A FOREST fun day which included making dens, a leafy walk and learning about hedgehogs proved a hit with a Saffron Walden nursery.
Children at Friends' Junior School Nursery could not wait to leaf the classroom and get to Hatfield Forest last week.

Nursery co-ordinator, Tiffany Johnson, said: "We all had a lovely time and got very muddy!
