The childcare lottery has become an overwhelming triumph
Nicola Holt, a nursery owner from Coningsby, initiated a lottery to provide parents with the chance to win free childcare. Since its inception, over 200 nurseries across Lincolnshire have joined the initiative, offering a 12-month free placement as the grand prize each month. The scheme has attracted approximately 4,500 participants, with a portion of the proceeds supporting local charities. Plans are underway to expand the lottery to other regions in the UK.
Nicola and her friend, Emma Dickens, the managing director of the lottery, which is registered as a prize draw, want to take the project nationwide.
