A Harrogate nursery is set to reopen in October, following a period of closure due to short notice staffing issues.

The newly rebranded Partou Safehands Day Nursery and Pre-School will reopen on Tuesday, October 1.

The nursery, which was rated 'Good' in its latest Ofsted inspection, has a new team of childcare professionals led by nursery manager Vicky Gildea.

It is located in Abbotsford House on Kent Road.

Ms Gildea said: "I am excited to take the reins at Safehands which has undergone refurbishment over the past few months.

"Since its closure, the setting has been re-branded to Partou Safehands following the merger of Just Childcare and All About Children under the Partou banner.

"As the leading childcare group in the Netherlands, Partou is renowned for its child-led approach which encourages confidence and curiosity.

"My team is really enthused by the direction the nursery is taking and we look forward to welcoming many new faces to our beautiful setting."

The nursery will hold open days today (Tuesday, September 24), Wednesday (September 25), Thursday (September 26), and Saturday (September 28), for families to visit before the official reopening.
