Description

Here at The Barn Day Nursery, we have worked with children for well over 50 years and have a wealth of experience in the childcare sector. We are passionate in giving children the best possible start in life and works very closely with our families to ensure this. In 2019, Joe achieved Early Years Teacher Status, a highly regarded accomplishment in the Early Years Sector. Jan has worked in the childcare industry for well over 40 years and firmly believes that the foundations for a successful happy life, lie in the Early Years.

Our passion has always been to enrich the lives of children and ensure they meet their potential in an environment that is both caring and educational. It is our belief that children learn best when they are confident that the people who are caring for them love and respect them; listen and understand them and are consistent and patient in their care and guidance.

This love, respect, care and guidance is at the heart of what you will see when coming to our nurseries; we do everything we can to ensure that children in our care get the best possible start in life.

Both the nursery and neighbouring properties are owned by Cornwall Council and Leased to Truro and Penwith Academy Trust (TPAT) who then sub-lease to ourselves. The identified space is in need of extensive refurbishment including windows, insulation, flooring, lighting, general electrics, internal rendering/decoration, ceiling, access from the playroom, new play equipment, CCTV expansion including IT in order for it to be a useable space.
We have had a preliminarily sought consent from Cornwall Council and TPAT where we have applied for funding to increase capacity in our nursery. There is a substantial need to increase nursery provision within the area of St Ives and Carbis Bay; we currently have a waiting list until September 2025 (and beyond). There is high need for baby places which we are unable to cater for due to the limitations of our play spaces.

This contract opportunity is undertake the renovation and expansion works and this will be able to increase our capacity substantially.
The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
