A NEW preschool has opened up in Weston and will serve the Hillside community.

St Anthony’s Preschool has opened in St Joseph’s Hall in Camp Road and is welcoming newcomers.

Although the preschool will be run with a Catholic ethos, children of all faiths or none are welcome to attend.

As well as the usual activities such as singing, story sessions and play time, children will be taken on supervised trips to church for prayer and hymns.

Manager Eilis Moffatt said: “We are the only preschool serving the north west of the town.

“I am looking forward to meeting some new parents and their children.

“The resources here are good, it is a lovely new hall and everyone who comes in is impressed with how much is available.

“I think children will really enjoy it here.”

As well as having plenty to do inside, the preschool also has an outdoor area for children to play and learn in.

St Anthony’s is accepting applications for two, three and four-year-olds for this year’s intake. For information, call 07518 039247.
