Gedling day nursery to close at end of month

A nursery in Gedling is to close its doors for the final time later this month.

The directors of Duncroft Day Nursery in Duncroft Avenue have informed parents that the business will close for good on January 31.

In a letter sent out to parents last week, directors Pauline Medri and Margherita Padovano wrote: “The 15 year lease on the building has come to an end, but we have sadly decided not to renew this further due to our own personal commitments

They added: “We have operated Duncroft Day Nursery for over 15 years and have enjoyed every minute of it.

“We would like to say a big thank you to all parents we had the opportunity to work with over the years and all the fantastic staff and children we have met along the way.

Liz Furnell, who is grandmother to two children who attend the nursery, told Gedling Eye: “It’s a sad loss to the community and a really sad loss to the children who attend this amazing nursery.”

Gedling Eye has contacted the nursery for further comment.
