Teddy bears' picnics, fun days and sponsored toddles

Wednesday, June 11, 2003

Teddy bears' picnics, fun days and sponsored toddles are just some of the many nationwide events taking place during Pre-School Playweek from 7 to13 June, which celebrates the work of 16,000 pre-schools as part of National Sure Start Month. Margaret Lochrie, chief executive of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, said, 'The events planned for Pre-School Playweek highlight our commitment to children and families and will raise much-needed funds. Fun days and other events will also provide a perfect opportunity for parents to learn more about the childcare facilities available to them and their children.'
