A children's nursery opened under a new name after a takeover by a team renowned for the excellence of its childcare at another children's nursery in the area.
Laura Cardy and Nicola Cooper, the owners of Altrincham's Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery, opened Timperley's Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery last weekend.
The site on Stockport Road was the site of Timperley Village Day Nursery, but it was sold to Ms Cardy and Ms Cooper to run it as a franchise of Monkey Puzzle, of which there are dozens across the UK.
The children's nursery opened under the new name at an event attended by VIP Marvin the Monkey after a renovation indoors and outdoors.
A spokesperson said: "With over 20 years of experience within Early Years teaching we have a vision for Monkey Puzzle and we know the children will thrive within our renovated setting.
"We will use experience and skills from our Ofsted Outstanding and national award-nominated nursery in Altrincham to ensure the children and the parents of Timperley receive the best.”
The team at Altrincham's Monkey Puzzle Day Nursery is renowned for the excellence of its childcare.
The site on Market Street opened around six years ago and, last year, it received an outstanding rating.
The report said: "Children blossom in this well-organised, high-quality nursery.
"They are warmly welcomed at the main entrance by enthusiastic staff and happily find their friends as they start an exciting, joyful day of learning.
"Children lead their own play and explore their creative imagination, inspired by the stimulating range of resources, in cosy and comfortable spaces.
"They concentrate well and develop a deep curiosity to explore and test out their own ideas."
At the time Ms Cardy and Ms Cooper said: "As the owners of Monkey Puzzle we are immensely proud of this achievement. We have put our heart and soul into delivering outstanding childcare since we opened.
"It is great to see that our staff team have been recognised for their dedication, hard work and passion whilst providing the best Early Years care and education to the children within our Monkey Puzzle family."
