Private operators for pre-school education revealed
Publication Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 07:11
The Department of Education and Children has announced which private operators will lease its pre-school facilities.
It follows a decision to stop providing free pre-school education from the end of the summer term.
Following a lengthy selection process 10 of the premises have now been filled - with the educational Manx charity Mooinjer Veggey securing over half.
No provider came forward for the premises at Jurby but the department says it is in discussions with a third party and is hopeful there will be provision in place by September.
The Department has also decided to readvertise Bride also because they say it is not economically viable unless it is offered on different terms.
The facilities will be leased out as follows:
Ashley Hill - Mooinjer Veggey
Auldyn - Stepping Stones
Ballacottier - Mooinjer Veggey
Ballasalla - Mooinjer Veggey
Cronk-y-Berry - Sandcastles Kindergarten
Manor Park - Mooinjer Veggey
Peel Clothworkers - Busy Bears Nursery
St John’s - St John’s Pre-School Trust
Victoria Road - Nursery at Victoria Road School
Willaston - Mooinjer Veggey
