Staff at Forton Nursery, just outside Newport, teach the youngsters in their care to cook meals from scratch with fresh, local ingredients.

During October, the focus has been on traditional harvest ingredients, with vegetable soup, pumpkin muffins and apple crumble on the menu.

Leanne Bayton, nursery manager, said the cooking sessions were not only educational, they were a favourite activity among the children.
