About Tender Years Day Nursery

Tender Years was opened in May 1990 by Mary and Ged Meechan and was taken on by their eldest

daughter, Lisa Whitehouse in January 2008.

Tender Years is now ran by the combined skills and effort of

Lisa, Donna (the Nursery Manager) and Mrs Barker (our Early Years Teacher).

We can accommodate up to 74 children in total and have an experienced staff team who aim to ensure each and every child within our care is happy, contented and achieves their full potential.

We are open from 8am till 5.30pm, Monday to Friday.

We close for a week over Christmas and on bank holidays.
