Nursery World - Happy children snap at their nursery

Children have been reflecting their views about their day nursery with a special project on photography. The Children's House nursery in Stallingborough, Lincoln-shire, gave children 12 disposable cameras to photograph over a week what they liked most about nursery. Each was allocated a key worker who explained the process of photography. The children, including four-year-old James Allbones, pictured left, took it in turns to take one photo of what they liked best - although some, according to joint managing director Sylvia Archer, ended up taking more than one photo because there was so much they liked about nursery.

Ms Archer said it was surprising to see the high quality of the photographs, which were 'perfectly centred and focused'. The pictures, which included friends, keyworkers, pieces of equipment, the garden and the rabbit, were mounted for an exhibition in the nursery.
