Charlotte Gallagher, assistant nursery manager at the Wynndale Drive nursery, said the children also decorated their own ribbons for the cause.

“They all had child-friendly discussions about this to give the children a better understanding,” she said.

World Down Syndrome Day is held on March 21 because it represents the triplication, or trisomy, of the 21st chromosome – which causes Down Syndrome.
