Fersands and Fountain SCIO have invested thousands of pounds in transforming an unused car park into a great new learning space for kids to play.
Not only will we create a new garden, but the nursery will have a new patio door entrance and the new doorway will have a big shelter to protect the parents as they wait for their children.
We are so excited to be creating this fantastic space.
The building was supposed to be completed last August but disputes with the original contractors caused serious delays.
This meant the Nursery Kids didn’t have a garden space at all during summer. Our Nursery Workers had to plan trips or go on regular walks to local parks when they could manage.
Eventually we parted company with the first set of builders, and this meant the costs of the building project rocketed due to extra legal costs, professional fees and added building costs too.
Then the worst of the winter weather hit, and we had to wait for the snow, frost, wind and rain to calm down.
Luckily, we managed to find a really good building firm who have helped us out and done a great job. If the weather continues to be kind, they will finish most of the work before Easter.
However, there will remain part of the garden that will still need resurfaced, and we will be looking for some help to raise money to get this done, so look out for our “Go Fund Me” page as we think we will need to raise around £10,000 – £20,000 more to get the final area covered.
