The original inspiration for Portree Nursery Ltd. came from a group of dedicated parents who 'fired' by a lack of suitable premises for a playgroup, fund-raised 10,000 for this purpose. Grants were received from Highland Council Development, the Local Enterprise Company and the European Leader Fund to a total of 55,000.
These were on condition that a daycare facility was also provided for children aged 4 months to 8 years. In a matter of months the dedicated parents had taken a voluntary playgroup and transformed it into a non-profit making company. The Daycare opened as an unknown quantity but it soon became evident that there was a greater demand than there were places for this popular, well-used facility.
