A little about us...

​

Teddy Bears Childcare is a family-run childcare company founded in 2020, following three successful years of providing childcare as childminders in Scunthorpe.

What began as a small home-based childcare service has grown into two wonderful nursery settings, each offering its own unique environment while sharing the same passion for providing children with the very best start in life.

We are proudly owned by husband-and-wife team Melissa and Rob, with Melissa overseeing the day-to-day running of both settings, supported by her fantastic and dedicated team.

​

Our Two Settings

We are lucky to offer families two different childcare environments, each with its own character and charm.

Queenswood Road – Childcare on Domestic Premises

Our original setting is based on Queenswood Road in Scunthorpe. Operating from a welcoming home-from-home environment, this setting offers children a warm, familiar and nurturing space in which to play, explore, learn and grow.

Glanville Avenue – Our New Nursery

Established in 2026, our Glanville Avenue nursery marks another exciting chapter in the Teddy Bears Childcare journey. Our purpose-designed nursery environment provides children with wonderful opportunities to learn, develop friendships, explore their interests and build confidence through play.

Although our settings offer different environments, they are both built around the same values: providing a safe, happy, caring and stimulating place where every child is valued as an individual.

​

Our Opening Hours

We understand how important reliable and flexible childcare is for busy families. Both of our settings operate throughout the year, Monday to Friday, with the exception of bank holidays and our annual Christmas closure.
 

• Queenswood Road: 7:00am – 5:00pm

• Glanville Avenue: 8:00am – 5:30pm
   

We close for two weeks over the Christmas period each year, allowing our wonderful team some well-deserved time to rest, recharge and enjoy precious time with their own families.

Growing Together

From our beginnings as childminders to becoming the owners of two nursery settings, we are incredibly proud of how far Teddy Bears Childcare has come.

Our growth would not have been possible without the trust and support of our families, the dedication of our amazing team and, most importantly, the wonderful children who make our settings such special places to be.

We look forward to continuing to grow, create special memories and provide children and families with a childcare experience they can feel confident and happy to be part of.

Welcome to the Teddy Bears family!
