A BOREDOM-BUSTING programme of summer activities for kids are on offer at Freeport.

Every Tuesday over the summer holidays, the shopping centre is offering a free crèche services for children aged between five and 11.

Children can take part in craft-making and storytelling sessions, supervised by qualified nursery nurses.

Jenny Beverley, marketing manager for Freeport Braintree said: “We had a fantastic day. Our new summer crèche meant that parents really enjoyed being able to leave their children in a safe, fun environment with our nursery nurses, whilst they went and spoilt themselves with some retail therapy."
