Puddleducks Day Nursery is the city centre's only nursery provider and operates on Glengall Street
A Belfast city centre nursery has welcomed the development of the new Grand Central Station and the wider regeneration of the city centre.
Speaking to Belfast Live, manager of Puddleducks, Sharon Malcolm, said they're happy to see regeneration taking place in the city centre, and plan to be a part of such development. The team hope the opening of the new train station will bring more people back into full-time city centre working. "It gives a lot of parents peace of mind that while they're working in the city centre, their pride and joy is just a few minutes walk away."
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK and Ireland without a childcare strategy in place. On April 20, a march organised by group Melted Parents NI took place in Belfast, with parents calling for changes to the childcare system here, which they said can cost £15,000 per year for just one child on average.
"I've worked in early years for a very long time, and I think the challenges we're facing at the moment are unprecedented and really our own source of our only source of income is through the fees that parents pay.
