A role play centre for young children has opened its doors in a Northumberland town following a five-figure investment.
Little Morpeth’s play space, based on Grange Road, features a number of themed areas loosely based on locations within the town which are equipped with all the costumes, toys and accessories needed for imaginative play. The business has been set up by qualified teacher Steffanie Parrott, who wanted to offer play facilities to families which fill a gap in the market - having realised there were no similar facilities to her vision anywhere further north in Northumberland.
The £18,000 Small Loan Fund investment, obtained through regional fund management firm NEL Fund Managers, has supported the fit-out of the new attraction and will also help with recruitment and marketing activity around the launch. Three new jobs have been created at the new venue, with more expected to follow.
