A home-away-from-home for little minds to create, imagine, laugh, learn and grow through playful learning...

We are a family run private day nursery set in far Headingley/ West Park in North Leeds. We were first established in 2005 and have since grown to the 50 place nursery we are today. 

Three Bears Nursery is registered with OFSTED Early Years, grade GOOD (Dec 2021). We are located at 226 Otley Road en-route to Headingley, 2 minutes from Leeds Beckett Headingley campus and 15 minutes from University of Leeds, as well as being situated on a major commuter route. We have a large onsite car park making drop offs and pick ups as easy as possible for our parents.

We are passionate abour early years, inspiring our little ones to be the 'thinkers and doers' of the future. With that in mind our ethos to create a home away from home for each child who passes through our doors, is coupled with The Curiosity Approach, our child centred approach to teaching and learning.

Through The Curiosity Approach we provide a home-from-home environment through use of calm and tranquil play spaces. We use neutral colours, natural materials, cosy places for children to sit and look at books or engage in deep learning. Most importantly we place the child at the centre of their learning.
