Around 50 children, parents and grandparents joined in the fun at the 24-place setting. Kindergarten owner Gill Thornton said, 'We got the idea from a flyer that came with Nursery World in the spring. The children had their faces painted, made bear masks and ate teddy biscuits. We also had a visit from Bernard the Bear.'
