More than 100 children across Busy Bees nursery in Basingstoke are pledging 250,000 acts of kindness.

Busy Bees nursery in Basingstoke is taking part in the UK-wide initiative, which aims to raise vital funds for BBC Children in Need.

The children are taking part in a variety of activities, from creating handmade "hug stations" and kindness cards to seed-planting and smile challenges.

The nursery's area director added: "Our children have loved finding creative ways to be kind, from baking treats for neighbours to planting kindness flowers.

"Together, these small gestures will create a powerful wave of hope, joy, and generosity."

The Great Kindness Swarm aims to raise even more money this year to support those who need it most.
