Portland Nursery Group offers Discount on Childcare for Local Businesses

Award-winning Portland Nursery Group are offering a 10% discount on childcare at Bradley House Nursery and Fairfield Nursery for parents who work in businesses close to the site.

As part of their commitment to helping local employees and parents, Bradley House are offering the discount to employees of Forget Me Not Trust, All Saints High School, the NHS and businesses located at Bradley Business Park. Fairfield Nursery are offering the discount to employees of Lidl, Tesco, Yorkshire Water and the NHS. This is for children who are to start between now and 1st March 2024.

Earlier this year, Portland Nurseries Group acquired Halifax based Totspot Nursery - Shelf, growing the Group from five to six settings. Now renamed Fairfield Nursery, it is a 62-place purpose-built nursery that was established in 1995.

Portland Nurseries was founded in 1991 by childcare pioneer Rosemary Murphy and set the standard for childcare in Huddersfield - and across the UK - as Rosemary used her first-hand experience at Portland to establish the NDNA, for which she earned an OBE.

The Portland group, which has six settings across West Yorkshire in Edgerton, Birkby, Bradley, Lindley and Shelf - three of which are rated Outstanding, the highest rating given by regulator Ofsted - is run by Rosemary’s children, brother and sister Anastasia Murphy and Michael Murphy and offers children and education from birth to 5-years-old.

Joint Managing Director Anastasia Murphy says:

“We understand that a lot of parents are experiencing tighter budgets with the current cost of living crisis. We want to do everything we can to make childcare more accessible and affordable for those working locally to our nursery. In 2022 we introduced a free childcare policy for all of our own employees in recognition of their hard work. We are committed to supporting working parents, especially during these trying times.”
