LITTLE Angels Pre-school has celebrated its first birthday.

Staff and children had a party at their purpose-built facility at St Mary of the Angels Primary School to mark the occasion.

The pre-school was set up by Karen Reeves and Cathy Lewis, who were both heavily involved in the unsuccessful campaign to save Gorsthills Primary School from closure in 2007.

Mrs Reeves said: “We’ve had a fantastic year and have gone from strength to strength.”
