The new setting, which will continue to operate as a workplace nursery for Derriford Hospital staff as well as a nursery for the local community, will have increased capacity and cater for 145 children compared to the 120 spaces currently on offer.
Children will also have access to a new woodland area offering lots of opportunity for exploratory play. Rooms within the nursery will be smaller with fewer children in each area and decorated in neutral colours to create a calming atmosphere. The wooden furniture in each of the rooms has been specially designed to ensure that the children are sitting properly and that their spines are supported.
