A great day at Thurrock was had by all when they threw a superb garden party for the parents, children and staff.

The turn out for the day was great too with well over 100 parents and children attending and lots of energy was expended on the bouncy castle, using the soft play and dancing away to the disco.

Later the 'magic man' did his tricky stuff and delighted everyone and the face painter was certainly kept busy!

Everyone enjoyed the buffet and then it was down to the staff to take on the dad's in a five a side football match.

To really put the icing on the cake for the day the nursery managed to raise £630 for the NSPCC, Busy Bees chosen charity for the year which are a fabulous organisation doing a very worthwhile job.

Well done everyone at Thurrock and a big thank you from the staff to the parents and children who made the day a great success!
