A VILLAGE has gained a nursery after a family converted part of their house to look after children.

The West View Day Nursery, in Middleton St George, was created after the Tarakji family applied to convert the downstairs of their home in Middleton Lane into a nursery.

The nursery is due to open in the coming weeks.

It will accommodate 38 children up to the age of five.

Hazel Tarakji, who has three children of her own, said: "My mum's a nursery nurse, and we've always had a lot of children around, so it will be lovely to open a nursery in our home."
