Loyal workers at House of Eden Nurseries celebrate over 200 years service between them.

The staff, whose tenure ranges from 11 to 20 years, were presented with Long Service Awards at a recent company celebration event which marked the 20th Anniversary of the opening of their first nursery in 1999.

Over the years this Durham family orientated nursery chain has grown to five settings, which are located at Cobblers Hall (Newton Aycliffe), Stephenson Way (Newton Aycliffe), Aycliffe Village Primary School, Fishburn Primary School and Evenwood Community Centre. The nursery staff receiving their awards came together from all of the five nurseries to show off their new emblem adorned work wear which denotes their length of service.
