We dug into the Sunderland Echo archives to find these images from nurseries across Wearside and East Durham in years gone by.
Perhaps your little one is pictured or maybe you can spot someone you know. Who do you recognise in the playground, or enjoying a big toddle?
Take a look and then get in touch with your memories
