Nursery World - Nursery Management: Case Study - Mulberry Bush day Nursery

Two Norfolk mothers who opened a nursery in Mulbarton to help plug a gap in local nursery provision are now hoping to replicate their success at a second site in nearby Wymondham. Karen Faux finds out how.

Mulberry Bush Day Nursery, situated on the common at Mulbarton in Norfolk, has flourished since its launch in 2003 and partners Ros Cutts and Jo Billham are now determined to repeat its success with the launch of a second site in nearby Wymondham.

Ms Cutts says, 'Jo and I are both mothers who got together seven years ago to plug a gap in local provision. We had been looking to open another nursery in Wymondham for some time, because it is a growing town and there is no provision for under-twos. It is a great location - it's on the way to Norwich Hospital and close to the Norfolk Police Headquarters. It's also near the park and ride into Norwich and a large housing estate, with a Waitrose, is currently being built.'
