Employer Description:
A private family run business based in a converted listed building offering charm and character. Harlequins are are one of the first original nurseries in the area and have been there for over 23 years! Harlequins looks after children from 6 weeks to 5 years old, over 2 floors, in the caterpillar room and butterfly room. They operate 51 weeks a year. They are proud to share with you their off site trips. Strawberry / pumpkin picking to walks in the blue bell wood, the zoo, theatre and many more. Harlequins day nursery building was originally built in the 1860s as the first steam powered hosiery manufacture in Leicester and is a listed building due to this fact. The present owners purchased the falling down building in 1996 and had it totally re-built from the ground up and only the walls were left standing, it benefited from a total architect design refit and has been built to cater for child care. The Butterfly Room has the original vaulted ceiling that we have many things hanging that will surprise and delight parents and children alike with many original fittings still there. The Caterpillar Room is warm and inviting with beams and original stair case still there and some of the pulleys that drove the leather belts to the weaving looms that once stood there.
