A NURSERY has officially opened its doors in Bridgwater.

The new Little Adventures Nursery at Victoria Park opened yesterday (November 1) with the ribbon being cut by the Mayor of Bridgwater, Cllr Liz Leavy.

A number of parents with children at the Nursery turned up alongside VPCC staff and Bridgwater Town Councillors and were all shown around both the very popular baby room and garden and then the age 2-5 area room complete with dressing up area, role play, and sensory room and outside space which also comes with a Forest School area.

Victoria ward town Councillor Liz Marsh said: “The facilities are amazing and the staff was welcoming and clearly already much loved by the children and parents alike.

“Although the official opening is today, the nursery opened its doors to children in September.

“It has a fantastic atmosphere and extra features such as the sensory room are clearly setting this facility apart and are clearly much enjoyed.

“The other new idea of flexible childcare for those parents and carers working shifts or various different hours is absolutely brilliant and much needed as well.

“Seeing the children rush over to the staff with big smiles to tell them all about what they’ve been doing and the staff greeting them with clearly genuine interest and enthusiasm was really great to see.

“The whole atmosphere is lovely and the nursery itself was not only purpose-built but the facilities, such as the sensory room, the Doug and Melissa branded dress-up area, the forest school area and all of the airy and light space in which to explore, play and learn are second to none, certainly in Bridgwater.

“Having the baby provision and the much-needed flexible hours all year round along with the varied freshly cooked menu direct from the on-site café is amazing and the feedback that Cllr Mick Lerry and myself have been getting from parents and carers about this new Nursery has all been extremely positive.

“We couldn’t be more delighted with the work that the Nursery team has put in and the fantastic start that they have made.

"It’s an absolutely wonderful asset to not only our Community Centre at Victoria Park but without a doubt to Bridgwater as a whole.”
