The Natural Childcare Company
has applied for a facility at Bentley Manor, Box Trees Road, Dorridge, for up
to 89 children at one time.
The building – currently
offices – would take children aged up to five from 7.30am to 12.45pm
or 1pm to
6pm or all day.
It said the facility is
needed as there are currently two children for every nursery place in Knowle,
Dorridge and Hockley Heath.
Early Birds Day Nursery at Knowle Primary School 12.30pm to 3.30pm
each day while Hampton Nursery in Browns Lane 8pm to 6pm .
Little Folks Day Nursery,
Warwick Road, Knowle takes up to 60 children from 7.45am to 6pm and Tommy
Nursery School, Warwick Road, takes up to 51 from 7.30am to 6.30pm.
The planning application
seeks permission from Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council to change the
buiding’s official use from offices to education.
It said the plan will create 16 full-time and 14 part time jobs and include 20 parking spaces, six for
staff, and three more disabled and three more for motorcyles.
The nursery would also
include a “beauty room” for “pampering” of mums and dads, the application says.
It says the plan “will
provide a valuable and accessible service for the surrounding towns and
villages”.
