A NEW parents and toddlers group for those living in the Woolfold area of Bury will be launched on Thursday.

Emma Burgess and Lindsay Higginson are behind the Smile group which will meet each Thursday at the St James' Church Hall in St James' Avenue between 2pm and 3.30pm.

Smile will cater for babies and tots up to the age of three.

There will be tea, coffee and biscuits for parents and toys for the children. Cost is £1.50.

Emma said: "We decided to set up the parents and toddlers group because there is nothing like this in the Woolfold area.

"If it does take off and feedback is positive, we will look at expanding Smile."
