Glebefields Tipton Nursery offers 36 full daycare places five days a week and provides a home from home for children between six weeks old and school age.

Michelle Ford, Nursery Centre Manager said:

"It's great to be able to officially open our nursery at Tipton. Working in partnership with Sure Start and other local bodies, we have managed to create a wonderful nursery for parents and children. The nursery has already been well received by families in the area and I hope this will become a well used facility."

Margaret Jones, Regional Executive Officer in Midlands Region Pre-school Learning Alliance commented:

"I am so pleased that families in Tipton will have the opportunity to use a first class facility, where parents and children are welcomed into a friendly, safe and caring environment.
