As a small family-run business in Lancashire, Evergreen Early Years has proven itself to be adept in finding effective solutions to ensure it remains financially sustainable.

The early years provider operates two settings in Preston, the first of which is a purpose-built site that opened in 2017 within the grounds of an urban primary school and caters for 40 children aged two to four.

A second, larger nursery setting was opened four years later on the site of a former school located in a quieter rural area and offers places for up to 72 children aged up to four.
