  • Park View Nursery in Millom awarded £5,406 to restore & develop the outdoor play facilities shared by Park View Nursery School and Millom Pre-School to create safe, good quality play area for the children of the area 
  • Kells Infant School awarded £500 for the development of an out of school dance club

  • Frizington Early Excellence - Lets Dance awarded £3,325 to provide opportunities for the social and physical development of children and their parents in an area which has so few other facilities. 
  • Seascale Nursery awarded £1000 to improve the outdoor play opportunities for nursery aged children in Seascale     

County Councillor Ronnie Calvin Chair of the Local Committee says 

"One of our priorities is to extend early years education and childcare services for the people of Copeland. Access to good nursery education and childcare are essential to contribute to the well being of families and the educational progress. This Committee is delighted to work in partnership with local parents to improve how these services are delivered locally. We have already seen the value of extending these services to families and children in the area and I am sure that this extra money going towards these projects will make sure that more families have access to these facilities."
