Vibrant new children’s nursery to open in Brimington

9th April 2024

A brand new children’s nursery will be opening in Brimington this May, and prospective parents and families are invited to pay a visit.

Heywood House will provide quality childcare for children aged 3 months to 5 years in a fun, vibrant and safe learning environment with fresh and healthy meals delivered every day.

The owners have over 35 years’ experience within the childcare sector. Having purchased the grade II listed building on High Street, Brimington last Autumn, substantial renovation works have been made to create a vibrant and welcoming children’s nursery for all.

The nursery will be open from 7.15am until 6pm 52 weeks a year excluding Bank Holidays. Early Years funded places are available. The striking feature of the nursery is its location, within a charming and attractive grade II listed building which has been redecorated with fun bright colours.

Its gardens to the rear have been extensively renovated so that the children can learn and develop in a secure green space, outdoors with nature, whilst having fun with their friends.

Company Director Matt Bell said: “As an organisation, we strive to provide the highest quality care for every child in a safe and friendly environment. This enables all our children to learn whilst having fun and reaching their full potential in preparation for school.

“The nursery will be Ofsted registered and we follow the Birth to 5 Matters guidance and the setting will be a mix of child centred and adult led learning. We’d also like to thank the Vision Derbyshire Business Start-Up team for helping us on our way with this new venture in Brimington.”

The nursery will officially open its doors in May 2024, but has open days planned throughout April for parents and carers to have a look around. These are:

10th April 11.00 – 14.00
13th April 11.00 – 14.00
6th May 11.00 – 14.00

Housebuilder announces launch of 150 new homes in Brimington

2nd November 2022

A new development in Brimington is continuing to progress, with show homes now available to view on the site which will bring 150 houses to the area.

Construction of the houses on the Brimington Heights site is being carried out by Bovis Homes (part of Vistry Yorkshire), and comprises of 150 three, four and five-bedroom homes.

It provides options for those stepping onto the property ladder for the first time, growing young families, as well as those looking for a place to downsize after their children have flown the nest.

As part of local authority planning conditions for the development, Bovis Homes injected just over £100,000 into the local community, including £57,060 to NHS North Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group.

The development also includes a number of ecological enhancements, such as a native hedgerow that has been planted along the northern boundary of the site, providing a landscaping buffer as well as a feeding corridor for wildlife.

Offering the best of both worlds, Brimington Heights is perfectly positioned just minutes away from the heart of Chesterfield, and on the edge of the Peak District National Park. For those looking to venture a little further afield in any direction, Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield are easily accessible by road or rail.

The developer launched the new homes by inviting viewers onto the site for a spooky family fun day to coincide with Halloween.

All weekend (29-30^th October), Halloween crafts, face painting, pumpkin carving and even a ‘trick or treat’ treasure hunt were on offer for kids of all ages. Adults enjoyed a glass of fizz on arrival and a selection of nibbles as they took an exclusive peak at the show homes on site.

The Brimington Heights sales team were on hand throughout the event, to talk through new price releases for the properties on offer, as they helped a range of homebuyers understand how they could own a new home on the development.
