Children and their parents celebrated the 10th anniversary of a creche at Bicester and Ploughley Sports Centre in Queen's Avenue.

The creche was set up to help parents wanting to take up an activity, or go shopping in the town.

Rebecca De La Bedoyere,a marketing manager at the centre, said: "We take children, from babies up to five-year-olds, in the creche.

"It has proved to be a popular amenity for parents as it enables mothers, in particular, to enjoy our activities. Alternatively, they can leave their child safely with us while they shop."

The creche takes about 15 children at a time.

Parents are advised to book in advance on 01869 253914.
