Two PCSOs visited Cheeky Monkeys day nursery in William Harris Way, Colchester with a police jeep, high-visibility jackets, riot shields and hats for the children to try on and have a look at.
Laura Finch, nursery manager, said the children said: "They gave the children a talk about how to stay safe, they were excellent."
