Hide AdThe Light House Community Group charity, which took over the East Community Centre at the start of the pandemic, has been working closely with the Early Years department at Peterborough City Council and education watchdog Ofsted to register the pre-school under the charity.
It comes after the former charity overseeing the pre-school closed its doors after the summer holiday in 2021.
East Community Pre-school trustee Miss Lexer Lavu said: "Our main focus over the last nine months has been to get everything in place to get the pre-school re-open as quickly as possible to minimise any further disruption to local families.
"We are grateful for the support from Peterborough City Council and Ofsted to help us achieve this.”
