Vandals wreck children's centre.
Vandals wrecked a newly-refurbished children's centre the night before it was due to reopen.
Attackers threw rocks and stones at Whaddon Children's Centre in Cheltenham on Easter Monday, smashing 67 windows.
When staff arrived at the centre on Tuesday for their first day of work, they found shards of glass littering the classrooms inside.
Three children aged 11, 13 and 15, have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, Gloucestershire Police said.
The centre, run by Gloucestershire County Council, provides 65 full-time daycare spaces for youngsters.
It had undergone a government-funded £713,000 rebuilding and enlargement programme.
Two rooms have been sealed off while workmen repair the damage, which is estimated to run into thousands of pounds.
Centre manager Joanne Rack said: "It's very sad. There's equipment here that has never been played with that we'll now have to throw away.
"There are shards of glass everywhere and when you're dealing with babies and small children you can't take any chances."

Truely Terrible. Very Sick
:( I am guessing they will grow up to be football hooligans.
Good Lord! The World is going going gone mad, and the CHILDREN with it!!! Help! This is such an awful story on so very many levels, my dear CQ....Dispicible..!
Did they think this was a "fun" thing to do???
Oy Vey!
This whole incident is absolutely abhorrent to me. I can't even think of a horrendous enough punishment for them!
Three children aged 11, 13 and 15!?! Little gits! Where were their parents? Don't they ask children where they are going / what they are doing? Encourage appropriate behaviour? I'd wring their necks the little sods
I read the post and thought I must comment but I can't improve on Dawn's piece.
butthead kids to do that... glad they got 'em though.
