Northern Ireland's First Registered Private Day Nurseries Celebrate their 20th Anniversary
Wednesday 22 August 2007 Wee Care Day Nurseries - set up in 1987 and the first private day nurseries in Northern Ireland - are celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year and to kick off the celebrations, each branch is having a party for children and parents.
Bouncy castles, face painters and balloon modellers along with plenty of party food will ensure that the children and parents a like will have a great day! Mary Buchanan, partner and founder of Wee Care Day Nurseries said;“Wee Care Day Nurseries was set up because after having children, I realised that there was huge a lack of quality childcare in Northern Ireland and it was difficult for parents to be able to continue to work once they had children. Through Wee Care we wanted to remove the worry that all parents feel at leaving their children during the day by providing a loving, friendly and homely environment for children and professionally qualified carers. The high standard of care we provided proved very popular and as a result Wee Care has gone from strength to strength with four branches in the Belfast area and one in Dublin.” Lynne Herbison from Employers for Childcare said;“At Employers For Childcare we see first-hand, the issues that parents can face juggling work and family life. For parents to be focused in the workplace, they need to be content with their childcare choices. We fully endorse Wee Care’s commitment to delivering high-quality childcare solutions for both parents and most importantly, the children entrusted to their care. We really appreciate Wee Care’s on-going support with pro-actively promoting the Employers For Childcare Vouchers scheme, saving both parents and employers, money and making registered childcare more affordable. We congratulate Wee Care on 20 years of success and look forward to continuing to work in partnership with them in the future.” For media enquiries, contact Wee Care’s PR & Marketing Manager Claire Noble on 028 9058 2889 or 07866 116207 or via email: claire@weecare.co.uk.
