CHILDREN in Chingford celebrated moving on to the next stage in their lives yesterday.

The children at Busy Bees nursery in New Road had a party to mark their move to primary school, even donning graduation cloaks and mortarboards for photographs to mark the occasion.

The nursery’s deputy manager, Caroline Lodge, said: “The children had a lot of fun.

“Most of them are leaving in the next few months and some of the children who left in January came back, so it was nice to see some old faces as well.”
