The nursery at Littletown Primary Academy had a new kitchen installed for free, thanks to the generosity of the town.

The school put out an appeal to see if anyone could help with improving the kitchen, which was installed 25 years ago when the nursery was first built at Bottom Road Honiton. Thousands of children have attended Littletown Nursery since then and it had served them well, but was no longer fit for purpose and was extremely outdated and installed when the school was first built 25 years ago.

Within hours, MKM Building Supplies Honiton had come forward and agreed to donate a complete new modern kitchen during the summer holidays when the school would be closed to children. Steve Brown (https://www.facebook.com/urbncarpenter) came forward and installed it as well offering to supply all our brand new appliances, and Matt Williamson of ML Energy also came forward offering to do any electrical work and electrical installation needed completely free of charge.

A spokesman for the school said: "True to their word, as soon as the summer holidays came, they have all sprung into action, and our amazing new kitchen was ready for us when we opened the doors to our new Nursery children and families this week.

"We cannot express how grateful we are to MKM for their hugely generous donation, as well as Steve and Matt for giving up their time, including over weekends in order to get our kitchen installed and finished. The end result has surpassed our expectations and wishes, providing us with much more storage space, worktop space and modern appliances. This is going to enable us to be more adventurous and frequent when cooking with the children and make providing breakfast and snacks for the many, many children who attend Nursery and our Early Years Breakfast and After-School club so much easier.

The Honiton community has been proving its enormous generosity and community spirit yet again by providing the kitchen for us, we cannot be grateful enough."
