The Hopscotch Playgroup is hosting an open session on Wednesday from 1pm to 3pm.

This will draw attention to the group's extended hours at the Lady Emily Community Hall, Tarrington, following a £18,000 windfall from the New Opportunities Fund.

The nursery will now be open all day Monday, Thursday and Friday and on Wednesday mornings, compared to its old opening hours of four mornings a week.

Special guests on the day will include Emma Marriage, reception teacher at Ashperton Primary School, and health visitor Heather Brooke. Further details on 01531 670778.
