The story of how parent campaigners and childcare workers joined forces to open community nurseries and children’s centres during the 1970s and 80s is told through a new website that maps childcare activism in London. https://t.co/PlyZqvXhh8

🎇Great news for the Hackney Children Centre nurseries, staff and children! But shame on @hackneycouncil for putting them through this. It is disgustingly underhand that they refused to publish the external consultants full report.

[George Colegate-Stone @GColegateStone]

.@HackneyAbbott thank you for standing with us and our kid. Will @hackneycouncil , @carowoodley now stand up for our children too and commit to save our children's centres?

[Save Hillside Nursery N16 @SaveHillsideN16]

Second time @hackneycouncil
has put staff, children and families through an extended period of uncertainty whilst a debacle of a 'consultation' has been conducted. Qs need to be answered about how this has happened again.

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

This is the kind of cold, callous, inadequate & disrespectful comms sent out by @hackneycouncil officers to #Hackney’s hardworking Children’s Centre staff at affected centres who have been living with the possibility of losing their jobs for months/years for Fernbank. Shameful.

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

Our campaign’s win against @hackneycouncil was featured on the @BBCLondonNews tonight! So proud at what we’ve achieved but so angry & sad that it took legal action to make the council listen to residents. @carowoodley must now commit to safeguarding #Hackney’s Children’s Centres!

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

*Much more to follow* but for now huge thanks to @HackneyAbbott @alastairis @liamzud @ @LabWomenHSS @ZoeGarbett @a4antoinette @SglParentRights @ApsanaBegumMP @lemnsissay @HackneyUNISON @HackneyNEU @hackneygreens @HackneyLibDems @PregnantScrewed @Joeli_Brearley for your support

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

HUGE NEWS!! @hackneycouncil have conceded that the consultation on Children’s Centre closures was *unlawful* so WE WON OUR CASE!!🎉

THANK YOU to all our supporters for helping us to achieve this huge victory! And to our legal team💪🏻 @ris_law @SteveBroach

Our legal challenge to @hackneycouncil over their unfair consultation on #Hackney’s Children’s Centre closures makes the front page of the @hackneycitizen! 🥳 @ris_law

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

It’s sad that we have to resort to legal action but we are left with no choice. We must protect these vital services at all costs & if @hackneycouncil @carowoodley won’t fight to save our children’s centres then #Hackney’s residents will do so. Huge thanks to @ris_law @alexrook1!

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

🥳 Very happy with the CYP Scrutiny committee’s excoriating formal response to @hackneycouncil’s proposals to close or privatise #Hackney’s Children’s Centres! Thanks to @alastairis @SophieConway84 & others for their work on this. Read:

We’re grateful for the support of @a4antoinette, @hackneygreens candidate for #DeBeauvoir by-election & #LondonAssembly. She took the time to attend our demo & meet with residents opposing #Hackney Children’s Centre closures👇Still no word from @Semakaleng @UKLabour GLA candidate

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

So that’s it, the end of the 1st stage of this fight- thanks to everyone who completed the consultation survey! But we’re not going anywhere until @hackneycouncil @carowoodley listen to #Hackney residents who are united in rejecting Children’s Centre closures. Watch this space!

[SaveFernbankNursery @Save_Fernbank]

Are you involved in a campaign to stop the closure of a council-run nursery/maintained #nursery school or Children’s Centre? If so, please get in touch! Particularly keen to hear from you if you are up against a @UKLabour council! Please retweet! #childcare #EarlyYears #SaveMNS
