Toddlers at Sheringham nursery Ladybird treated their families to renditions of festive songs including Giddy Up Little Donkey and Away in a Manger, as part of their Christmas performance, Nativity For Little Ones.

Mums, dads and grandparents sat on tot-sized chairs to watch the play, which featured a traditional nativity, mixed with modern-day songs – and the odd ad-libbed, 'Look at me Mummy!'

The Cromer Road group, which has just over 50 pre-schoolers on its books, has been running festive activities ranging in the lead-up to Christmas, from making cakes and cards, to designing Christmas tree and snowman table decorations.

Youngsters will celebrate the end of term on Wednesday with a party, complete with a visit from Father Christmas.

Nursery manager Louise Brock, who narrated the performance, said: 'The children have thoroughly enjoyed taking part and I think it is a lovely opportunity for their families to see them joining in and having fun.'
