A Cromer playgroup that recently re-opened after a �180,000 revamp is celebrating again after getting a good Ofsted report.

Seaview Playgroup, in North Lodge Park, got a new roof, kitchen and toilets as part of a transformation funded by Norfolk County Council via its Sure Start capital grant.

On June 15, the playgroup, which opened in 1975, was visited by an Ofsted inspector.

A report about the facility, which has 48 children on roll, gave it an overall 'good' grading and said children 'blossom' during their time there.

It said: 'They thoroughly enjoy their time at this welcoming and vibrant setting. Staff are well-qualified, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, creating an effective team that is pro-active in ensuring children are happy, confident and thriving in their learning and development.

'Staff demonstrate an unquestionable commitment to working in partnership with parents and are developing links with others who provide care and learning for the children.'

The report added: 'Children are enthusiastic and show great enjoyment in what they do. They delight in enticing opportunities offered to play and learn outside.'

The inspector noted that the children had planted a sensory garden, and said the outdoor area was 'rich and stimulating'.
