A suspect has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault at a playgroup, police have said.

St Padarn's Playgroup in Aberystwyth, Mid Wales, has been temporarily closed pending further investigation and police said this would be reviewed on a daily basis.

The playgroup is registered by the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales (CSSIW), Dyfed Powys police said.

It is independent of St Padarn's Roman Catholic school.

The suspect has been released on bail.

In a joint statement, Dyfed Powys Police and Ceredigion Local Safeguarding Children's Board said: "A multi-agency meeting has been held, in line with the All Wales Child Protection Procedures and Working Together Welsh Assembly Government guidance.

"The playgroup has temporarily closed pending further investigation and this will be reviewed daily.

"Parents wishing to make alternative arrangements may find useful information at www.cis.ceredigion.gov.uk.
