FATHERS joined their children at a nursery in order to get more involved with their education.

Daddy Day was held at Lillingtons Montessori Nursery, Chudleigh Road, Ladywell, to give them a chance to learn about the importance of nursery education.

Manager Jaime Fox said: "It's important fathers engage in the child's early years to understand what we are doing here and it's fundamental both parents are involved together."

Eleven dads attended the event and helped their children with learning activities.

Mrs Fox added: "The children really appreciated it."

The nursery is currently attended by 17 children.
