A New Eltham nursery has been given a grant to provide additional places for two to four-years-olds.

The £20,000 grant from Greenwich Council to Wyborne Primary School means the nursery has been able to remodel part of its school.

Danny Thorpe, leader of the council, visited the school to cut the ribbon.

He said: "It was fantastic to open Wyborne Primary School’s new nursery building and have lunch with the pupils.

"By increasing the number of nursery places now more children will benefit from the school's educational opportunities and working parents from 30 hours' free childcare."

James Searjeant, headteacher of Wyborne Primary School, said: "We have been able to expand our nursery provision to accommodate more full-time places.

"Our children can now eat their lunch in a comfortable, quiet and age-appropriate dining space."
