Name: Michael Duncan on Feb 7, 2007Comments: Both my wife and I work for the BBC and have used the BBC nursery at Maklin Street for all our three children. They have all gone onto school now but it provided excellent nursery care and peace of mind at a reasonable price (subsidised by the salary sacrifice tax loophole) and helped us juggle work and childcare. It is grossly unfair for an organisation like the BBC, whose principal resource is its relatively poorly paid shopfloor staff to screw those staff one more time. It's penny pinching and at variance with the platitudes management spout about encouraging work life balance, equality of opportunity and getting the most out of their highly qualified and trained staff.Flag

Name: KIRSTY REID on Feb 7, 2007Comments: I didn't use the Macklin street nursery for my children. It wasn't sufficiently close to my home. But many of my colleagues at Bush house have used it over the years. And I never resented the fact that they were benefitting from a nursery that I wasn't using. I was just glad that they had good childcare which meant they could apply themselves fully to work while they were here. I think it's a disgrace that the BBC is closing down its nurseries. Surely the BBC is meant to be a forward thinking employer.Flag

Name: Mark Doyle on Feb 7, 2007Comments: The nursery at Macklin street was a vital part of our childcare arrangements during a complex time for our careers. Both my partner and I work for the BBC and the nature of my job (Correspondent) meant it was essential to have an understanding nursery. Please do not close the facilities.Flag

Name: Claire Penketh on Feb 7, 2007Comments: Subsidised childcare is vital to all familes and is the mark of an employer that really cares about its staff and their wellbeing. As the BBC expects and gets so much from its staff in return for the coverted chance to work with them, the least it could do is help them to do that work by providing good quality child careFlag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 8, 2007Comments: My three children attended the nursery over a period of eight years. The quality of care was such that I was able to return to work at the BBC and commit fully to the job in hand without worrying what my children were doing. The Macklin Street nursery should remain, so that more of us can do the same.Flag

Name: Karen Tanner on Feb 8, 2007Comments: BBC Personnel, as it was when we set up our nursery at Monitoring, had no doubt at the time about the value for recruitment and retention of staff. The move for closures now shows what value is really put on the people who produce what the public appreciates about the BBC.Flag

Name: Maja Fish on Feb 8, 2007Comments: It's shocking to even think that the BBC migh close the creches. It would be a scandalous measure. BBC programmes go on and on about work-life balance, lack of support for families...and now this! We should go on strike over this.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 8, 2007Comments: It's scandalous that the BBC are closing their nurseries and claiming that it represents a fairer deal for all. It's a blatant cost-saving measure and shows quite clearly to everyone that the BBC has no care for its employees whatsoever. While other major companies are embracing flexible-working practices and providing low-cost or even free creches to employees, the BBC seems intent on stepping back into the stone age. Maybe we should set our children to work in the generator rooms of the BBCFlag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 8, 2007Comments: I am a producer in the Natural History Unit. I can only return to work if I am confident that my child will have safe, excellent nursery care. I have worked here for seven years and have much experience and skill to offer, and without childcare this will go to waste at a time when the Natural History Unit is desperate for qualified producers. The Bristol nursery DOES provide places for every child that needs it, and cost the BBC next to nothing (the use of the rooms only). It is the most incredibly short sighted decision to close it.Flag
