Coram charity has forgotten its core purpose of helping children

I am a staff member at the Thomas Coram nursery school and centre (Coram charity accused of ‘throttling by stealth’ nursery it helped create, 16 July). My colleagues and I are deeply invested in the campaign to try to save the nursery school and I am so furious with the defence that Coram has given for its actions that I felt I had to write.

I have worked at the nursery for nine years, four when it first opened and then again for the last five as part of the senior leadership team. It is a unique and wonderful place that has served thousands of children in need.
