Dear all,

As many of you will be aware, 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.

We need as many nursery staff, parents and community members to get involved in the campaign against the cuts and to help campaign for quality affordable childcare for all!

We are organising a Fun Day to help promote the campaign *on Sunday 30 May 11-2pm London Fields.

We have also launched a petition - if you have not yet signed it please do at: http://www.petitiononline.com/fhn/petition.html [1]

The next Friends of Hackney Nurseries campaign meeting will be on this Thursday May 20 at 6pm Bath House Community Nurseries 76 Shacklewell Lane E8 2EY.

Stay tuned with campaign details via our blog: http://friendsofhackneynurseries.wordpress.com/ [2]

cheers

Friends of Hackney Nurseries
