CHILDMINDERS and little ones took part in a toddle waddle at the children's centre in Stroud raising £277 for Barnardos - a children's charity.

The one to three-year-old children, who meet up weekly, all made pirate hats for the themed event and walked 0.5 mile singing songs.

All the children received a special gold medal and a sticker for taking part.

The event on Tuesday, September 22 was organised by Samantha Mathews.

Childminders Louise Hill, Tina Brain, Carole Fitzgerald and Jessica Newman all took part.
