The former Pumpkin Patch nursery in Governor’s Hill, North Douglas, has been officially opened under a new name, Beehive Douglas, according to Isle of Man Today.
The Speaker of the House of Keys, David Ashford MBE, performed the opening on 26 October, the outlet reported.
A Beehive spokesperson said the Pumpkin Patch had served the Cronk-y-Berry community for more than three decades, looking after several generations of local children. The spokesperson said the nursery was proud of that history and looking forward to its next stage as Beehive Douglas.
The Douglas nursery now carries the same name as its sister setting, Beehive Onchan, which reached its 40th anniversary last year. According to the spokesperson, uniting the two under one name would let them draw on many years of shared experience while keeping the care families already know.
“Although our name has changed, our commitment to the children and families in our care remains exactly the same,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson also thanked current and former families, as well as staff, for their part in shaping both nurseries.
