I've now read the letter, is this definitely going ahead as the letter says "share with you their INTENT to close Fairlawn's nursery"

Someone on Facebook is planning on setting up a petition so when they do I'll post the link.

Dear Parents/Carers,

It is with great sadness that the Governing Body has to share with you their intent to close Fairlawn’s nursery at the end of this academic year (August 2016).
At Fairlawn we are absolutely committed to early education; the decision was made because it is no longer financially viable to keep the nursery open. We have made many changes over the last few years in order to try to keep costs down whilst ensuring the children still have access to the same exceptional learning experiences. However, due to falling numbers and the high running costs of the separate building and site, the nursery is currently being heavily subsidised from the main school budget. With a reducing school budget due to borough-wide cuts, the financial position is no longer sustainable.

We appreciate that the closure of the nursery will be particularly unsettling for those of you who still require nursery places next year (2016/17). As a result, we would like to explore offering those children affected a place at Haseltine’s nursery.

We will work with all our families who need nursery provision in September 2016 to help secure alternative places.

We appreciate that this may raise many questions and concerns, so we would like to invite parents/carers to a Question and Answer session at the nursery with governors and school leaders on either of the following dates:

Tuesday 26th January at 8.40am.
Wednesday 27th January at 12.25pm
We understand that this will upset and inconvenience families. We are so sorry to have had to make this decision as a result of a challenging financial context but we will work with you in an attempt to minimise the impact.
