Clockwork Day Nursery, owned by father and daughter Jack and Lorna Meredith, has opened a second site, spending £350,000 on modernising an old church building in Audenshaw, which has provision for 78 children from birth to four. The new business has created 35 jobs.
The new nursery also runs an out-of-school club for up to 24 children aged 4-12 and a holiday club.
The Merediths established Clockwork in 2002 with a nursery in an old Victorian school building in Ashton-under-Lyne after Lorna was unable to find suitable nursery provision in the area for her then three-month-old son Jack.
The decision to expand with a second nursery came after Clockwork had achieved Investors in People status and had been rated as outstanding by Ofsted in 2013.
