University of Birmingham - Elms Day Nursery School
Elms Day Nursery, based in Edgbaston, offers childcare for local parents and carers. With a vibrant indoor space and welcoming outdoor area to promote learning in the natural environment. Despite being managed by the University of Birmingham and close to the Edgbaston Campus, the nursery is open to everyone whether they are affiliated with the University of not. This makes the centre a key feature of the local community and important that it continues to provide a first-class service in a welcoming setting.
Working in a live environment: as the nursery remained occupied throughout the works, we had to ensure that we were not working in the vicinity of the children. Therefore, when they were playing outside we had to move to another elevation or alternatively the setting’s manager would ensure the children were playing in other outside areas, separate from operatives. We managed this through daily liaison with the nursery manager and regular progress updates.
Products used:
• Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior High Gloss
• Dulux Trade Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint
• Dulux Trade Ultimate Woodstain
• Dulux Trade Metalshield Gloss
• Cuprinol Cladding and Fence Opaque
• Repair Care Dry Flex 4
Project Details:
Ian Williams undertook external redecorations and associated repairs at the Elms Day Nursery, which remained operational throughout the works. Works included masonry painting, painting wood stain windows, rainwater goods, boundary fencing and metal railings.
There was a quick turnaround from award of contract to starting on site as the nursery wanted the work to be completed as soon as possible.
