Make yours a modular

Modular buildings are no longer the rather grim, sterile structures they used to be. Many nursery managers and proprietors now find they are the perfect solution to their accommodation problems. The beauty of opting for this type of building is that it's so quick to erect once planning permission has been granted and the groundwork done.

The following companies are all experienced in providing buildings for foundation age children.

GLOBALMOBILE

Over the last three years Globalmobile has built more than 20 day nurseries for clients all over the UK and in a variety of sizes - one with 30 places, all the way up to one with 90 places. A typical Globalmobile nursery will include the following features: plenty of windows, preferably with low sills to let in as much light as possible and allow the children to see out; vision panels between playrooms and extra- wide corridors to make the building feel open; plenty of storage space for toys, art equipment, buggies etc; well- lit, solidly-constructed toilets with baby-changing facilities and plenty of ventilation; power points and door handles high enough to be safe from the children. It's estimated that a 50-place nursery would cost as little as Pounds 75,000 compared with 200,000 for a traditionally-constructed building.
