Twenty-one children from a North Yorkshire nursery are ready to start 'big school' in September after a memorable graduation day.

The young graduates from Baldersby Park Montessori School Nursery, near Topcliffe, marked the occasion with a special sports day, and received "rolls of honour" certificates in gowns and caps.

However, the event was the last graduation to be held at the nursery's Baldersby Park location before a move to Skelton for the next year.

The nursery is moving to larger facilities at the former Skelton Newby Hall Primary School from September, and will be renamed as Little Pippins Montessori School Nursery.

Victoria Pollitt, headteacher of Baldersby Park Montessori School Nursery said: "It’s always sad when children, many of whom have been at the nursery since they were babies, leave to start school but we know we have given them the best possible start to their early years education.

"It’s extra sad this year as this will be the last time we have a sports day/graduation at our current site, but it’s a tradition we will be continuing when we move to Skelton on Ure."
