Opening time signalled for nursery group's £2m pub expansion

A £2m expansion scheme is underway after a husband and wife-run nursery group purchased two former pubs.

The moves bring Kinder Haven’s West Yorkshire portfolio to eight, promising to bring 50 childcare jobs and 160 nursery places to the Bradford area.

The group, run by husband and wife team Danielle and Darren Dixon, favours such sites and currently all of its settings are converted hostelries, offices or churches.

The Fiddlers Three in Clayton and the Prospect Hotel in Eccleshill are the latest, and are to be transformed over the next 12 months, receiving £600,000 each on top of the purchase costs.
