PARENTS and children are being invited to open days at the new Fun-2-Sea Nursery at Palma Court, Brookend Street, Ross-on-Wye, on Sunday from 10am to 1pm and Monday from 10am to 6pm.

Those who come along can not only enjoy the soft play fun facilities, face-painting and mask making, but can also benefit from a free morning or afternoon's childcare if they register on the day.

The nursery is set to officially open on March 1, welcoming children between the ages of two and five, with the backing of Herefordshire Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership and OFSTED. There will be a capacity for 24 children at a time.

Joining Hayley Downing in her new venture are fellow partners Kerry-Ann Sharrock and Zoe Pritchard, who are experienced in the early learning childcare sector and live locally.
