APPLETREE GROWS FROM LITTLE SEEDS

Wales’ first 21st century children’s nursery, Appletree, is coming to Cardiff. Situated in the heart of Cardiff’s National Sports Village, this 4000 sq ft venue has the potential to transform society’s approach to childcare.

Vicki Buttle, managing director of Appletree Nursery and professional nursery nurse, has worked with children all her professional life. She feels that the time is right to embark on this pre-school revolution. She said: “Appletree has been specifically designed — from its inception — to meet the needs of children. Unlike other nurseries, it offers a toddler gym, dance studio, white/light sensory room, as well as state-of-the-art pre-school computers.

Appletree’s environmentally-friendly building scores particularly highly in energy efficiency. Vicki is mindful that this is important to parents. She said: “We recycle and our children have their very own recycling area for cardboard and plastic. We always aim to make the interior very homely for our children. At Appletree everyone gets a warm welcome. We feel strongly that all children in our care should feel valued, loved, safe and inspired.”
