Pepperberry Day Nursery, run by husband and wife team Gillian and Anthony Akaraonye is set to open on Hawthorn Street in October.
Gillian and Anthony have over 40 years of combined experience working with families and educating young people. Gillian has been teaching for over 20 years and specialises in child development whilst Anthony's background is in Children's Services.
Together they set up Select Educational Services in 1990, which over the years has helped 30,000 pupils across the North West with educational support. Then in 1999 they established Auckland College, a small fully independent school in Liverpool catering for children aged 0 to 18 years of age.
Gillian, 45, said: "We're really excited to be opening Pepperberry. The last year has been spent making our nursery a great place for little ones to learn.
"We now have a team of dedicated staff on hand to look after the children and we've been working hard putting together a timetable that will cater for their educational needs but also ensure they have lots of fun too.
"This is a dream for us and we have invested in state of the art learning equipment and very highly qualified staff to provide the best possible care."
The nursery is set in attractive gardens and boasts a sensory room, a sleeping room, an outdoor play area and has CCTV and fingerprint security. Gillian and Anthony have also invested in interactive teaching boards for each classroom and the latest educational equipment and resources.
The nursery will employ over 30 staff, including an in house chef who will be on hand to provide tasty, fresh and healthy meals and snacks.
Gillian added: "We're both passionate about young minds and we hope we've created a nursery that encompasses everything a parent and child could wish for."
Open Days, giving parents and children a chance to get a feel for the new nursery, are being held on September 24th and 25th September between 11am and 4pm.
