Ian Liptrot and Rachael Bromilow from Kids Planet in Billinge, allowed their colleagues to shave their heads for a cause that is close to the team’s heart.

The whole nursery is passionate about raising money for the ward and a Just Giving page has been set up, with a huge £905 raise already for the hospital which has cared for the pre-school youngster, who has not been named but has been at the nursery since a baby.

Nursery manager Mel Fitzpatrick said: “I am so proud of my team for their enthusiasm, resilience and selflessness throughout the fund-raising so far. Ian and Rachael are an inspiration, and an amazing example of inclusive practice.

“We are so excited to continue raising money for the amazing staff and children on the ward at Alder Hey, who are taking such amazing care of our Preschool friend.”
