A group of little learners celebrated leaving High Bank Day Nursery with a special graduation ceremony.
The ceremony was held at Barton Village Hall for the children to mark the end of their final year before moving on to primary school in September.
When it comes to the development of the children at High Bank, we very much believe in leaving it to The Professionals
And that’s why as part of their learning journey, and to prepare them for school later this year, we have encouraged parents to come into the nursery to talk to the pre-school children about their profession.
One of our parents, who is in the armed forces, came and talked about what he does, as well as letting the children look at his backpack, 24-hour food parcels and, very excitingly, his medals.
Pre-school children were sent packing – but don’t worry they are not leaving the nursery just yet.
The children recently spent a morning doing a bag pack at the Morrison’s store in Morton Park Darlington.
They helped grateful shoppers to pack their groceries and in return people were asked to make a small donation.
