Yesterday, Kids 1st Nurseries attended the Mothercare Expectant Parent event in Gateshead, and our beautiful mascot, Bobby, couldn't miss the opportunity to say hello to all the children and their parents. He also handed out brochures and pens to the adults, and balloons and sweeties to the little ones! An incredibly fun event and evening that we documented through the camera lens. We cannot wait to do this again. Read more on this blog post.
