Manager Anne Henson said: "We were a bit shocked. We thought it wasn't going to be until March. We are really pleased — over the moon. The thing is with us, because we are small we really can give the children all our attention.
"We can take up to 15 so we have space for children if they want to come. What's really great is we have access to all the outdoor areas. I think because of our size we can work really closely with children and families and support them in their learning."
