THE open day for a new pre-school was given a touch of glamour by two beauty queens - Miss Bromley and the Princess of Bromley.

Louise Stokes (Miss Bromley) and Vicky Lamb (Princess of Bromley) joined kids and parents for the open day of Kia Montessori pre-school at the old pavilion in Beckenham Cricket Club.

The school, which can take up to 26 pupils, teaches maths, language and practical life exercises according to the Montessori method.

Sharon Hudson, the school's 36-year-old owner, said: “We try to install a sense of order into the child's life. It builds up their confidence and self esteem.”
