BARONESS Cathy Ashton has launched a new nursery in Lewisham.
The Sure Start Minister was due to open the Wheelhouse Neighbourhood Nursery on the Pepys Estate, Deptford, on June 10.
The Wheelhouse is the first of 30 nurseries opening on housing estates and other sites before March 2004 through educational charity Pre-school Learning Alliance.
The centre will offer full day-care for five days a week, from 8am to 6pm all year round.
Councillor Katy Donnelly, cabinet member for lifelong learning, said: “We are delighted to welcome the nursery into the borough. It is important parents can go to work confident they are leaving their children in a safe environment with high standards of care.”
