Nursery launches 'drop and shop' sessions

A Middlesbrough nursery has introduced ‘drop and shop’ sessions to give parents some ‘me time’.

Zizu’s Daycare and Learning Centre, which opened in September, launched the  sessions last week for parents wanting time alone to do shopping, get their hair done or attend an important appointment.

Paid for by the hour, the sessions for parents of children over the age of four are available on Thursday nights for late night Christmas shopping and on Saturdays for a minimum of two hours at a time. The setting is currently offering a deal of buy two hours, get one free.

The sessions cost £7.50 per hour, slightly above the normal rate charged by the nursery to pay for increased staff wages.
