Speaking after the opening, he said: "It was a real pleasure to declare Little Pioneers Nursery in Woolton Hill open.
"This fantastic new facility will provide much needed nursery places for local families in a wonderful, spacious setting where children can learn, play and thrive.
"This has been a true community effort and I’d like to congratulate everyone in overcoming the bureaucratic hurdles in the way, particularly the head and staff, the Chair of Governors Chris McGowan and his team, parish council, and local councillors Sam Carr and Tom Thacker.
"I look forward to seeing the nursery flourish and succeed in the years ahead."
The nursery is expected to welcome its first cohort of children in the coming months.
