A NEW nursery is set to open its doors in Castle Vale at the start of the new academic year.
Pegasus Primary school, part of Summit Learning trust, has been awarded a £150,000 grant to build a new nursery.
There will be 20 places for 2 year olds and 20 places for three and four year olds at a new pre-school, before they start at the primary school in Reception.
The nursery hours will be available to families in school term time.
Adam Ames, principal at Pegasus Primary School said: “We are delighted with the grant to build a new school based nursery.
“We know our local families would like their children to start in nursery with us and continue onto primary school.
“This grant has meant we are able to meet the needs of our community, whilst maintaining our reputation for offering children a high standard of education at Pegasus.”
By introducing a brand new nursery, Pegasus aims to provide a seamless educational journey for children, reducing the number of transitions they experience when joining full time school in Reception.
