YOUNGSTERS at a Darlington nursery have been given the chance to become their favourite fictional character for a day.

The children dressed up in a range of costumes to mark poetry day at the Just Learning Nursery, in Newton Lane.

Among the characters who turned up for a day of poetry-themed activitites was the Big Bad Wolf and a princess.

The nursery, which is close to Cockerton looks after children from six weeks old up to eight year olds in a specifically designed building.

It was the first Just Learning Nursery to be built in the UK and it opened in September 1996.
