A new nursery for toddlers and young children was officially opened on Friday.

Fennies run a string of nurseries and welcomed MP Chris Grayling to their latest addition in Hook Road, Epsom.

Mr Grayling said: "Fennies is a great new nursery for working parents in the area. "There is an impressive range of activities and it is obviously going to be a safe and happy environment for children."

Nursery manager Sarah Adamson said the nursery took in its first young children on December 4, but its official opening was on Friday.

Ms Adamson said: "It was a really, really lovely day. We had a good turnout."

The nursery, with five rooms and an outdoor play area, already has about 40 children, but there is capacity for 132 children in total.
