The kind-hearted gesture was thought up by Sophie Postill who works at Little Jules Childcare on Croft Street.
The 26-year-old manager said: “Stepping Hill always seem to get forgotten but it’s our local hospital and we just wanted to do something to make people smile.

Parents of the children who attend the nursery or after school clubs are being asked to donate eggs and so are the public.
Sophie said: “It was important for the children that we still do something for Easter as we know a lot of people haven’t seen grandparents or cousins for a while and it has been tough for them but this has given them something to focus on.
"They understand the eggs are for the poorly children and they’ve been really excited to see the collection of eggs build up.”
