TOTS at a Worcester nursery have been overcoming obstacles to help children less fortunate than themselves.

Leapfrog Day Nursery, in Warndon, held a sponsored obstacle race to raise money for Childline, the charity helpline.

Parents and friends sponsored the children to take part in the races, which have been held week at the Brindley Road nursery.

It is hoped the races, which form part of Childline's annual fund-raiser Pedal Push, will raise about £200.

"The children have been really looking forward to taking part in the races," said Joy Cotterill, nursery manager.

"As well as being great fun, we are also hoping to raise a lot of money for Childline."
