STAFF and parents from a Worcestershire day nursery bid a fond farewell to those children who are due to start school in September by holding a graduation ceremony at their annual summer fair.

The children of Little Oaks day nursery in Malvern made and decorated their own graduation hats and took centre stage to receive a graduation certificate and commemorative silver acorn as a keepsake of their time spent at the nursery.

Owner Christine Egerton made the presentation and after the ceremony, the children enjoyed a fun afternoon at the fair, which raised more than £700, some of which will be donated to Children with Cancer UK.
