The Nursery staff celebrated the end of the year, and sadly the break-up of our lovely team, with a night out. Here we all are, posing for the waitress at the end of our meal.

Liz and I are the two leavers, and we were presented with our own versions of "What I've learned in the Nursery" - which we did with the children to put with their reports.

The cheeky things seem to have noticed that I am a pen thief (I opened my small handbag to show they were spot on, and without any deliberate action or premeditation, I had 12 pens in there!) and that I occasionally also walk off with (and once memorably went home with, on the evening before my day off) the toy cupboard key.

They also noticed that Liz can never remember where she's put her glasses...

We had a good laugh and just about didn't cry.

Nothing will be the same again.
