From November 2012, 8 of HMRC's on-site Bright Horizons nurseries will be closed for good. The closures will leave countless families scrambling for alternative nursery place in a very slim timeframe. The nursery staff have been made redundant. Last but not least, scores of babies,toddlers and pre school children will have their early year's education disrupted as well as being parted from their friends and carers.
The decision is a puzzling one. The quality off Bright Horizon's care is not in question. HMRC claims that the take up of nursery places is dropping but this simply isn't the case. The nurseries remain as popular as ever, with outsiders as well as HMRC staff. Places are not subsidised by HMRC nor do they own the buildings..
The nurseries affected are:
Nippers Nursery, Leicester
Deansgate, Wolverhampton.
Hector's House, East Kilbride.
First Friends, Ty Glas.
Castle Meadow, Nottingham.
Peter Bennett House, Leeds
Cheeky Cherubs, Salford
Chaucers Walk, Blackburn
Sign this petition to show that demand is still high for HMRC nurseries and persuade HMRC to reconsider its decision.
