Playaway Day Nursery Harrogate

We are happy to announce the official opening of our new baby sleep room on the first floor at PlayAway in the old office.

The new room has been approved by OFSTED and has been fully kitted out with brand new cots and mattresses as well as some new storage drawers for babies’ clothes, sheets and blankets.

The new room has allowed us to increase the number of babies we can look after each day by 4.  We already have a waiting list for these spaces however, so it won’t be long before they are filled! Contact us to secure a place.

National Childbirth Trust

As well as taking a stall at the recent National Childbirth Trust Nearly New Sale, we will also be showcasing our nurseries at the forthcoming morning at Winkies in Knaresborough.

The event will run from 9:30am-12:30pm and for only £4 per adult families can come along and get free play at Winkies, sample activities with their children, including French for Fidgets, Enjoy-a-ball, Singamajigs and Baby Ballet. Every adult will be given a goody bag with the NCT out and about guide inside.

Bob and Wendy

Building has now commenced on our PlayAway extension, and we hope to have the new room ready by the end of January 2010.

The new room will have space for 10 pre-school children, and has been designed in keeping with our beautiful Victorian building with lots of windows and a lantern on the roof to allow light to flood into the building.

Double doors will allow our pre-schoolers to ‘free-flow’ in and out of the building, choosing their own location during the day, in or out!

The children have been very excited by the building work, which has sparked off a pre-school project about building. Our lovely builders have helped with this by creating ‘peep-holes’ in the hoardings to allow the children to supervise the building, whilst safely away from any danger.

The builders have been named Bob and Wendy by the children, but the question on everyone’s minds is ‘which one is which?
