KNL Childcare has received 90,000 to build a 43-place nursery in the Ryde area of the Isle of Wight. Nursery director Karen Bolan said, 'We are very excited by all of the facilities the nursery will be able to offer to the children and their parents.

'Larger open-plan areas, a multi-function community room and extensive outdoor play area mean we can offer a quality service that is safe, fun, affordable and easily supervised.'
