Founder Helen Morris said: "We believe in providing a home from home nurturing environment where children can flourish and where curiosity, adventure and fun is the heart of learning. Thanks to the support of the Development Bank of Wales we’re able to offer our services and learning-through-play ethos to local families."
The micro loan was arranged on behalf of the Development Bank of Wales by investment executive Claire Vokes. She said: "Helen has provided high quality facilities that are really in demand for the area. She’s now looking ahead to a very successful new academic year, with parents already booking places for September 2021. We are delighted to support her and the Brighter Minds Childcare team as their business grows."
