New nursery setting opens in vacant house in Derbyshire village

A day nursery has opened its doors in a newly-renovated Derbyshire house after a planning application was approved by the council.

The Home Nursery has opened a new setting at New Road in Barlborough after a planning application to convert an empty house into an early years educational setting was approved by Bolsover District Council.

The new nursery, dedicated for the youngest children aged two and under, caters for up to 22 little ones and employs seven members of staff.

The house, which is attached to a pizza shop, has recently been renovated to a high standard.

The expansion means that The Home Nursery is now operating across two sites in the North Derbyshire village.

This comes as The Home Nursery is planning an exciting new extension – with works underway to open a new community nursery based at the newly renovated Barrow Hill Memorial Hall.

Barrow’s Hill Home Nursery Hub will provide fully funded nursery places for children between the age of two and three, with the aim of making high-quality early years education accessible for local families.

Toni Weatherstone, Nursery Manager & Director and The Home Nursery said: “It’s an incredibly exciting time for us, and we’re really proud to be growing The Home Nursery while also being able to offer something specifically for families within the Barrow Hill community.”
