Working in partnership with Sure Start Skegness and Skegness Infant School, nursery has been able to develop a first class facility. Designed specifically for children, the building will provide a safe but exciting and stimulating environment.

Skegness Nursery is managed by the Pre-school Learning Alliance, which is establishing a network of over 30 Neighbourhood Nurseries nationwide. The underlying objective is to provide flexible, affordable high-quality daycare for parents living the 30% most deprived communities.
