Ruby, aged 4, is at her happiest at Little Crackers when the paints are out and she can get messy, following firmly in the footsteps of her art teacher mum, Susan.

She has really enjoyed planting sunflower seeds recently and with the other children has been carefully watering and watching them grow.

She attends nursery five days a week. She can already write her name and copy letters and is really looking forward to moving up to Reception in September.

Mum, Susan says, “Ruby is just so happy at Little Crackers, I have no qualms leaving her as I know she is in such good hands, she is always full of news when I collect her at the end of the day!”
