A nursery in York remains closed following the death of a three-year-old girl who became entangled in a piece of equipment in an outdoor play area.
The accident happened at the nursery at York College on Sim Balk Lane on Monday afternoon.
The girl was taken to York District Hospital where she died from her injuries, North Yorkshire Police said.
There were no suspicious circumstances, police said. Ofsted and the Health and Safety Executive have been informed.
'Working together'A spokesman for York College said staff were "absolutely devastated" at the death of the three-year-old.
"Our thoughts are with the child's family and the children, families and staff at the York College nursery," he said.
College staff were helping the emergency services with their inquiries.
Parents of children attending the nursery had been informed of the accident and would be kept updated with any further developments, he said.
A spokesperson for the City of York Council said: "All relevant agencies are aware and will be working together over the next few days.
"Our thoughts are with the family of the child and staff at the nursery."
Ofsted inspectionYork College, which serves students between 16 and 19 years of age, moved into the £60m Tadcaster Road campus in 2007.
The nursery website said the facility provided full daycare provision for children aged between six weeks and five years.
It opened in 2007 and has three play rooms, each with access to a fully enclosed outdoor area.
An Ofsted inspection carried out in September 2009 said the overall quality of provision at the nursery was good.
The inspector said in the report: "Risk assessments, which cover the indoor and outdoor environment of the nursery, reduce the possibility of accidents.
"Children are taught to be safety conscious and they show a sound understanding of how to keep themselves safe."
The outdoor facilities at the nursery are described as "superb".
