Richmond & Twickenham Times, 13 Jul 2007
A borough nursery has taken to the streets to commemorate 100 years since its foundation.

Barnes Montessori Nursery took 100 toddler-sized steps around Barnes Pond and raised £1,472 for the Parents Support Initiative, launched by the Montessori organisation to raise awareness of the developmental needs of children.

Principal Anne-Marie True, who has run the school for 20 years, joined the children on the walk. She said: "Everyone had a very enjoyable day and I am proud of what was achieved."

Children in Montessori schools across the world are participating in the event, with the aim being to Walk the Equator. Each child will contribute towards covering Earth's 40,000km circumference.
