A GLASGOW nursery has celebrated the graduation of its pupils as they prepare to move on to primary school.

Puddle Lane in Hillington held a ceremony on July 26 to bid farewell to its pre-school graduates.

Among the aspiring youngsters were Justin, a prospective builder, Honour, a future Disney princess, and Rosie, a hopeful future firefighter.

Other plans for the future include Vance who wants to be a teacher, Hallie who wants to be a doctor, and Leo who has his sights on a career as an aquarium worker.

Kelly Hegarty, nursery manager at Puddle Lane, said: "We said farewell to some of our older children, and to mark the graduation day, we followed the interests of the children, and when they said they wanted an outdoor graduation we made sure to make that happen.

"The day focused on the children’s achievements, celebrated their wonderful personalities, and focused on their love of the outdoors—which is something we nurture at Puddle Lane through our outdoor spaces and day trips."

The chosen graduation adventure was at Kelburn Country Park where nursery staff and children explored the 'secret forest,' giant houses, a swamp, and gingerbread houses designed for witches.

Puddle Lane is part of Kibble Group — a national charity providing care and education to children and young people throughout Scotland.

The nursery is a social enterprise, continuously growing and improving by reinvesting profits back into its services.

Jim Gillespie, chief executive officer of Kibble group, said: "We’re thrilled to have played a part in the education of the next generation and I'm so pleased to see they’re heading off with a great sense of ambition and clearly a confidence in their own potential."
