Old Station wins fifth army contract

Childcare group the Old Station Nursery has won its fifth contract with the Ministry of Defence, offering childcare to military families.

The group will be opening a new purpose-built 56-place nursery at Imjin Barracks at Innsworth near Gloucester.

Imjin Barracks is the new home for NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), who are being transferred from Germany.

The nursery will be the 13th setting for the group, which was set up by managing director Sarah Steel in 2002.

The Old Station Nursery will be taking bookings from the beginning of April and expects the Imjin Barracks nursery to open on 1 September.

Ms Steel said that running the new setting would be an interesting challenge.

'The ARRC is multi-national and I have already been in touch by e-mail with a whole host of different nationalities, from Hungarians and Poles to Italians, Germans and Americans,' she said.
