Troubled Edinburgh nursery goes to receivers

An Edinburgh nursery has gone into receivership amid financial problems and following a number of complaints to the Care Commission.

Owner and managing director Monica Langa has been running Prime Time Nurseries in Edinburgh city centre for seven years.

A spokesman for the Scottish Commission for the Regulation of Care said, 'We are aware that Prime Time Nurseries has gone into receivership and we are monitoring the situation.'

The chartered accountants Johnston Carmichael have been appointed as the receivers and are currently trying to find another buyer for the Edinburgh nursery.

Ms Langa has been planning to expand and open a new 120-place nursery in October in Maxim, a £330m office park situated between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

As Nursery World reported, she has already taken bookings with deposits from people working at the new business park and started recruiting senior staff (Work Matters, 3 September).
