CHESTER pre-school children have successfully graduated and said farewell to nursery life.

Children at Elmscot Chester donned their mini caps and gowns and welcomed their parents to the graduation ceremony. Each child was presented with a scroll by their pre-school teacher, Mrs Pilling.

As a parting gift, each child was also given a bag filled with goodies, including books to enjoy at home and a lovely poem written by the Elmscot team.

Elmscot Chester is part of the Elmscot Group of Day Nurseries and Nursery Schools, providing childcare and education to over 1,800 children across Cheshire.
