Charity should start at home - or at the family nursery as this bunch firmly believe.

A total of £250,000 is being spent on building work at a children's day nursery and pre-school, in Wimborne Road, Southchurch.

The work is being carried out by the owner's husband along with his team of builders.

Liz Webb, the new owner, came across an old Victorian house which has been empty for two years and felt it was the ideal place to open up a new nursery. Her husband Kevin is busy refurbishing it.

He said: "It's a great place. We have a team of 15 people on the site working hard to finish the work."

Mrs Webb also runs Crowstone Montessori Nursery Centre, in Westcliff, and bought her latest project last month.

The centre, to be named Oak House Montessori, will benefit nearly 90 children aged from birth to eight years.
