Families celebrated the first birthday of The Oaks children’s centre with a range of activities around the Great Hollands facility, which now supports more than 10 different courses and drop-in sessions.

To celebrate the anniversary more than 30 families went to the centre for an Easter egg hunt and to play with arts and crafts.
Centre manager Sandra Woodward said: “It was a fantastic event – there was plenty of laughter and I would like to thank all of the staff and volunteers involved in helping to host such a successful event.”
The Oaks is one of six children’s centres across the borough run by Bracknell Forest Council.
Councillor Gareth Barnard added: “Congratulations to The Oaks on its first birthday.
“The Oaks, as well as the other children’s centres in the borough, are a great resource for the local community, especially for new or young parents.
“Well done to Sandra and her team for their success over the last year.”
