The gesture was inspired by a group called 'Random Acts of Crochet Kindness' that began leaving small creations in across the country in a bid to cheer strangers up in lockdown.

The group now has over 147,000 members.

Nikki said: "It's a very pretty flower and when I told her she could keep it after reading the card to her she insisted on taking it to nursery to show everyone.

The card read: "I am not lost, I am alone. If you find me, take me home. Happy Valentines."

Nikki said: "When she finished nursery she couldn't wait to video call all our family and show them what she had found. It put her in a great mood all day. She was super made up."

Nikki reached out on social media to thank the creators. She said: "Thank you to whoever took the time to make this and leave it for someone to find."

One commenter said: "Look at her little face, she is thrilled, lovely gesture."

Others said: "How lovely" and "Awww lovely! There are some seriously lovely people in this world."
