STAFF, parents and children at Little Harwood Children's Centre have celebrated its first birthday.

Over the past year the centre in Robinson Street has brought together early years services in the area, and continues to develop extra services.

Sheila Moss, head of the centre, said: "The Children's Centre offers a range of services and groups to the community, such as family support, training and employment advice, child care and a community cafe, which was not there before."
