A new nursery has opened its doors as it looks to help families with “affordable” childcare in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis. 

Foundation Nurseries, which set up its first space in Ilford last September, is welcoming children aged two to five to its new Rise Park site. 

Open five days a week, from 7am to 7pm, the new nursery also offers a tea and coffee service at weekends. 

Tony Charles, managing director at Foundation Nurseries, said: “Our clear vision is to offer affordable and outstanding childcare to the entire community."
