Why Bear Park?
At Bear Park we are committed to providing inspiring professional development, including paid in-service sessions held every 2 months, where all of Bear Park comes together to connect and enrich our practice . We also offer opportunities to attend external workshops and conferences, supporting our teachers to be the best they can be. With 3 hours of dedicated group planning time per room, per week, we deliver incredible, individualised programmes for each of the children in our care.

With inspiration from Reggio Emilia, our teachers have a passion for inspiring wonder, creativity, imagination and investigation, fostering children's hundred languages and unravelling their theories alongside them.
