We are also open to a build only option, from which the Trust can either lease directly to then procure a crèche provider, or the building could be leased by the crèche provider directly in order to provide the Trust the service required.

The Trust currently operates similar long term lease property options with other providers so is well adapt to providing sustainable long term investment schemes for partners.
All costs regarding feasibility surveys, design and planning prior to build are the responsibility of the interested parties.
