A PRESCHOOL has proved so popular with tots it has been forced to open a new afternoon session.

Leigh Road Baptist Church Preschool had youngsters queueing to join so it opened the second session. Places are still available in the afternoon sessions, which run from 1.15pm to 3.45pm at the church, in Marguerite Drive, Leigh.

Manager Liz Davis said: "There were so many people trying to join in the morning that we had to turn people away."
