New nursery operation is all in the family

It's a family affair at a Leicestershire nursery that is set to open at the end of this month.

The Riverbank Day Nursery in Melton Mowbray is to be operated by six relatives who will be using their different areas of expertise to make sure the setting gets off to a flying start.

Carol and Neil Cartwright, and their son and daughter-in-law Jeremy and Sylvia, are the joint owners of the new nursery. Accompanying them in running it will be Carol's sister-in-law Barbara, who has taken on the role of manager, and daughter Nicola, who is the nursery's cook.

The only member of staff to be recruited so far who is unrelated to the Cartwrights is deputy manager Dawn Richardson.

The setting, which is registered to take 38 children and is located next to a school, officially opens on 28 September.
