Little Footsteps nursery to open at Scarborough hospice

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Nov, 13:02 · Archive

Little Footsteps nursery is opening its second site at Saint Catherine's Hospice in Scarborough in January.

Little Footsteps nursery is launching its second setting at Saint Catherine's Hospice in Scarborough, with the new nursery opening in January. The expansion follows the success of its original site in Columbus Ravine and comes after space became available at Saint Catherine's when Eastfield Surgery, which had been temporarily housed there, returned to its own premises.

The nursery will be located towards the front of the Saint Catherine's building, close to Flavours Bistro and the Barn Boutique, on the opposite side of the site to the in-patient unit. Gemma Pace, director of income generation at Saint Catherine's, said: 'The nursery and the hospice will operate separately, but we are very much working as a team when it comes to supporting each other.' She added that having the nursery on site will help bring in much-needed income for patient care at the hospice.

Janet Collinson, part of the management team at Little Footsteps Nursery, said: 'This is such an exciting new chapter for our setting, and we feel very privileged to be able to grow our Little Footsteps family and become part of the Saint Catherine's community.' The nursery operator said it is looking forward to creating a warm, welcoming and nurturing environment for children.
