Open Day success at Little Pioneers Warwick Gates! 😊👍
Last Saturday, the brand-new Little Pioneers Nursery, Warwick Gates hosted their first Open Day. Welcoming over 100 local families through their door, the day was a huge success with many families commenting on the general openness of the nursery, the beautiful outdoor environment, lovely natural toys and the wonderful and friendly colleagues.
Leanne Potts, Nursery Manager mentioned: “We had such a fantastic Open Day, and we are so proud of our new nursery Warwick Gates. It looks great and will provide an amazing environment where our children can grow and develop with the support of our excellent nursery team. We’re looking forward to welcoming all of our little pioneers as they begin or continue their education and development journey.”
Officially open its doors in September
Receiving such high interest from local families, Warwick Gates nursery is already fully occupied, and ready for the official opening on Monday 5th September. We look forward to it and welcome all our new colleagues! 😊👍
