Staff at a Worksop nursery have launched a festive gift appeal to ensure no child in the region wakes up without a gift this Christmas.

Staff at Luans Little People Day Nursery are running a gift appeal for the second year after being overwhelmed by the support they received last year.

Nursery owner Luan said: “Last Christmas we had families struggling within our community struggling to afford the cost of living and Christmas, and this touched our hearts so we began a toy collection and were overwhelmed with the contributions from other families in the community.“We were able to collect enough toys not only for the families but to also give to Nottinghamshire social care.“We are doing the same again this year for all those children that may not get anything for Christmas.“We are still collecting and again are so overwhelmed by how the community has pulled together to support those less fortunate.”
