Anna May, the manager of Springfield Farm Nursery, near Barnstaple, Devon, held her first information evening last month.
She said, 'I wanted to raise awareness of the early learning goals and help parents understand how their children can learn through play.'
The evening began with talks from Lee Hurrell from North Devon College and Jo Paylor-Sykes, a Foundation Stage advisory teacher. Parents were also given the chance to try spaghetti painting and working with playdough.
