The fete will consist of a bouncy castle, cake stall, face painting as well as a hook-a-duck game.

Nursery manager Victoria Evans said: ‘We are inviting all of the local community to come along and support. Our aim is to raise enough money to fund new educational resources, we really wish to extend the children’s learning opportunities.

‘I would really like to become a nursery of the community. I really feel it is important for parents and familes to feel as though they truly know us.’
