New campus nursery opens

Posted on 15 January 2024

With places for 94 children over different age groups, the brand new nursery on campus east has opened its doors.

The new nursery was initially planned around five years ago, prompted by the need for a replacement as the existing successful nursery reached the end of its lifespan. Despite facing delays, particularly due to the pandemic, work on the facility began in November 2022.

The modern nursery boasts dedicated age rooms, sleep spaces, and outdoor play areas, creating a bright and welcoming environment for children.

The location, opposite the Sports Village, offers convenient facilities such as buggy, bike, and bike trailer storage, as well as nursery-only parking for drop-off and collection.

As well as providing a key service to staff and students, the expanded provision can now offer more spaces to children from the local community. This both welcomes more people onto the campus and provides increased income to the university.
