A Dundee nursery has closed suddenly after eight years in business.

Jojo’s Nursery on Old Glamis Road told parents in an email on Tuesday night that it was closing immediately.

Jojo’s was able to cater for up to 75 children at a time, and as well as young children, it provided out-of-school care for youngsters up to the age of 16.
