WESLEY Avenue Pre-School Playgroup has returned to its original school rooms at the newly-refurbished Wesley Centre in Sandbach.

Staff and children at the group, in its 40th year, are 'thrilled to bits' with the new premises.

Supervisor Sandra Innocent said although the group prides itself on a professional approach, it had previously been forced to contend with leaks and plumbing problems.

She said the group can now go from strength to strength in its new rooms, which were refurbished with the help of the group's youngsters.

Sandra explained: "The church building committee has been extremely accommodating to the playgroup and has ensured all our requirements were fulfilled, and those of OFSTED. We'd like to thank everyone who has helped."

Youngsters are pictured enjoying the sandpit at the playgroup's new facilities.
