Michele Fynan, Business Relationship Manager at Royal Bank of Scotland said:

“I am pleased that we have been able to support Shahed and Asma with the opening and development of Little Footprints. They have created an outstanding facility which will help to provide more choice to families in the area looking for childcare.”

Designed to provide a safe, comfortable and engaging environment for children to explore, Little Footprints has four separate rooms dedicated to providing specialised care for children within specific age groups.  These are Tiny Toes, First Steps, Little striders and Happy feet.

The nursery also has an array of fun, innovative and educational facilities, including a sensory room and a safe and secure outdoor garden that all children will have access to everyday. Owners Shahed and Asma Deen have also employed a dedicated chef to ensure that all meals are freshly prepared on the premises and are designed to be full of nutrition and flavour to promote a healthy and well balanced diet.

Asma Deen, Owner of Little Footprints Nursery, said: “We are thrilled that the new nursery is now open and are looking forward to welcoming children and their families to have a look at the facilities we have created. 

“We have invested a great deal into the development of the nursery and I know that we have created somewhere that both children and parents will love. The nursery has been carefully planned, ensuring that the setting provides children with a stimulating yet nurturing environment, and is filled with fun and educational resources.

“The support we have had from Royal Bank of Scotland for Little Footprints has been fantastic and has enabled us to develop a nursery of the highest standard.  Our Relationship Manager Michele Fynan has been on hand throughout the process to provide support and we couldn’t be happier with the service we have received.”
