For a few years now, LAdS has been working on renovating bathrooms and kitchenettes in groups. While all bathrooms have been done, there were five kitchenettes remaining
We are happy to let you know that thanks to kind support of a dear friend and sponsor one more kitchenette has been fully renewed (4 more to go).

Kitchenette finished

Work started in the beginning of March and children had to be moved to another group from, which was three times smaller than their usual one. Of course, it wasn’t easy for them… but the result was worth the effort 😉

As always, when repairing, much attention was paid to safety and sanitary norms: that’s why both kitchenettes have been built from scratch. Everything: walls, floor, water, electrical and heating systems are new.

Considering the electrical system in this group already had serious problems couple of times (short circuits and smell of burning wires) it was decided to change it as well
new wires in the walls

Besides nice repair the kitchenette is now equipped with new, very practical and modern furniture
