MSP & Councillor Welcome News of New Larkfield Nursery

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) and Ward Councillor Innes Nelson have today (Monday) welcomed the news that Inverclyde Council is to open a new nursery in the Larkfield area of Greenock following last October’s closure of Ladybird Pre 5 Centre.

Mr McMillan attended and spoke in support of the campaign to save Ladybird Pre 5 Centre at the public meeting on Wednesday 13th October 2010.

Mr McMillan said;

"I welcome the news that a new nursery is to be established in the Larkfield area of Greenock.

"I was only too happy to attend the public meeting in support of the campaign to save Ladybird Pre 5 centre. Therefore, I am pleased that a new nursery will be established in Larkfield.

"I note the number of places at the new nursery is less than what was previously available, however, this is a step in the right direction."

Councillor Nelson said:

"The new nursery, although not a like for like replacement, will go some way towards meeting the needs of parents in the area."
