Award-winning Kids 1st Nurseries is to create 25 jobs at a new £1.5m nursery in Sunderland next January, and will open two further sites in the North East over the next 18 months.
The Sunderland nursery (pictured) will be the company’s 12th site and will have 108 places to provide childcare for children aged three months to five years. There will be a large enclosed garden and a separate dining room.
Allison Winship, Head of Childcare at Kids 1st, said, “This is a really exciting time for Kids 1st. We are opening three new nurseries in the North East over the next 18 months, but Sunderland is particularly special to us as we have been looking for a location to build here for a while. We believe we have found the perfect site, the nursery is surrounded by lots of mature trees, perfect for exploring and outdoor play.'
Kids 1st Nurseries, which has won Highest Quality Childcare Provider in the UK by Nursery World for four consecutive years, prides itself on outstanding features, such as bright spacious rooms, home-cooked food, fingerprint entry systems, and a coffee-to-go service for parents.
