A POPULAR children's play facility is set to expand its service.

Bolton Toy Library in Board Street, Deane, has set up a satellite centre at Red Lane Primary School,Breightmet.

It is the second centre to be launched and organisers hope it will be as successful as the Johnson Fold Primary School branch which opened its doors last year.

The new facility has been funded by the European Social Fund, through the Bolton Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership, and will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3pm to 3.45pm. For more details, call 01204 559566.

It means local children, parents and childminders can borrow toys and videos for a small weekly charge without having to go to Deane to the main library.
