Commenting on the government’s announcement of £24 million in additional interim funding for maintained nursery schools, UNISON head of education Jon Richards said:
“This additional funding gives welcome breathing space, but nursery schools need long-term certainty, rather than stop-gap measures.
“However, hundreds of council-run nurseries and children’s centres, often in deprived areas, are still facing closure as a result of the government’s funding changes. They face many of the same challenges as nursery schools and are equally worthy of financial help.”
Notes to editors:
