WINSFORD MP Stephen O'Brien launched a special balloon race at a local nursery to mark the launch of its two newest clubs on Friday.

The 'Say it, Play it' playgroup and 'Count Me In' club will continue the excellent care provided by staff at the Kiddiecare day nursery off Grange Lane, Winsford.

Mr O'Brien officially opened the clubs with a balloon race for all the classmates, which was followed by a tea party and open morning.

Mr O'Brien said: 'I was delighted to formerly open the new facilities which will build on the fantastic work done there. They will improve the already excellent service provided for children in Winsford.'

Clare Bell, the manager of the new clubs, said: 'We have formed strong links with the community by providing a quality and fun service for local children.

'It has been great fun and we are planning lots more activities.'
