A NEW pre-school in Potterne is holding an open day on Saturday.

Carers Nest Pre-school will open in September next to Five Lanes Primary School and replacing Bright Sparks Pre-school.

Owner Emma Blackmore said: “We are committed to offering a home-from-home environment, which offers a very natural environment with lots of interesting wooden resources and lots of cushions, blankets and beanbags in our cosy area.”

Mrs Blackmore has been a registered accredited childminder for the past 13 years in Melksham, receiving an outstanding grade from Ofsted.

The other staff are supervisor Kelly Davies, a childminder from Melksham, and play workers Jackie Phillips and Susan Hartley.

The open day on Saturday is between 2pm and 4pm.
