Please support our petition to keep open our wonderful nursery at Sutherland House in Crawley. The decision has been made to close without any consultation with parents or staff as to ways to save the nursery. This decision has been taken for purely commercial reasons and takes no consideration of the fantastic care and atmosphere inside the nursery which our children love. To add insult to injury we now have only 8 weeks to find new childcare and for the amazing staff to find new jobs. Please sign to voice our outrage at this decision to the Directors of Busy Bees

The Directors of Busy Bees think they can just gut our community for profit and walk away. We are almost at 250 signatures so slam that button right now to force them to look at our faces.

Perhaps, if the directors of Busy Bees subsidised the fees for Paymaster staff, it would be able to remain open? A lot of parents wishing to return to work, and having a chreche on-site would appeal immensely.

My daughter goes to the Nursery and she is very happy where she and took her a long time to settle in. She will now have to start all over again which is not fair, they are only children and do not deserve this treatment

My daughter has been attending since October and thanks to the friendly and homely environment created by the fantastic staff has settled in really well and enjoys her time there. I urge Busy Bees to reconsider their decision and keep this special place open.

The impact of this decision is bad enough all the families and staff who already use and work at the Nursery, but the fact there was not an open period of consultation and to be still taking on new families, knowing full well the plan is unfair.

My Grandson has only be there for a short time, but has settled in well - it's not fair to make such drastic changes for those so young. I also feel very sorry for the dedicated staff who put a lot of effort into this branch.

I'm an 18 year old boy and in my life I moved around schools quite a bit and know the disruption it can cause' especially to younger children. I believe the Nursery should be saved because some children WILL have a hard time adjusting. I find it so disgusting that the main priorities (the children attending) Have pretty much been disregarded by the staff there. I can understand the point of view from the staff side, but it's incredibly unprofessional letting parents know 8 weeks before closing VIA EMAIL.

All the little ones will be disadvantaged if the nursery closes please reconsider for their well being
