Save our Creche


Leeds City Council have taken the decision, without consultation of its users, to close all six of its leisure centre crèches on Friday 12 November, including Scott Hall Sports Centre crèche.
The crèche provide a safe, friendly and convenient environment for the under 5’s. It allows parents/carers of more than one child under 5 enrol their children in exercise classes such as swimming and gym-minis. It also allows parents/carers to build and maintain their own fitness of both body and mind which are essential to parenthood.
If the crèche is closed, many parents/carers will not be able to continue to take their children to classes, or indeed use the centre themselves. This will result in loss of revenue for the centre, which could ultimately fall into decline.
Please help us to persuade the council to vary its decision and to ensure that future provision can be made by signing and commenting below.
