Parents of children at St Andrew's Community Nursery were blindsided by its abrupt closure after 40 years, citing unsustainable financial burdens without prior warning.
Catherine Ames emphasized the personal impact of the nursery closure, stating, 'Our son says that he is part of the family at St Andrew's. He feels so safe and happy there and has really gained in self-confidence being with the other children and all the staff who take care to know everyone personally.' Her concerns highlight the emotional ramifications for children losing their safe space.
Kate Powdrill expressed her frustration and urgency regarding the closure, commenting, 'I rely on it to be able to work. I don't understand why the trustees won't talk to us and let us work with them - the clock is ticking to save the centre but you can see by the response from the community that we won't give up until its future is secure.' This statement underscores the community's determination to advocate for the nursery.
