Nursery World - Happy snappers win cameras for their nurseries

* Young photographers picked up their prizes in a national competition picturing celebrations in nurseries, held to mark National Childcare Week. A special ceremony at Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood in London last Thursday saw the first prize go to four-year-old Heather Offord from the Ipswich Opportunity Group in Suffolk, whose photo celebrated Mother's Day. The second prize winner was Aziza Bangura, age two, from Blooming Babies in Ilford, Essex, whose photograph celebrated Red Nose Day, and third prize went to Frances Stacey, age four, from Chelmsford YMCA Day Nursery in Essex, for her photograph celebrating Easter. The winners each received gift vouchers and their nurseries were presented with cameras and photo albums.
