The county council has set-up a new company called NCC Nurseries Limited to run the six nurseries, all of which are based within the local authority area. Staff previously employed by the Trust have also been offered their jobs back.
Yesterday (Thursday 12 December), Norfolk county council re-opened the nurseries under its new ownership after they shut last month.
The other two nurseries operated by the Trust and based in Suffolk will remain closed however. Suffolk County Council said it has been working with the community and parents to minimise the impact of the closure of the nurseries.
Sarah Jones, Norfolk County Council’s director of commissioning, partnerships and resources for Children’s Services, said, ‘We are really pleased to have played our part in bringing this nursery provision back for the Great Yarmouth community. We know it is a valued and key part of the community for children and parents.’
