Youngsters donned mini mortar boards and gowns to celebrate their graduation and annual summer fete on Saturday.

Three and four-year-olds, their families and staff from the Kids Inc Nursery, Cleveland Road, South Woodford all came together to say goodbye to the children who will be moving onto primary school this September.

The nursery, which had a number of stalls, face painting and tombola giveaways, also raised �420 for Cancer Research UK.

Centre manager, Arfana Raja, said: “We all had a great day and about 200 people came down to help us raise money for charity. We wanted everyone to get together before some pupils leave and all the children were so excited, especially when they were given their certificate and goody bag.

“We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came and all the local community who supported out summer fete through kind donations.”
