BRIDGERULE has recently gained the addition of a new pre-school called 'Bridgerule Early Years'.

Bridgerule Primary School is in a federation with Bradford Primary School, therefore Bradford Pre-school will be managing the group.

It caters for children aged two onwards from the village and from Bradford.

The school has been fighting long an hard for over a year to be able to provide a pre-school and now, thanks to the hard work of many, including Friends of Bridgerule School, this has been made possible.

The pre-school sessions are held in the primary school's hall and runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am to 3pm.

Monday afternoons includes a mother and baby group run in conjunction with Holsworthy Children's Centre.

Thanks have been extended to parents and staff for all their hard work fundraising.

A spokesperson said: "The group is a benefit to the community and helps the children with their transition into school."
