NDNA pulls out of provision

The National Day Nurseries Association will stop delivering daycare following the sale of its Grantham regional centre to a Nottinghamshire-based nursery chain and its decision to put its four other centres on the market. Children First @Breedon House, of Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, has bought the 112-place nursery in Lincolnshire. It will soon provide daycare for Swingbridge Children's Centre.

NDNA Regional Centres Ltd, a subsidiary company, has put the four other NDNA centres in Birmingham, Halton, Hounslow and Hartlepool on the market.

The centres, which are all neighbourhood nurseries, opened in 2004, and cost on average 1.5m each to build. They were financed by 1.5m of capital funding from the Neighbourhood Nurseries Initiative, and other sources including the Big Lottery Fund, the London Development Agency and the European Regional Development Fund (Nursery World, 9 December 2004).
