Toddlers gave shrieks of delight yesterday as they played with pedal cars and other toys bought by their nursery school with a lottery grant.
A cheque for £3,367 has been presented to the Green Lane nursery, in Barnard Castle, County Durham, by the lottery's Awards for All scheme.
Nursery manager Christine Bell said yesterday: "When we heard the money was coming, we ordered the cars, and the children already love zooming around in them. The rest will go on other equipment which will keep the children well occupied and help us to give a better service."
The nursery has more than 40 boys and girls aged from two to five, and also runs a morning and after-school club for pupils of the adjoining Green Lane Primary School.
Mrs Bell said: "We are delighted about the grant. It will make a great deal of difference for us."
