Friends of Hackney Nurseries:-
We are a group of parents, nursery workers, local residents
and community activists who believe that quality childcare
should be affordable and accessible to all. Childcare is a basic need for families - especially women. We need to provide childcare as a community - not isolated in our own homes. We need accessible, quality nurseries for all.
At the end of April at least 8 community nurseries in Hackney were informed of immediate cuts in their budget of up to 60%, or about £50,000. This will mean the serious threat of nursery closures, and hardship and distress for parents, workers and children. The Learning Trust and Hackney Council are denying that there is a programme of cuts to nursery provision - so we want to know:
Where has the money gone?
How can nurseries keep running with such drastic cuts?
Why are all the politicians and officers passing the buck and
not answering our questions?
After previous successful fights against cuts to nurseries, Friends of Hackney Nurseries has re-activated to fight against cuts, and to fight for even more and better childcare provision locally.
