Nursery manager Roz Darlington said: “We just wanted to celebrate our little people’s achievements.

“We had a graduation to say goodbye to the children who have been with us for quite a long time.

“They looked absolutely awesome and were delighted and felt very important and also very excited.

“They are all moving on to the next stage in their little lives.”

A colourful backdrop was produced specially for the occasion of a rainbow and the youngsters’ handprints.

Parents joined in the fun occasion as staff laid on a buffet and bouncy castle for the kids.

Each child also received a gift bag.

The graduation event is one of a number of new ideas introduced by the nursery after taking over the premises in December.

Roz added: “We have been doing lots of gorgeous things with the children.

“Myself and Nikesha the owner want to say a massive thank you to all our fabulous staff for their hard work.”
