Panel: What does developing new nursery provision mean for the finance and operations teams?

<span data-contrast="none">Opening new nurseries or extending existing provision to younger children are exciting developments that can bring huge benefits to the trust and its families. It can also present significant financial and operational complexity for the central team. This session explores the experience of the Lion Academy Trust, an 11-school primary trust that has extended nursery provision, taken it in house from private providers, and, most recently, set up a new nursery from scratch. Join David and Kelly to hear about the issues overcome by the Lion team, the opportunities created in their trust and wider community, and the insights gained along the way. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"> </span> <span data-ccp-props="{"> </span>
