Parents left in limbo as university plans on-site nursery closure

It's a real shame that QMUL continues to communicate in bad faith by passing off these lies. The reality is that the nursery is operating at over 90% capacity, well over the national average. Furthermore, the losses are a direct result of their own poor policy decisions not the viability of the nursery, for example they routinely delay permission to hire new staff which results in exorbitant monthly agency fees. The reality appears to simply be that they want the building for other purposes and they have manufactured a thin financial argument to justify evicting 68 children and firing 19 highly trained and exceptional staff. Lastly, it should be said that they have done exactly nothing to "help parents, carers and guardians find alternative arrangements". They have simply provided a hastily Googled list of nurseries within a few miles of the campus which all have wait lists several times longer than the short notice provided and, in at least one case, is known to provide a substandard level of care.
