From office to oasis: Elegon’s inspiring Nursery expansion

When the demand for childcare opportunities in Northamptonshire soared - thanks to government-backed funded hours starting from nine months, the forward-thinking team at Acorn Early Years Day Nursery in Stanwick found a golden solution right next door: a vacant workshop space waiting to be transformed.

Enter Elegon, the local, family-run construction specialist with a niche in educational and early-years developments. The brief? Deliver a turnkey design-and-build renovation that wouldn’t just create more space, it would create a better, brighter future for the children, staff, and community.

A seamless, stress-free Turnkey Service

Here at Elegon, we took charge from concept to completion:

- Architectural design, planning permissions and building control

- Project Management & coordination of all speciality trades (plumbing, electrics, carpentry, decorating, roofing, outdoor works & many more…)

- Interior fit-out of kitchens, bathrooms and bespoke fittings, including wellie racks and chair storage

The nursery received one point of contact and one consolidated invoice, no juggling multiple suppliers, no chasing quotes. Elegon’s long-standing network of trusted trades brought reliability, expertise, and craftsmanship to every corner of the project.

Spaces that inspire and support growth

The goal wasn’t just to add rooms, it was to create environments that inspire learning and joy. The transformation included:

- A large preschool room designed for group learning and active play.

- A bright, comfortable staff room to give the team a proper place to recharge.

- An efficient commercial kitchen and office area to streamline daily operations.

Outside, bespoke additions like mud kitchens and climbing frames encourage outdoor exploration and creative play.

Results that speak for themselves

The extension increased capacity from 54 to 81 places, meeting the urgent local demand for early years childcare. Most of those spaces were filled within weeks, and five new jobs were created to support the growing community of families.
