    Comments: not all staff need to have nursery places available. but it's a useful option if you want to return to a job you have been trained for and enjoy, without worry.

    Comments: BBC News relies heavily on an exceptional level of flexibility from its staff - which puts pressure on their family lives constantly. The provision of workplace nurseries is an extremely important incentive in returning to a workplace that is often downright hostile to the right to balance work and home life. The shortage of nursery places in now way justifies the closure of the limited provision. It should rather lead to a review of whether there should be an expansion. I don't have children yet but I fully understand and support my colleagues who are parents and who rely on workplace nursery provision to allow them to continue working.

    Comments: Surely employers are supposed to be trying to be more family friendly nowadays, not less It's hard enough for us without children to try to balance our work and life and other family commitments, and i I had children i would certainly find not having a creche a real problem.

    Comments: I am not a user of the nursery myself, but i feel very strongly that it is a provision the BBC should be making - and that it should if anything extend, rather than close the service.

    Name: Nadine on Feb 14, 2007

    Comments: I understand that it is unfair that so few BBC parents get to benefit from nurseries, but I would argue that the best business alternative is to open more of them over the next few years, not fewer. In making these cuts, the BBC is not putting a cost on greater absenteeism and loss of productivity through stress and distress brought on by not having parent & child within arms reach of each other. Maybe the BBC could think twice about paying Johnathan Ross

    Comments: The decision to close the nurseries is unfair to working parents and bad for the business. Not a wise move at all.

    Comments: I don't have children myself but feel strongly that the decision to close BBC nurseries is a step backwards. The provision of nursery care for employees' children was one of the good things about the BBC and demonstrated a flexible, family-friendly, progressive business that could have been a model for other big companies. I am very disappointed about the decision to close the nurseries. It seems to be all about money these days and not about the people who help make the money for the BBC.

    Comments: I know the nursery near Bush house has been invaluable for many staff and I dread to think what people will do now. It is really important that parents can have their children looked after near where they are working.

    Comments: Directly I am unaffected by the closure in Sept 2009 of the Caversham nursery as this coincides with my daughter starting school. However, the provision of a workplace nursery has been invaluable!

    Comments: The BBC claims it pays its female correspondents less because on average they're less experienced, and five years younger, than their male counterparts. If they can't provide childcare support how can they ever hope to redress the balance

    Comments: The BBC's nurseries are oversubscribed so the "fairest" solution is to close them altogether Paul Fiander's decision shows ignorance and immaturity. Forward thinking companies believe in investing in the family. And for the Regions to be forced to close down their nurseries on the orders of London displays an arrogance and contempt.

    Comments: I have had the pleasure of using the BBC workplace nursery for 6 years. It was very comforting to know that your children were in a safe environment just a few minutes walk from where I was working. Without this provision I doubt that I would have carried on working at the BBC because childcare outside is very expensive and you have to travel further to drop-off and collect your children. Having a work place nursery created a relaxing working atmosphere for myself because I knew my children were in safe hands, just a stones throw away.
