The internet showbiz blogs were all buzzing with the Crocmedia exclusive, quickly adding it to their own breaking news.

Chief photographer Nick Stern, who joined in March, was investigating a tip the Beckhams has been seen at an exclusive Jewish School in an up-market area of Hollywood. Sure enough, he saw both David & Victoria Beckham drive through the school gates at 9 am.

After a bit of investigating by Stern and Emily Smith of "The Sun" the answer was revealed. Little Cruz Beckham would soon be attending the nursery.

Stern said, "As a journalist it's always important to question the most minute detail of what you see, you never know where a story lies."
