Somewhere to sit for East Preston children
The Nest is a quiet seating area, complete with pergola and benches, at East Preston Infant School, which has been transformed from a muddy, grassed area.
Marian Francis, year two teacher and school grounds co-ordinator, said:" It will now provide an attractive space for the children to sit in and talk to their friends if they do not wish to run around and be active at playtime.

She added that it was also be used by parents, when they were waiting to collect their children.
The opening was the culmination of two months work, planning and fundraising, by the school and the Friends of East Preston Infant School.
It was opened by the two youngest students, Elliot Pote and Max Snelling, both 4, and the two oldest, Matthew Davies and Gemma Milton, who are seven.
