The Crèche

The crèche has been developed after the refurbishment of the buildings and was supported in its development by Trusts, local funders and Surestart. The crèche can be utilised by training providers who can bring crèche workers on an outreach basis and for community groups to use for after school clubs.

Bootle and Sefton Play Council support the development of after school facilities and Surestart, a government initiative that supports children of the ages between 0-4 to thrive when they enter early education now based at Orrell Mount support the provision of childcare in the area.
