Youngsters, parents and staff all celebrated a major milestone for a popular Falkirk nursery school recently.

Wellside Kindergarten, in Wellside Place, celebrated its 30th anniversary with a special party – featuring a cake specially created for the occasion – last Wednesday.

The nursery opened on May 29, 1993 and three members of staff have been there since that very first day – owner Susan Hill, manager Janelle Brown and Heather Thornton.
