A nursery has added a soft play area to its facilities after receiving a cash boost from Business Link.

Kiddies Corner, based in Cleveland Avenue, Darlington, has built the area for babies and toddlers in an unused room on the first floor.

Playtime in the soft play area, named "Funtazia" by children, will now be scheduled into the youngsters' activities.

Manager Marian Dullroy said: "The area will give children the chance of free play."

Business Link provided half of the cash for the play area.
