Nursery chain doubles its numbers

A nursery owner is doubling the number of settings she runs in order to meet increased demand.

Toni Krajnik, owner of Wise Owl Day Nursery in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and Durrington, Wiltshire, plans to open new nurseries in Messingham, North Lincolnshire and Bulford, Wiltshire, bringing her total number of settings to four.

The nursery in Bulford is expected to open at the beginning of next year and to cater for 70 children aged nought to five, while the one in Messingham is to open in the middle of 2011 and provide 36 places.

Ms Krajnik is now in the process of recruiting more than 30 staff for the new nurseries.

The two existing settings, which are running at full capacity, are also being expanded with a £3,000 loan from Business Link. Ms Krajnik plans to have a head office in North Lincolnshire to oversee the running of the four nurseries.
