A NURSERY in Chipping Sodbury has marked a decade of caring for children.

First Steps Nursery, on Hounds Road, celebrated its 10th anniversary with a cake for staff and youngsters.

Founded by Clare Saphier and Hollie Dennis, the nursery opened its doors on September 5, 2005 with seven staff. It now has 25 staff and more than 120 pre-school children on its roll.

Hollie said: “Over the past 10 years the nursery has seen many families pass through its doors and it is a privilege to see the children grow and develop.

“The success of the nursery is down to the wonderful team who all work well together and are committed to the children's care and development. Here's to the next 10 years.”
