Katherine Antrobus, editor of Little Ankle Biters Hampshire, said: ‘The Covid restrictions placed on our daily lives have provided us all with a far greater appreciation of those who contribute to our local community.

‘Last year was an enormous challenge for everyone – for parents and carers trying to keep a protective layer of positivity around our family unit, and for family friendly businesses that needed to adapt and change like a chameleon to ensure survival.
