The weather was kind to us as the rain held off and enabled our whole nursery to get out on a walk through the village together.
We walked up to the park led by Chicken Steve who had clearly been practising his best chicken walk for us!! He was also EGGcellent at helping our children cross the road too (no jokes required, as he knew exactly why this chicken was crossing the road!! 
) as we made our way to the field.
We congregated together and sang in our best Eastery voices and parents/carers/friends and family who had accompanied us there all joined in too… We saw some great wing flapping, some wiggling bottoms as eggs were laid and some brilliant hopping and flopping of feet and ears!!
Our children did us proud as we paraded around the village they cheerily jingled bells and wished all passersby a very Happy Easter! We got quite a few waves from passing motorists too – we definitely brought some smiles to Woodlesford today 
After our sing along in the park our oldest children said goodbye to the rest of the nursery as they paraded on to Midland House to visit our lovely friends there…
We took them an Easter hamper and handed out chocolates too after singing some songs together 
We had a drink and a biscuit before walking back to the park to have a play before returning to Jollies just in time for James’ yummy lunch!!
It was very well received and we were grateful for the chance to refuel and rest after our very, very busy morning parading!
However, there was one final surprise awaiting us as we walked back through nursery’s door…. The Easter Bunny had been whilst we were all out and he had left us all a chocolate egg on the stairs!!
He was a little bit clumsy as he’d knocked over a paint bottle when he hopped on in, but we didn’t mind as we liked to see where he’d been hopping as it led us to our Easter eggs!!!!
A HUGE thank you to our children, Team Jollies, all our helpers, our friends at Midland House, Chicken Steve and to Easter Bunny for making our morning such a magical one
