Cllr Martin Brennan said: "The new-look centre is a huge improvement and I know will be a big hit with the children, staff and parents when they move in later this month.

"This is the latest project to be completed as part of our comprehensive £270 million school estate investment and I would like to thank everyone involved for delivering such a high quality facility at the heart of the local community."

Gillian McDougall Head of Centre said: "Our newly refurbished building will contribute to the high quality service we provide for our children and families. There are really exciting times ahead for the staff and children at Bluebird Family Centre and we are looking forward to experiencing all of the delights our new centre has to offer."
