EMPLOYEES at St James Business Centre near the Southern Gateway will be able to spend a lot more time with their children thanks to the centre’s latest letting.

The Little Day Nursery has moved in on the ground floor and will be able to care for 60 children from 7.30am to 6pm on weekdays from April 25.

Jayne Furnival, group property director for Wire Regeneration which runs St James Business Centre, said the new nursery is evidence of Warrington’s healthy economy.

She said: “We are delighted to welcome The Little Day Nursery to St James Business Centre, which is at its highest ever occupancy level, having seen nearly a 20 per cent increase in tenants over the last year.

“Figures out recently showed that Warrington has the sixth highest level of new company formation outside London and that’s been reflected in our experience.

“Our flexible space has proven a real draw and having a nursery will merely strengthen the centre’s appeal.”

Nursery managing director Anita Curbishley said: “St James has a lovely feel to it and the space lent itself perfectly to a day nursery.

“There’s lots of room for the children to play and enjoy themselves, plus some lovely quiet corners when they need a nap.

“There are lots of parents with young children here so we’re already ahead of our forecasts with regards to occupancy.

“We can offer free early years entitlement for two and three-year-olds and from the number of baby seats I’ve seen in the car park I think that might be quite popular.”
