Nursery sets sights on executive parents

A new nursery in Edinburgh is offering 'corporate packages' so that senior company executives can be certain their children are provided with quality care if they have to attend emergency meetings or go away on business. Prime Time, which opened on 6 May, will supply members of staff to care for children in their own homes - and companies will pay for it under a form of insurance.

Monica Langa, who founded the nursery with her husband Arturo, said, 'It is for emergencies mainly, but it will mean companies can ensure their key staff can attend meetings without worrying. If the parents have to fly to a business meeting in London or are held up when an accident occurs on the motorway, they can be certain their child is being looked after.'

The nursery, which can accommodate up to 59 children in a lavishly refurbished Georgian house, is currently caring for seven children, who are mainly the sons and daughters of teachers, rather than company executives.
