A NEW group for parents and toddlers has been formed in Salford Priors.

Tuesday Tots, which held its first meeting last week is being run by the Sunday school teacher at St Matthew's Church, Pippa Challenger.

Parents and their children aged between two and three took part in songs and prayers led by Mrs Challenger.

The Rev Steve Tasher said: "Parents and children can come along and experience God's presence in an atmosphere that's relaxed and welcoming. The week can be long for some mums and dads and looking after little ones can be quite lonely."

The group meets every Tuesday at St Matthew's Church in Station Road at 11am until noon.
