Twinkles Nursery group now offers a combined total of 286 places for nursery children and wraparound care at all three sites.
Set in the business area of Knaresborough, Twinkles Nursery will offer 92 nursery places and an out-of-school club, providing wraparound care for children at the nearby Aspen Park primary school, which caters for 450 children.
Twinkles currently employs 53 members of staff and the new nursery has created 40 more jobs in the area.
Owner Jill Johnson said that the new nursery at Knaresborough has given staff from the other two sites the chance to take on new roles.
Ms Johnson said, ‘Expansion has meant that we can assist staff in growing their careers. For example, we’ve appointed a manager internally. We have 15 children enrolled already and have had lots of enquiries, more than we expected.’
