🚓👮‍♂️ Police at Oxclose Community Nursery School…… but don’t worry, everyone was innocent! ❤️

We had a very important visitor at nursery - one of our fantastic local police officers. 👮‍♂️🚓

The police officer was amazing, showing us around the police van, letting us hear the siren and teaching us all about staying safe and helping others.

No one was arrested... although a few people were questioned, and we're still investigating who stole the police officer’s jammy dodger! 😳👮‍♂️

A huge thank you to Chris for spending the morning with us and making it such a memorable visit. The children had an absolutely fantastic time! 💙 🚓👮‍♂️
