AN education centre for nursery age children will be opened in Sunderland tomorrow.

The £250,000 Early Years Centre, at Pennywell, has been created through the amalgamation of the estate's social services-run nursery and a community nursery.

It brings services under one roof and streamlines early years learning and family support.

Facilities include a childminding network, medical rooms, and provision for children with physical and learning difficulties.
