THEY may be just out of nappies and more used to running noses than races, but this little lot are proof that when it comes to sport, you've got to start 'em young.

Youngsters and parents at Positive Steps nursery's sports day got stuck into events including running, obstacle races and the classic egg and spoon race.

The nursery, owned by East Durham and Houghall Community College, holds its annual sports day just days before its open days, on August 29 and 30, when students from the college can enrol their child in the nursery and chat to staff.
