DOZENS of children at a Darlington school are enjoying new nursery facilities.

Youngsters in the foundation stage at Gurney Pease Primary School moved into a new building this week.

After Easter, the school is also planning to open a parent and toddler group.

Headteacher Sandra Battensby said: "The whole school community is thrilled with the new facilities, which have surpassed expectations.

"We are delighted to be serving the local area with fantastic facilities for children aged three and above.

"It is a very exciting time for us all."
