service and attention to detail. A library of over fifty play packs has been created by nursery teacher
Charmian Harrison-Edwards and nursery nurse Nikki Redford, with
help from parents and grandparents.
"We have a dozen storysacks, but decided to build a collection of play
packs which are less complicated and use off the shelf toys which can
be easily replaced. The main aim is to help parents and children to read
books together; the play packs have been a big success since we started
using them in January."
Toothill nursery has a few free afternoon places available. To book a
