We are very fortunate that in our on-site Children’s Centre building we will soon be welcoming ‘Ready Steady Grow’ 0-4 year old day-care provision as they move premises from the Shibdon Bank building. New fencing is currently being installed to provide a more secure access for users of ‘Ready Steady Grow’.
