Among the recipients is the Highfields Community Nursery and Training Centre in Leicester, which is receiving a grant of nearly 270,000 so that the Red Kite Nursery can create 30 new places for children aged up to four.
The project will entail the renovation of the disused first floor of the Victorian factory where the nursery is housed, providing an additional nine baby places. Red Kite Nursery spokesman Dr Mark Powell said, 'This funding allows us to continue developing our facilities, creating an excellent nursery accessible to the local community.'
An award of 125,000 to Equal Grade Ltd will create a new 54-place Montessori nursery on disused farmland in Stallingborough, Lincolnshire, where the two-year-old Children's House nursery is based. Plans for the nursery include large outdoor play areas and a sensory garden, while the building will also be equipped with training rooms and a drop-in cafe for parents and carers.
