Parents whose children attend nurseries in East Lothian where the council has withdrawn funding have been told concerns had been raised about the group's "overall approach to inclusion".
East Lothian Council this week confirmed it was n ot renewing its 1140 hours contract with Bright Stars Nursery Group after what it called "several months" of talks.
The decision means 151 children who were receiving the free hours will have to find them at an alternative nursery or their parents will have to pay the fees.
