House of Eden Children’s Nursery, based in the Pioneering Care Centre (PCC), Cobblers Hall and the Sure Start Centre in Stephenson Way, celebrated 25 years of childcare provision in Newton Aycliffe on Friday 19th April 2024. The staff celebrated the event by attending the pantomime ‘Cinderella’, at the Hippodrome Theatre, Darlington.
Cobblers Hall Nursery Manager, Louise Boustead, and Stephenson Way Manager, Kimberley Dobson, were delighted to see the entire staff enjoying a well earned night out.
Director, John Newbould, said, “it’s been an eventful 25 years and it’s entirely down to the dedication of our staff that has made it possible. We are looking forward to the next 25. Some of our staff have been with the nursery from the beginning and we also have parents bringing their own children to the nursery who attended themselves as babies.”
Opening in Rushyford in 1999 the nursery outgrew its original building and moved to Cobblers Hall in 2011. The PCC building provides a wonderful nursery facility with modern open plan rooms, two excellent garden areas and an outdoor courtyard. In 2010, House of Eden also opened a nursery in Stephenson Way providing childcare within walking distance of the town centre in a purpose built nursery with excellent facilities.
Both nurseries are offering government sponsored free child care places, for more details contact Louise Boustead, Nursery Manager, Cobblers Hall – Tel: 01325 329931 or Kimberley Dobson, Nursery Manager, Stephenson Way – Tel: 01325 315623.
