Nursery World - Bart's continues NHS boom

St Bartholomew's Hospital in London last week became the site of the NHS's latest workplace nursery. The 25-place setting, which was officially opened on 22 July, is being run by nursery chain Buffer Bear in partnership with Barts and the London NHS Trust. The nursery has been open since the end of March, and will have more than 40 places once refurbishment is completed early next year. Buffer Bear also runs the Trust's other 64-place on-site nursery, at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
