Stationhouse Nursery in Portishead is due to open in May and will take in 60 children aged between two and five.
Lakehouse Nurseries has secured 100 per cent funding to convert a former police station, which will also create 15 new jobs. The new nursery will have sufficient parking facilities and a large outdoor space, according to Zoe Parsons, director of Lakehouse Nurseries.
‘Stationhouse will have the same values and high standards as Lakehouse, and our motto "It's our nature to nurture", will shine through in the new team that we are starting to recruit and also in our commitment to the outdoor environment,’ said Ms Parsons.
Children will grow fruit and vegetables in the garden, build dens, and be encouraged to recycle. Like the current Lakehouse Nursery, children will also be given pets to look after, which according to Ms Parsons, will give them responsibility and encourage them to be gentle.
