OLD TOWN: Youngsters have said farewell to the woman who founded their pre-school seven years ago.

Anita Ellis is moving on from Clifton Street Pre-School for a new life as a nursery nurse in Abbey Meads. Pre-school committee member Jeanette Bolton said: "Anita will be sadly missed as our play leader. The children had a goodbye party with her. She was very popular." The pre-school caters for around 40 children aged three and four. Their new leader will be Sarah Rodham-Heaps.
