STAFF at Kidsunlimited Callands described the moment as 'bitter sweet' when they bid farewell to youngsters at the nursery as they prepared themselves for primary school.

The mini graduates donned mortar boards for the celebration at the nursery on Gresford Close.

Nursery manager Denise Sharkey said: "This is an excellent opportunity to celebrate all of the children’s achievements and successes throughout their time at the nursery and preschool."
