A NURSERY raised £1,700 with a sponsored sing-along.

The Little Acorns Nursery on Bolton Road, Atherton, was raising funds for children’s charity I CAN’s Chatterbox Challenge.

This year’s challenge, Sounds like Fun with Humf, was aimed at developing children’s communication skills by learning songs and rhymes about sounds, noise and even silence.

Nursery manager Tracy Telfer said: “The children and adults all had a fantastic time and thank you to all those who sponsored our little chatterboxes, I’m overwhelmed by how much we have raised.”
