THERE was a mixture of smiles and tears at a Southampton nursery as children left to start school.
Children at Regents Park Pre-school dressed in graduation gowns and collected scrolls in front of their parents.
This was followed by party food and games.
This year 40 children have left and many will be starting at Tanners Brook Infant School in September.
