A NURSERY has received an award for its quality of care. Asquith Court, based at the David Lloyd Leisure Centre in Bolton, has been awarded the National Day Nurseries Quality Counts Kite-mark.

The Quality Counts scheme aims to promote quality day care and education for all children by developing, encouraging and maintaining high standards.

Nursery manager Sarah Jones said: "We are delighted to have received this accreditation.

"We have always striven for the highest quality care at Asquith Court and believe that the Quality Counts Kite-mark will signify our commitment to this cause," she added.

The purpose-built nursery, which has been open for five years, has 80 children on its books, ranging in age from babies to five-year-olds.
