Ten of the 15 projects given cash by the New Opportunities Fund (NOF) to create new nurseries across England are to be sited in the North-East, Yorkshire and Humberside regions, including two in Hartlepool - one of the worst unemployment black spots in the country.
One setting to gain will be the 100-place Little Angels Nursery in Huddersfield when the St Mary's Mission Church is renovated with the help of a grant of more than 76,000.
