A new 81-place children’s day nursery has opened on the site of a former Chinese restaurant in Hilton, with Lots for Tots Childcare welcoming its first flurry of children this month (September) to the Eggington Road nursery.
MHL Commercial created a brand-new nursery space for pre-school children in the area – transforming the 0.42-acre site where the Mandarin restaurant used to be.
Simon Moore, director at Midbrook Buildings, said: “From the moment we got involved with the site, we knew that it had such great potential. We designed and constructed the building and worked with Lots for Tots Derbyshire to create a stunning place for their children.
“This building is now a valuable community asset to the village of Hilton, and it was a real pleasure to work hard to get the everything ready for when it opens in September.”
Beth Wheatley, director of Lots for Tots Childcare, said: “I am so proud of our new building and the incredible team of staff we have in place. I’m really looking forward to welcoming our first families through the door this September — exciting times are certainly ahead.
“I’m excited about the future and about growing a space where children, their families, and our staff can truly thrive together. I’d also like to say how truly grateful I am to everyone who has helped bring this vision to life. We’ve received such wonderful support already, and it means the world.”
Commercial property consultants, OMEETO, completed the letting of the new business in Hilton, after the site was acquired by Derby’s MHL Commercial.
Chris Wright, OMEETO director, said: “This has been a really exciting project to be involved in. The team are enormously passionate about what they do, and they have created the perfect space for children to learn.”
