Testimonials from customers and visitors of Bear Essentials
Dear Anke, just to say a very warm "thank you" for a wonderful morning today.We arrived home at 6.30 pm, tired but delighted with all our crafts and our minds full of happy memories. As I said, you went to a lot of trouble to ensure that all our needs were met, especially when it came to Alannah's dietary needs, and that was very much appreciated. Vanessa (Family Workshop June 2010)
Hi Anke. Many thanks for another wonderful day visiting you! I have attached some photos of the playground for your use. We have made Leo the Teddy a shelf to sit on and watch over us whilst we work in Montessori. We are also taking him om a Teddy Bears picnic next week. We sent out a letter to all parents detailing his story and adoption to Kavan Kids Montessori. Photos of Leo with the children will come shortly! Many thanks! Rachel (April 2010)
Many thanks for the beautiful photographs of Orna's birthday party we
