NURSERY children now have their own toy library.
Nearly £1,000 has been spent on toys and games for the new library at Roseberry Primary School's nursery in Pelton.
Under the Sure Start Chester-le-Street initiative, children are allocated a game a week, which will help them to develop skills such as co-ordination, numeracy and literacy.
Enough toys have been purchased to cover every area of the curriculum so that children can take home a different game or activity every week of the year.
The library, which opened this week, is run voluntarily by two parents Janice Hartley and Claire Lowes, with help from Sure Start.
