What parents say

Parents value the longer opening hours (8:45am-5:45pm), free drop-in activities, and annual seaside trips. One parent noted it was the only centre with availability after signing up to 10 waiting lists. Described as forward-thinking and supportive for isolated families.

In the news

Faced proposed closure in 2024 as part of council plans to save £4m from early years budget. Parents launched 'Hands off our nurseries' campaign. A judicial review found the council's consultation process was 'unlawful' and the case was settled out of court. Council confirmed 'no hard plans' to close nurseries in 2025. (Hackney Citizen, 2024-2025)
