CHILDREN, staff and trustees celebrated the 25th anniversary of Early Birds Nursery with a cake made by Olivers Bakery of Crediton.

Since Early Birds first opened in Crediton on September 7, 1992 the nursery has gone from strength-to-strength with longstanding staff, Jill and Shaaron who have been at the setting for 25 years.

Michael Lee who is a long-standing Trustee was at the celebration and said: "I’ve seen all my grandchildren go through Early Birds Nursery and I’ve been here many times.

"It’s always been a great place."

The Nursery are providers for children receiving the 2gether Funding and Early Years Entitlement and is offering the 30 hours free childcare (for those who are eligible) and also redeems a variety of childcare vouchers.

Early Birds Nursery is registered with OFSTED as an Outstanding facility.
