Tiny Toez nursery group wins contract to supply council with care in five locations

From September, Tiny Toez will be providing pre-school services five days a week for children.

The contract with the local authority will increase the childcare available in Hounslow by a further 240 places, with 24 places in the morning and 24 places in the afternoon at each community centre. This will boost the number of childcare places that Tiny Toez offers from 394 to 634 places.

The nursery group's owner Ranjana Mair said, 'This is a really good opportunity for us and I'm really looking forward to working with Hounslow Council to provide them with more childcare. It is also great that we are able to recruit local people to help create more jobs in the area.'

The provision will initially be primarily aimed at places for funded two- and three-year-olds, but will then expand to cater for other children over time.

Tiny Toez has been contracted to provide daycare services at Clayponds Community Centre, Rose Hall Syon Estate Community Centre, Stoney Wall Community Centre, Oriel Community Centre and Sutton Lane Community Centre. Some of the buildings are being refurbished over the next few months to be able to cater for the early years provision.

Tiny Toez has also been running a number of childcare services in conjunction with Staffordshire County Council since February this year and intends to continue working with more councils in the future.

The nursery chain opened its first nursery in Sneyd Green in Stoke-on-Trent in March 2004. It owns seven nurseries, in Stoke-on-Trent, Nottingham, Cannock in Staffordshire, Stourport in Worcestershire, and Sandwell in the West Midlands.
