Silver anniversar­y for nursery

-

A BURTON nursery has celebrated its 25th anniversar­y.

It was back in 1997 that Violet Way Nursery was founded by Di Marshall. A quarter of a century on, it is

a thriving enterprise run by Our Pride Our Joy, a subsidairy company of the Fierté Multi-academy Trust.

Regional manager Sharon Shilling said on the website: “We aim to provide quality childcare for the parents and children within our communitie­s so that parents can access wraparound care, nurseries and holiday clubs all in one place.”

Sue Blackman, who has been the nursery manager for 10 years, said the past quarter of a century had been an “amazing” time.

She added: “Over the years we have expanded and flourished.”

The nursery managed to keep its doors open during the coronaviru­s pandemic to support the families of key workers.
