t want to drink. In that case, why wouldn’t teachers call the parents to check in about it? (Also it was not true with our baby who was signing for milk all day.) She offered to try to talk with staff to improve things for the future. However, when I asked how we could communicate things about my baby to whoever might be watching her that day, it seemed like I was asking for rocket science. Why? Underlying systemic issues, which can’t be simply changed by a meeting with the office. The larger issues are: There is a lot of turnover of staff such that I usually did not know who would be watching our baby. Most days, I would leave my baby with one teacher whom we knew she was attached to, then arrive at pickup to find out the suprise that she’d been the responsibility of a new teacher all day. Sometimes info (like her ability to sign milk if hungry) was not communicated to new teachers. (In fact, this was the SECOND time my baby was not adequately fed at the daycare. An earlier day, a substitute didn’t know about the milk sign.) In my final convo with the head of the TeddyBeer daycare, I emphasized the systemic issue with staff turnover. The head seemed unwilling to accept that a deeper look might be appropriate. Instead, she kept saying she talked to the teachers of my child (as if the problem were specific just to this one baby). She suddenly started saying my baby was only there for three weeks (not true, also why would that justify failing to adequately feed her?). This concerns me, because an event where a baby goes unfed should be a wakeup call to examine systemic issues. I've written such a detailed review in case Gro-Up tries to explain away what happened with a public Google reply. By the way, on Gro-Up's website, the link to the inspection of TeddyBeer leads to a different daycare which passed recent inspections. I wonder if it’s an honest mistake. (TeddyBeer has failed initial inspections for the last several years.) Such a disappointment."

"Ons zoontje heeft het erg naar zijn zin."

"Heel slecht om professionele mensen!!!"

"Onze zoon had het ontzettend naar zijn zin bij De Teddybeer en zei altijd dat hij het leuk had gevonden die dag. Er wordt lekker (buiten) gespeeld, gegeten, geknutseld, gezongen en gedanst. Soms had hij peutergym of -yoga gedaan, superleuk! Wij gaan De Teddybeer zeker missen."
