A BURY nursery chain was given a reason to smile when it received a donation of more than £7,000 worth of equipment from a national educational resource provider.

Galt Educational, a leading early years provider based in Hyde, donated the equipment as part of a continued relationship with the Fisherfield Farm Nursery, located at the Bury College campus.

The donation included contemporary furniture and play products with an orientation around learning and self-development.

Nicola Gilmour, nursery manager at Fisherfield Farm which caters for around 55 youngsters up to the age of five, said:"The children have been totally overwhelmed with the fantastic assortment of furniture and equipment used in this venture."
