CRAIGHALL PARK – After schools were closed due to Covid-19 and lockdown, a local nursery decided to make educational material.

“We started this incentive due to the closure of the school on 18 March. It’s mostly targeted to the children from our school and the different ages (three to six years) get age-appropriate work, in line with our curriculum. At the moment I send approximately 25 to 30packs a week,” Cogger said.
