Pre-school youngsters at the Chapletown 'Sure Start' Family Centre braved chilly conditions to greet the PM during his visit to Yorkshire.Sure Start was launched by the government to help very young children, offering support for mums and dads as well as communities by providing improved childcare and better emotional development for kids. In Chapletown, this means day care, help with learning English, teatime clubs and after-school sessions for working parents.

He said he was impressed with what he had seen, adding that Sure Start was invaluable not just for young kids, but also for their parents.
