PUPILS past and present enjoyed a fun day to mark the tenth anniversary of a nursery recently.

Last Saturday saw families bask in the sunshine and enjoy a host of activities at an event organised by Darlington’s Little Lingfields nursery.

Nursery manager Lisa Maddison said: “It was our tenth anniversary on September 3 and we wanted to hold a big celebration.

“We invited nursery children from the past and present to join us with their families and it was a brilliant day.

“The sun was shining and the atmosphere was excellent, everyone commented on how lovely it was and how much they appreciated us doing it.”

Ms Maddison added: “It means so much to us to have reached our tenth year- in the nine years I’ve been working here, I’ve seen the nursery grow and grow.

“I started as a nursery practitioner and I’ve worked my way up to manager, it’s a fantastic place to work.”
