Around 70 children attended Treetops, in Lancaster Way, yesterday afternoon (November 14) to play and share snacks.
Childminder Sue Smith organised the event along with raffles including Take That memorabilia.
The main raffle included generous donations from Ely toy shop, Cherry Hill Chocolates, The Treasure Chest and more.
Sue said: "The week before our event my daughter, who is my registered assistant, and I were invited to the BBC's The One Show to be in the audience and talk about our fundraising.

"What a great way to learn empathy, understanding and thinking of others - all brilliant life skills
