Children's Centres don't stop in the school holidays. In fact, the Armley Moor Children's Centre and the annex on Chapel Lane were buzzing when Rachel visited this week. The pilot scheme providing 15 hours childcare for two-year olds is proving a big success with local families, and the stay and play sessions at Chapel Lane encouraged mums and dads to come in with their youngsters and enjoy the sandpit, toys and bikes. Rachel said: "It was fantastic to see young people and families enjoying themselves and getting to know each other." 

"Sure Start Children's Centres are one of the great achievements of Labour in government, but despite their success the Tories threaten to cut the budget and roll back the service. I will fight to protect every one of our Children's Centres against short term cuts that would have long term implications."
