In order to meet the needs of our families by 2020 when early learning and childcare entitlement for all children will almost double, a new much larger building is planned for Glenwood. The new site is adjacent to our current centre in Eastwood Park. Building work begins approximately 8th July. This is an exciting time for us and we look forward to working with the builders to involve the children as much as possible in the work. Their will be windows on the fencing around the site for us to view the progress.

Naturally there will be some disruption while this work is taking place. There will be construction traffic near our centre and a number of restricted areas. All construction vehicles will enter the site through Eastwood Park and will minimise entry during peak times. Parking at the allotments will be reduced as this area will be cordoned off.

In order to minimise the impact of this work for the coming year we suggest considering alternative ways to travel to nursery instead of the car where possible. There will be an number of identified safe pedestrian routes through the park and if you can consider walking or cycling to nursery or even part of the way, this will ease congestion. There are some alternatives to parking at the allotments including Eastwood Park, the pavilion, Woodfarm Road or even Rouken Glen Park and walking the fairly short distance from there.
