Nursery moves closer after play area go-ahead

A Blackpool day nursery which is set to open this year has taken a major step forwards with its plans.

The Little Giraffes Day Nursery, based at the former Bispham United Reformed Church hall on Warbreck Drive, Bispham, had already successfully applied to Blackpool Council planners for a change of use from a church hall to a nursery last October.

But before it opened, the operators were seeking planning permission for a variation of a planning condition which would allow for the outdoor play area to be significantly increased in size, using part of the car park.

Permission has now been granted for that work to go ahead.
