The Highfield Hall Community Association has withdrawn their ultimatum and agreed to a fair contract for Broad Oaks Nursery. Your support provided the weight needed to secure our place in this building and protect the care we provide to our children. I hope we can now turn our attention toward …

The small group of 7 members that includes 4 or 5 good friends make up this HHCA and volunteer to provide a service for the community.
We want you to help us by signing this petition to show your support for a local nursery and to raise awareness of an upcoming AGM meeting at Highfield Hall Community Centre on Marsh Lane and to gain more members onto the committee who are willing to support a local service such as a nursery.

The feedback from local families regarding the nursery situation has been truly sobering. I am currently preparing for the upcoming committee meeting to present these concerns directly to those in charge of the community centre.

Seeing this groundswell of support confirms how deeply Broad Oaks Nursery is woven into the fabric of our daily lives. This momentum suggests that our neighbors truly value accessible childcare over the rigid demands of the current committee.

this nursery needs to stay!! at the end of the day its those children who will suffer if it gets shut down... they will have to create that bond a trust all over again in a new nursery and that shudnt have to happen!! broad oaks nursery is by far a brill nursery so I think it should stay!!!
Hope this makes a difference, if not I'd happily join in on some other ways of stopping them. Maybe we could contact the local papers? Surely a charity shouldn't be trying to break up a nursery that parents and children in the community rely on. Not very charitable! X
Ridiculous!!!! My daughter went to this nursery and they run a fantastic scheme ... She came on leaps and bounds while she was there and it gave her a good start for school ... Good luck hope somebody listens!
Children Need Consistency In There Life's And Parents Need Child Care They Can Trust You Force Broad Oaks To Close You Deprive Alot. children parents and Employees with families This is Has A Negative Affect On The Whole Community.
Well if the nursery are forced to leave and they don't find another user group to pay 70% of the total bills of the community centre's total it won't be long before this council owned building is sold off for a possible site for houses!! Just what the community needs!
The Nursery provides a needed service to the local community and should be retained.
It seems as if the dance group and the association members have other plans for the building, maybe and this has been suggested that a local singing and dance business see the building as somewhere to relocate and come together with mutual businesses. They might feel that the nursery is in the way. Councillor gillies has a singing tuition business and her daughter a dance class, would be understandable to assume this could be the case. But as said before how many parents will be able to afford these extra classes if they are not working, because they have no local childcare

This nursery should NOT be forced to move. Lots of little children will miss out if it has to move, my grandaughter being one of them. Some parents depend on this nursery so that they can go to work. Highfield Hall Community Association should be ashamed of themselves
