A nursery is opening its doors for a day of messy play, garden games and a junk modelling competition.

The YMCA pre-school in Newtown is hosting the event from 10am until 3pm on October 29.

The nursery opened in April to provide childcare to two- to five-year-olds.

Manager Alison Murray said: “We have been really encouraged by the response from parents to our new pre-school and we are keen to hold regular community events that local families can enjoy.”

Admission to the open day costs £1.50 per family.
