A beloved Nottinghamshire pre-school has warned it faces a 'heart-breaking' closure as its funding falls short. Managers at St Giles Pre-school in West Bridgford say there is a "devastating" possibility of having to close in July, if a boost to funding and support for its operating committee is not received in the next month.
St Giles Pre-school was established more than 50 years ago and has been described by staff as a "stalwart" of the local community. But the pre-school has said current government funding is not covering its costs and that running costs have increased.
Sharni Partlett, St Giles Preschool manager and SENCO said: “There aren’t many settings like ours; we are a charity that is run by a voluntary committee on a non-profit basis, so we work on very tight budgets.
