THERE was definitely no egg on the faces of children at a Stockton day nursery as they got into the Easter spirit.

Little Ladybirds Day Nursery, on the Preston Farm Industrial Estate, held an egg painting competition for children in the pre-school room.

The designs created included super heroes and princesses.

Catherine Mason, manager of Little Ladybirds, said: “The children really enjoyed painting their eggs at home and bringing them into the nursery to show their friends.

“There were some fantastic designs and it was very hard to judge the winners, but all the children received a small egg for taking part.”
