Children at Townsend Barn Nursery were treated to a woodland storytelling session on Tuesday as author Sarah Hill gave a reading from one of her books.

The Seend author of the Whimsy Wood Series, whose son attends the nursery, read Posey, Pixie and the Firework Party to a packed room. The Poulshot nursery’s manager Sarah Wheeler said: “It was a really good morning and the children were all very engaged. They were also able to relate to the story as we are based close to woods which we visit regularly.”

The nursery has also been celebrating after getting a good Ofsted at the end of last year.

They were praised on a strong management team, a high priority to safeguarding along with providing a wide range of activities to help keep the children busy and engaged.
