The new 90-place Granta Park Montessori Nursery was built with £3.5 million investment from BioMed Realty on Cambridge’s biotech campus Granta Park. The nursery will offer a secure outdoor area adjoining each room to help develop children’s early science skills, and will use the Montessori ethos throughout its practice.

Kirsty Love, head of childcare operations at Sunhill Daycare, said, ‘We are delighted to have moved into our new premises at Granta Park which provides an inspirational environment for children to learn in.
