Epsom Mayor Cllr Neil Dallen opened Busy Bees Childcare’s new garden to celebrate their new outstanding Ofsted rating at their Epsom Treetops nursery.

Cllr Neil Dallen and Mrs Ann Dallen read a picture-book to the children and helped them plant wildflower seeds in the garden.

Cllr Neil Dallen and his wife received homemade cakes baked by Sam Field from Tip Top Cupcakes decorated with iced mini beasts.

Laura Lunn, manager of Treetops Nursery, said: “The team at Epsom have worked very hard in enhancing the nature garden and making the area exciting for the children to discover and investigate the wonderful world of mini beasts and nature!”

Miss Gray, a teacher at the nursery, said: "I am glad the children love nature as much as I do."

Cllr Neil Dallen was elected mayor of Epsom and Ewell in May 2018.
