An application to build the facility at the former Broomhill Primary School annexe site, between Crow Road and Randolph Road, has been submitted to planners.

It follows a similar proposal for a site in Govanhill.

Part of broader measures to increase capacity in order to meet new obligations to increase the provision of early years learning and care by 2020, the Broomhill centre will provide space for up to 87 pre-school children.

The Govanhill facility, for up to 87 two to five-year-olds, is proposed for a small playing field beside category B-listed Cuthbertson Primary School, in Cuthbertson Street, beside Victoria Road.

Accommodation will include four playrooms, a dining room reception/office space, parents’ room, staff room, kitchen and laundry room, and toilets/changing facilities.
