   Comments: Why not make the creche facility available to all staff Parents would probably feel it was worth contributing more to make it financially viable for the company if that means keeping the service - why not poll staff about this before making any decisions It is the provision of a reliable service (rather than economic considerations) that makes it an attractive and valuable staff benefit - which may help the beeb retain the best people.

   Comments: This is precisely the kind of measure that hugely impacts the quality of life for BBC employees. To remove the provision of creches is unforgiveable. Not all change is progress, and taking away something that has worked so well for so many BBC parents for so long seems completely at odds with the kind of employer the BBC claims to be. For those who have children, who plan to have children or even who just care a great deal about the way the BBC provides for its staff, this is simply the wrong decision and MUST be reversed.

    Comments: the BBC should have its "Investors in People" status withdrawn if it continues to disregard the basic family requirements of its staff.

    Comments: Justification based on only available to some is not valid as the loss of a member of staff due to nursery costs impacts a whole team.

    Comments: I don't need childcare these days, but 10 years ago the availability of support for childcare had a big impact on my decision to work somewhere. Such schemes are vital to help employees balance work and family life, and I think that in everything like this it is always better to help those that you can than to help no-one at all.

    Comments: Although not a parent it is important to keep the nursery open in order to help our parent colleagues. The BBC claims to be a company that helps work/life balance and should ensure the nursery stays open

    Comments: The amount of savings envisaged by closing the BBC nurseries seems small when set against the loss to BBC employees. It seems strange and unacceptable to me that BBC employees/parents were not consulted during the BBC nurseries review. Surely their views should have been an important consideration for the review team - unless the BBC as an employer does not care about the concerns and interests of its employees. The fact that the review team felt it knew that parents would want to keep the nurseries is no excuse. The review team could not have known, and made no effort to determine, the strength of feeling among staff on this issue.

    Comments: I don't have children, and don't benefit from the BBC nursery. But I do have colleagues who rely on them, and I know that they wouldn't be able to work if the nurseries didin't exist. They are not free - parents pay for them, and if it takes more to pay, then have that debate rather then a decision to close them.

    Comments: I gather from the letter I received that the closure of the workplace nurseries is because too few staff members benefit from them. Surely the answer is to expand provision not abandon it altogether. Working parents do need support in order to continue contributing to the workplace. The additional cost of losing experienced staff and training new workers due to the financial and practical constraints of childcare are being ignored. And lest it be forgotten - an expanding future population is needed in order to fund pension provision.

    Comments: Although I have not personally used the BBC-subsidised nursery at Macklin Street near Bush House, I do know many other parents who did or still do, and who found it invaluable. I am very sad that the BBC is choosing to level down and withdraw this service - it doesn't tally with the organisation's stated support for working parents.
