NURSERY pupils have received a generous donation of reflective vests to help them shine bright while walking to and from school.

Barratt Homes gifted Sunrise Nursery in Northwich hi-vis vests for Walk to School Month, ensuring children can be easily seen on the roads as the darker nights draw in.

Kayleigh Walton, nursery manager, said: "We are so grateful to receive the donation of vests for our preschool children.

"Our nursery offers sessions between 7.30am and 6pm, so during the winter months lots of our families are travelling in the dark.

"The children have been learning about dangers of roads and keeping themselves safe recently, so the vests are a great way to support that lesson!"

Michaela Lancaster, sales director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: "We want to ensure the pupils in the community remain visible now the darker nights are here, and our donation has hopefully still encouraged them to safely practice Walk to School Month.

"This is a campaign we actively support each year as we endeavour to help school children in their efforts to commute on foot, and the vests have proven to be both effective and practical."
