A PRIMARY school in West Cumbria is offering nursery places for young children in the area during the week.

Silloth Primary School is offering up to 15 hours a week of free nursery provision from the term after their third birthday.

This is a great opportunity for young children to get care during the week whilst their parents may be at work.

A spokesperson from Silloth Primary School said: "All 3 and 4 year old children are eligible for up to 15 hours a week of free nursery provision from the term after their 3rd birthday.
