Exciting News for Porthleven First Steps
We are delighted to share some exciting news with you! As of October 1st, we have expanded our nursery provision by leasing the entire St. Elvan’s Children Centre from Cornwall Council. This significant development marks a wonderful opportunity for us to grow and better meet the increasing demand for childcare in our community. With the recent roll-out of Free Funding, we’ve received numerous enquiries from families seeking places for their children, and we are now better positioned to accommodate them.
Expanding Our Nursery Spaces
One of the key benefits of this expansion is the ability to offer more places for babies and young children. We recognize the importance of early years care and are committed to providing a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for your little ones. Over the coming months, we will be repurposing two additional rooms within the centre, which will allow us to significantly expand our baby care provision. This will help reduce waitlists and give more families access to our high-quality services.
New Library and Enhanced Learning Spaces
We have already started making improvements to enhance the experience for both children and staff. One of our first initiatives was the transformation of our former office into a beautiful new library. This dedicated space will not only foster a love of reading among the children but will also serve as an area for small group learning and focused activities. We are very excited about the impact this will have on the children’s development, encouraging creativity, language skills, and social interaction in a calm, cozy environment.
Our new office space has been relocated to the main entrance foyer, making it more accessible and central to the entire nursery. This change will allow us to be even more available to parents and staff, ensuring smooth communication and better service overall.
Looking to the Future
We are incredibly excited about the changes ahead and what they mean for the families we serve. Our goal has always been to provide the highest standard of care and education for children in Porthleven and the surrounding areas. The additional space will give us greater flexibility to create new programs, introduce more activities, and accommodate the evolving needs of our community.
Rest assured, we will keep you updated every step of the way as we make further improvements. Photos and updates will be shared regularly so you can see the progress for yourselves. Our team is working hard behind the scenes to ensure a seamless transition as we grow.
A Special Thanks
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Cornwall Council for giving us this opportunity. Their support has been instrumental in enabling us to take this exciting step forward, and we are confident that the expanded facilities will allow us to better serve families both now and in the future.
