There are 4 children on NW6 which 2 of them work from 10-4 and third is not well presented to us parents. As result this, Acol is the only one which offers a wide range of working hours and good services and facilities. I was really surprised when I heart about the Acol's closure.

I cannot speak highly enough of the dedication and professionalism of the staff. She was given such a great grounding for school life, and my wife and I, who are both working parents, will be forever grateful to the staff at Acol. It would be outrageous to lose this facility for other people in the borough coming along behind us.

Please reconsider this appalling decision & keep this nursery open to continue to benefit the local children who are already suffering the Sure Start cuts.

Bu cutting things like subsidies on basic child care you are harming the future of this country and effectively forcing people out of the work place as it becomes non economical to work while paying exhorbitant child care fees.

Acol enables many parents to work full time to support their family, knowing that their child is looked after in a stimulating, safe and enjoyable environment.I am worried the council have not considered the long term effects of the closure-many parents will simply not be able to afford private childcare sector & have no alternative but to stop working, claim benefits etc. Please don't close it!

This will not only make it impossible to continue working, but will also disrupt my child's continuity of care.
The whole situation will be unfortunate for several families, and will force people to seek alternative childcare, which may not be available or simply too expensive.
This will have a damaging long term effect on our children and disrupt the lives of hard working families like mine.

]]> Tue, 1 Feb 2011 05:17:56 UTC 9472476 Ms Charlotta Kajanus [Signature #6] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/9471997?utm_medium=rss In order to keep the economy going we need good, affordable childcare for our children! It seems such a waste to close down a centre that provides excellent care with highly motivated staff that goes an extra mile to make sure that our children are safe and happy. Having two children under the age of 5, private childcare is not an option. The closure of the centre would lead to one of us giving up work. Surely it would be more benifical to the economy as a whole if we both worked and paid tax?
