We dug into the Shields Gazette archives to find these images from nurseries across Hartlepool 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 an Elmer the Elephant day?
Take a look and then get in touch with your memories
