Shocked Edinburgh parents have been left to look elsewhere for childcare after a nursery was forced to close some of its rooms.
With just two and a half weeks' notice, Clare Hammond, 34, said she felt her 'blood run cold' when she was informed that Thrive Childcare's Corner House Nursery in Spylaw had to close their rooms temporarily to under threes due to "staff shortages".
While her three-year-old son, Cian, is happily still at the nursery, Clare rushed to find new childcare for 18-month Mairéad.
