JEANS FOR GENES DAY

Little Einstein's Kindergarten in Perth, Scotland, and Nunthorpe Early Years Centre in Middlesbrough, Teesside, did their bit on Jeans for Genes Day on 7 October to raise funds for children with genetic disorders. Staff and children at Little Einstein's wore their jeans to the nursery, while at Nunthorpe Early Years Centre (below) children made 'denim dollies'.

Staff and children from Woodland House Day Nursery in Bristol set themselves a challenge to get a photo taken with the 60 WOW gorilla statues placed around the city by Bristol Zoo to mark its 175th anniversary. Parents also worked in partnership with the nursery to complete the challenge, bringing in photos of the children, family members and pets with the gorillas.
