Martin Pace, nursery director, said it was a chance to ‘experience the amazing ways in which children think and express themselves’, adding that the exhibitiion had been ‘really busy’ with visitors.

On the last day, a professional day was held with educators, including some who had travelled from Australia, Spain and all over the UK.

Mr Pace said their feedback had been ‘really positive’, with several calling the nursery’s approach ‘inspiring’.

He said that the nursery is influenced by the pre-schools of Reggio Emilia and from the forest nurseries of Denmark.
