Why did you decide to open a new 94-place nursery in Haddington, East Lothian?
Our two existing nurseries, one also in Haddington and one in Dunblane, had long waiting lists. There are 1,000 new homes being built in Haddington and we were turning children away, so we felt it was the right time.
How did you go about opening the new setting?
A former bed and breakfast came on the market, and we secured the property on 18 May and opened on 26 July, so it was a very quick turnaround. Luckily we didn’t have to do any major structural work, just some internal decorating and installing sinks. Although it’s our third nursery, this is the first one we’ve opened from scratch.
