This April, at least 8 community nurseries in Hackney were informed of immediate cuts ranging from 30,000 - 50,000 for each nursery. These cuts were implemented without consultation or a fair and open process. They mean a serious threat of nursery closures. The Hackney Learning Trust and Hackney Council are denying that there is a programme of cuts to nursery provision.

We call on the Hackney Learning Trust to;

1) immediately reverse the decision to cut funding to nurseries' commissioning grants

2) have full consultation with community nurseries about funding and answer Friends of Hackney Nurseries questions on how money is being allocated
