DOZENS of toddlers enjoyed a spook-tacular day when their nursery held a fun-filled party to celebrate Halloween.

More than 45 youngsters at Kids Inc Nursery in Old Station Road, Loughton, had a frighteningly-good time at the event, which saw them play a variety of party games, dance to some classic scary tunes and dress up as their favourite seasonal characters.

Senior nursery nurse Emily Hooper said the children, aged between six months old and five years, had really enjoyed the spooky change of scenery.

She said: “They all loved it. The children's costumes were really good, we had witches, cats, skeletons, spiderman, Draculas and lots more.

“The staff all dressed up too. We did get some funny looks from the younger children because of that as they're used to seeing us dressed in our uniforms, but everyone had a really fun day.”
