After 36 years of serving the Keyham community with dedication and care, Pelican Children’s Centre has officially closed its doors and is no longer trading. Once a vibrant hub for local families, the nursery has now become a symbol of the changing times, with its closure marking the end of an era in Plymouth’s early childhood education landscape.
Pelican Children’s Centre, which started in 1988 as a humble parent-toddler group, provided quality, affordable childcare for children aged 2 to 5 years. Over the years, the centre became a beloved institution, nurturing generations of children in a warm and enriching environment. But as the demands of running a small nursery have grown—rising operational costs, government funding issues, and economic pressures—the cherished centre has sadly joined the list of UK nurseries forced to close.
