The outstanding nursery at Launceston College
has just been rebuilt. It is situated just at the
Hurdon Road entrance to Launceston College.
It is a deceptively spacious, low-profile, fully-
accessible modern building which offers three
light and airy play areas, a sleep room and all
the necessary storage and ancillary rooms. The
playrooms open straight out onto the level
garden and there is now a sheltered area
immediately outside so that all activities can be
carried on indoors or outdoors. The nursery has
its own parking and drop off area at the
entrance to the college. This nursery is
particularly convenient for Launceston town,
commuting to Plymouth or via the A30.
