    positive review  Needed my old bear repaired after many years of being loved a bit too much!! Lucie was very professional with great communication from start to finish. She looked after growler like he was one of her own, and even sent him back with a little friend of his own. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to help anyone who’s bear needs help!!

    positive review  Fabulous service provided by The Teddy Bear Nurse. I needed a VERY old bear reinforced so that he could continue to be loved for years to come and she did just that. Checked in with me every step of the way so as not to make any alterations I may not be happy with and advised me when I was unsure of something. Absolutely wonderful and I wholeheartedly recommend using her when needed xxx

    positive review  I sent Jemima to be repaired as her neck was hanging off and her face was a bit squashed! She was fixed to perfection, had a spa clean and was re-stuffed. She also had a new dress made especially for her. The Teddy Bear Nurse repaired her so well and kept me updated with her progress, which made me feel like Jemima was special. She even returned with a new teddy friend! I’m absolutely delighted! Thank you!

    positive review  My 64 year old Chiltern bear needed a new foot pad, leg joint, new squeaker and a good clean. Lucie is amazing. She kept me up to date with his progress and with photos too. She is a very professional lady who is passionate about her work. I would highly recommend her, especially her work on antique and vintage toys. Thank you so much Lucie.

    positive review  I sent my very precious life long companion to The Teddy Nurse as he needed a little tlc. After a very round about journey and much stress at this end ( a mix up with post code!) he safetly arrived for his spruce up. He is now home and looking fresh as a daisy. The TBN and all her helpers couldn’t of been nicer or more helpful. They kept in touch throughout the process and Teddy is clean, minus holes and smells lovely. He also has his smile back and his nose, ready for many more cuddles x I would not hesitate to recommend The Teddy Bear nurse xx

    positive review  After an emergency message to the teddy bear nurse, 2 of my childhood bears were sent straight on their way to her for treatment. The bears were in an awful state with mould, moth eaten and damp. She worked her magic, sending me lots of updates along the way, and has restored them back to how I remember them (with just a few extra scars to tell their tale). Thank you!

    positive review  Wow, what a pleasant experience, friendly service and overall genuine person. I sent Bigglesworth, a much loved 23yr old comfort stuffy. He had seen better days, he was floppy and damaged from years of love and in desperate need of a refresh. Nurse suggested a Welsh Spa (half refresh / half restoration), I’ll admit at first I was skeptical as Biggles means a lot to me and I rarely trust anyone with him. But The Teddy Bear Nurse was great, she talked me through everything she did to Biggles, showed me different options for repairs and was generally patient and kind. Overall she did a superb job at restoring my Teddy, in a reasonable time frame at a reasonable price too. I cannot recommend The Teddy Bear Nurse enough.

    positive review  Wow, what a service. We had operation Piglet. A loved Teddy, had seen better days. Piglet has been with her since been in an incubator at birth. Born prem at 23 weeks. So he is a very special teddy. My daughter explained how she would like him fixing and that’s exactly what happens came back like new, but with all the old parts that she wanted to stay.

    positive review  l was so worried to part with my bear, but knew l had to as he was in a sorry state. He had been by my side 64 years. From the first day I was reassured by the Teddy bear nurse, informed of every stage. My Teddy has been restored, cleaned, new eyes, new paws and a new music box to enable him to once again play Brahms lullaby. Ted arrived home safely with a little friend!! a lovely gesture. Thanks so much the Teddy bear nurse and all your furry helpers. Can recommend highly. Thankyou Eileen and Ted.xx

    positive review  The Teddy Nurse has done an amazing job on my 47 year old childhood teddy bear and his 25 year old teddy dog Cadbury. Cadbury had a eye missing, the Teddy Nurse gave him 2 new eyes which looked as good as new. Cosmic had toxic stuffing his body was thin and holes appearing. The Teddy Nurse took Cosmics stuffing out, lined his inside, re stuffed him, washed him & fluffed his fur up. He looks amazing, so solid to hold. I had fantastic communication with Teddy Nurse. She went over and above my expectations. Both boys came home with a new outfit, & a message of care advice. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend the Teddy Nurse, Nurse Florence and Doctor Teddington. Your a brilliant, caring team. ❤️

    positive review  I really can’t express what an amazing service this is. Such care and attention to my much loved bears – you can really trust that their character will be kept throughout their stay at “hospital “ and really wonderful communication about their history and construction as well. She even recorded the sound of the new “growler” so he’d sound the same as I remembered from years ago. Plus some beautiful new clothes to protect them both, all hand knitted. Would recommend wholeheartedly! Absolutely first class 😊

    positive review  I can’t thank The Teddy Bear Nurse enough for restoring my 60+ old bear called “Cuddles” he looks absolutely amazing! I got him back looking very dapper, he’s never worn clothes before. 😂 when I was picking him up I took an unplanned casualty in to her, he was donated to Hospice Charity shop that I work in. He’s a Suki bear and very handsome but his leg was off completely out of the socked (which turned out to be broken) The Nurse asked me to leave him and go and get a coffee and give her 1hr to attend to him…..she fixed his leg and even gave him a brush & tidy. I would give this ladies 5⭐️. She’s a fairy godmother to any bear that needs attention!

    positive review  Gordon is a bear from a military background and became a double amputee following contact with the OC’s Jack Russell. He’s a limited edition, laying down kind of bear. I didn’t think much could be done for him, his arm fur was in shreds, pads missing/in tatters BUT The Teddy Bear Nurse came to the rescue – did an amazing job repairing him, his ‘scars’ are invisible and he is back to his former self. He returned home with a little friend, to keep an eye on him during his recovery. I really can’t recommend the TBN enough – amazing talent. (Before and after photos included)

    positive review  The Teddy Bear nurse did a great job on my daughters two bears. She’s had them for over 10 years. They were pretty empty, pretty grubby and in need of some TLC. She kept us updated as they were being done because my daughter was very distressed with them not being in her bed! What a lovely meaningful job!

    positive review  Lucie is being harassed and bullied by a self-acclaimed singer (albeit completely off-key) called Kathleen Harris. This is all over Lucie’s request to sing with her partner’s band, which she did so well it upset Kathleen. See her page kathleenharrisofficial where you can see evidence in the shape of posts criticising Lucie. The perpetrator’s equally deranged children, Prestyn Lee Gingell-Harris and Oliver Harris, are now leaving fake reviews on teddy bear restoration sites aimed at Lucie, although this is likely Kathleen herself using their profiles. This lady nor her children have never had a bear restored in their lives and their reviews are fake, aiming at causing harassment and distress to Lucie.

My Wee Ted is 61 and he really needed a spa day so I sent him off for some pampering. He’s come back like a new Ted , ready to face another 60 years of adventures and love! We also adopted his twin,Josh, who seems like he’s going to be a cheeky wee chap. Wee Ted was only gone a few days, super service all round. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,Teddy Bear Nurse.
