Little learners celebrated their success as they moved to "big school" from Jubilee Day Nursery, in Padworth Common.

Children due to leave Jubilee Day Nursery and sister nursery Jubilee Gems to start primary school in September took part in their very own Graduation ceremony.

Each child was dressed in cap and gown which were all hand-sewn by dedicated staff.

A spokesman for the nursery said the day was "emotional": "It was filled with laughter, fun and a few tears. Ninety three children from both nurseries collected certificates and said goodbye to friends in a special outdoor ceremony in front of nearly 500 proud parents, grandparents and siblings.

"The family fun day with a host of activities on offer included a hog roast, face painting, a coconut shy, giant sand pit and bouncy castle raised £200 for Breast Cancer Campaign."

Lesley Thompson, the Nursery manager, said “Most of the children who graduated have been in our care since they were just a few months old and over the years, they have had so many wonderful adventures with us. We will miss them all terribly. They have been great company to be with and we wish them lots of happiness in the future.”
