A children’s nursery destroyed by fire is set to officially reopen in a brand new building in a York village.
In February this year a fire caused by an electrical fault tore through the nursery at Copmanthorpe and firefighters were called in shortly before 6:30am.
Now, finally after some time, the Copmanthorpe Childcare Centre has reopened and on Saturday (October 1) staff are holding an official open day to welcome in the community.
Assistant manager, Jo Brown, said: “On the day of the fire we got a call to say the building was on fire and firefighters were on site. We got to the nursery at about 7am, and it was a huge shock to see the extent of the damage. The firefighters had put it out by 8am and the building was still standing, but inside nothing was salvageable and it wasn’t safe.”
