Middle Temple Nursery Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/middle-temple-nursery.html Online petition signatures en-us Sat, 18 Apr 2026 12:12 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Ms Lucy-Ann Dale [Signature #158] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7988222?utm_medium=rss I have long wondered why no such provision was available in any of the Inns of Court. I really hope that the Benchers of Middle Temple will take this opportunity to show themselves to be progressive thinkers when considering this proposal. Say yes, charge the nursery the same commercial rent. Take away that argmetn and a refusal starts to look like prejudice.

In these difficult times for the Bar, and for practitioners carrying out publicly-funded work in particular, a Nursery at affordable rates, is exactly the kind of proposal that the Inns should be looking to support, rather than oppose.

I strongly believe that the need for nursery facilities is very great and would make a huge difference to equal opportunities at the Bar. It would also be helpful in showing that Middle Temple, and the Bar generally, have a forward-looking approach in tune with the needs of modern working professionals.

The idea of my child/children being nearby is very comforting.

Why should anybody who have worked very hard to have a career be expected to give it up when they have children. Even if its on a part-time basis they should be given the opportunity and peace of mind to know that their child or children are properly cared for not far from where their office is based.

Middle Temple would be instrumental in helping women to stay at the Bar during a period of life that is key not just for careers but also for children. Not to mention the fact that fathers and young children benefit from seeing eachother too. It's difficult to measure the financial value of that. While I am passed this stage, I would have valued such a comitment by the Inn and hope it will be able to do the right thing.
