A nursery is spreading positivity by sharing an initiative everyone can be involved in from their own home.

Little Angels Nursery and Preschool in Uppingham is encouraging parents and children to plant the seeds from their apples so that one day these will grow into a tree.

Childcare providers are increasingly struggling to get parents to agree to pay a voluntary contribution to take up their 30-hours place.

Nurseries, childminders and pre-schools that charged full fees during lockdown are facing mounting pressure to refund parents after an industry watchdog deemed it unfair to charge fees for services that were not provided.

Parents in England will be forced to pay higher fees for childcare this year because of a lack of government funding, new research suggests. Nurseries and childminders are being driven out of business, while staff feel stressed, demoralised and even suicidal.

Rutland MP Alicia Kearns has praised the Little Angels pre-school at Uppingham.

The MP said on Facebook: “This week’s Rutland and Melton Heroes are Lucy Lewin and the whole team at Little Angels Uppingham who were nominated by quite a few members of the community for putting together arts and crafts packs for local children as well as delivering free food parcels to vulnerable families using local butchers and food producers.

More than £12m has been paid out by an East Midlands council in government-funded grants to in excess of 1,000 businesses to support them during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This week, Rutland and Melton MP Alicia Kearns is recognising the team at Little Angels Childcare, Uppingham, and Wymondham’s Kumar Rakshit, and Max and Will Moore for their outstanding response to the COVID-19 Pandemic…

When confronted with the unpredictable world, we need people with the ability to problem-solve, to be creative, and think differently. These skills are shaped and nurtured from a very young age. No one appreciates this more than Lucy Lewin, owner of Little Angels in Uppingham.
