PARENTS at the Alexandra Hospital with young children will soon have a 50-place crche after Redditch councillors backed the plan.
Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust was keen to build the crche to attract and retain more experienced nursing staff.
In a letter supporting the application, the trust wrote it was having problems recruiting staff because of the lack of crche facilities.
The £300,000 project will see a single storey building at the back of the hospital.
