Parents say they have been left devastated after a popular nursery in Tameside has been forced to permanently close.
Funtasia First Steps nursery in Stalybridge announced the closure earlier this week, with the owner saying that running the centre had been a 'constant up hill battle' since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Dozens of parents, who have described the nursery as 'absolutely brilliant' and 'the best thing for their children,' told the M.E.N they had been left in tears over the planned closure.
