Six Spelthorne schools started a competition on Saturday (6) for the chance to win their very own allotment.

The competition, which is co sponsored by the Staines Informer was launched at The Elmsleigh Shopping Centre and will see pupils competing for a raised bed allotment and seeds, gardening equipment and expert advice on how to get started.

Pupils from Buckland Primary School, in Berrycroft Road, Staines, Kingscroft Junior School, in Park Avenue, Staines, Manorcroft Primary School, in Manorcrofts Road, Egham, Shortwood Infant School, in Stanwell New Road, Staines, Hythe Primary School, in Thorpe Road, Staines and Stanwell Fields School, in Clare Road, Stanwell, will be encouraging people to vote for their schools.

Toddlers dressed up in multi-coloured outfits and superhuman costumes as part of a 'wacky week' to raise money for charity.

Eighty six children aged under five visited the Stanwell Children's Centre, just behind Ashford Hospital for a week long festival of colours, which saw each day host a different dressing up theme.

An animal-themed nativity was put on at Heathrow Special Needs Farm last week.

About 150 people turned up at the showpiece event in Longford Village, which featured real animals alongside the child actors.

The 26-child nursery set up home in a brand new building in the grounds of St David's Church in Everest Road in September and its reputation has grown so much there is now a waiting list of more than 60 children.
