BUTTERFLY Theatre puppets entertained youngsters at a Kidderminster nursery celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Mary Balk's colourful puppets created heaps of fun and laughter for the children at Deerhurst Day Nursery, Franche Road, during a party to mark the milestone.

There was also a special presentation to nursery nurse, Judith Wright, who has worked there since the day it became a private nursery, run by Lesley Jackson and Mary Price.

They had worked at Deerhurst when it was the Kidderminster Hospital crche before taking it on themselves and opening it to the wider community. The nursery can take 42 children a day aged from three months to school age.
