Keys for a new family centre have been handed over by builders carrying out renovations.
St Andrew's House, based in the grounds of Greenstead St Andrew's Nursery and Infant School, in Hickory Avenue, Colchester, is intended to be used by the whole community.
Headteacher Jackie Breeze explained it will be the base for family worker Jo Reid, who runs courses for local parents.
She said: "This will give Jo a base to work from and enable her to increase the number of courses for parents because there will be the space to hold them."
