Nursery Management: Case Study: Little Foot Day Nursery

New owners putting an emphasis on individual needs of parents has seen children flocking back to a Halifax nursery, reports Katy Morton.

A Halifax nursery under new ownership is welcoming parents back after its sudden closure left them without care for their children.

When Debbie Main took over the re-named Little Foot Day Nursery and Out of School Club in Luddendenfoot, near Halifax, last October, she vowed to meet the individual needs of parents and encourage families back into the fold.

She explains, 'The nursery was very popular within the community. Many parents accessed their funded sessions at the setting and said how convenient it was positioned next door to the local school. However, when the nursery closed after a day's notice, parents were forced to enrol their children at the setting in the next village, which charges higher fees that some could not afford to pay.'
