TOTS at a Poole pre-school helped to raise more than £200 for a cancer charity by coming to class in their pyjamas.

Two-to five-year-olds at Lytchett Matravers Pre-School brought a whole new meaning to the phrase "pyjama party" on Friday, as did their teachers, who also turned up in their nightwear.

Deputy manager Tracey Scriven said the children paid £1 to wear their pyjamas and the teachers were sponsored.

She added: "One of the teachers walked to work, which was quite brave, and I've just returned from going to the shops in my pyjamas!

"The children think it's great."

The special day was in aid of children's cancer charity CLIC Sargent's Yummy Mummy week.
