Graduation at The Tick Tock Nursery ??
Tick Tock Nursery Aspley

*Councillors Graham Chapman and Patience Ifediora attended the graduation of 22 primary school children from the Tick Tock Nursery based on Denton Green.*

A few years ago councillors helped get the nursery established for local families. Thanks to the excellent management of its owner Natasha Bryan, it has gone from strength to strength, opening a second branch in the Bells Lane Community Centre.

Early years education is essential to give children a decent start in life and a facility like this in our estate is amazing.

Little Sparks Babies and Toddlers Group
Little Sparks Aspley

*We are so grateful for the support of Nottingham City Council in assisting us financially to start Little Sparks [ [link removed] ] parents and babies/toddlers group at Woven St Martha’s Church in Broxtowe Estate. *

We are open during term times on Thursdays 9.15am – 11 am. We’ve been able to purchase new toys to add to our pre-loved donations, safe-to-drink coffee cups, and invested in a new street sign to increase visibility.

Families love coming here, and with our large space and existing soft-play area we hope to increase our numbers to create a fun and welcoming community where parents can enjoy that extra support and for it to be a real highlight in their week. 

- Peter Huxtable, Vicar at Woven St Martha’s Broxtowe

Streets for People programme making good progress
Streets for people

*Over 70 resurfacing schemes have been completed so far across the city.*

In 2021, the council successfully bid as part of a competitive process for money from the Government’s Levelling Up fund to improve streets and local town centres, and make walking and cycling easier and safer.

Nottingham City Council has approved £11million of improvements to make our neighbourhoods greener, safer, better places to get around. Streets that have been improved in Aspley so far include:


* *Roads* - Lindbridge Road, Eltham Drive and Frinton Road
* *Paths* - Bramley Road, Camborne Drive and Amersham Rise

We are also setting money aside for tree work and bin replacements. You can find out more by visiting the streets for people website [ [link removed] ].
