A NAME has been chosen for a new nursery school opening in Melksham. The Little Fir Tree Nursery at Lowbourne Infants School, due to open in September, will cater for children aged between three months and five years old.

The name has been chosen because it reflects the school's location and because it is the title of the school's song.

A spokesman for the school management committee said: "We believe the chosen name is distinctive and reflects the fact that we are in the Forest area of Melksham."

The nursery will have facilities for children with special needs including a sensory room.

A manager, Margaret Eccleston and deputy manager, Marie Burton, have been appointed and up to 16 jobs could be created.
