Nursery to open in former police building

An office building previously owned by Greater Manchester Police will be refurbished and open as a nursery early next year.

Pharmacist Jill Mackey has bought the site and intends to change her career to focus on the opening of the as yet unnamed setting, which is planned for March 2014.

The nursery is expected to create up to 25 new jobs and will initially be registered for 60 children.

Ms Mackey said, ‘The property is in quite good condition, but needs a lot of work to convert it into what we want. The internal layout needs altering as there are a lot of small rooms which we will knock through and a new kitchen will be put in, as well as completely redecorating to get to a high standard.’
