Fifteen-month-old Hollie and six-month-old Georgina tried out the toys when they became the first youngsters to attend Coulsdon Nursery School's new drop-in centre.

The nursery school, which has 55 children aged between three and four on its roll, is extending the services it provides and the drop-in will enable parents and their children to meet and socialise.

Sessions will run from 9.15-11.15am and 12.45-2.45pm on Mondays and Thursdays in term-time at the nursery in Linden Road, Coulsdon.
