A NEW nursery that was partly funded by a £12,000 lottery grant is to open in Hill End Lane, St Albans.
The site for the new Ladybirds nursery was formerly used by the Trestle Theatre Company but thanks to the money from the lottery's new opportunities fund, work can now begin in earnest to give the building a face lift.
The keys for the Birch Centre in Hill End Lane were handed over to nursery staff by the Highfield Park Trust last Friday.
Headteacher Bernadette Lee said: "We are delighted to receive this grant as it means the children will have a wonderful environment in which to grow. There is currently no childcare provision on the Highfield Park Estate and we are hoping that parents will come along and learn more about what we are hoping to achieve."
The nursery is holding an information evening on Wednesday, October 16, at 8pm.
