Parents claim they were given just three days notice about the closure of their children's nursery.
A message was sent by Barton Day Nurseries in Halewood on December 20, giving parents warning that the Lichfield Road site would be permanently closed from December 23. The closure was blamed on staffing issues, with the nursery struggling to recruit enough qualified workers.
Parents said the announcement came as a "complete shock". One mum, who did not wish to be named, said: "We didn't expect that before Christmas. It was a very hard time for all parents, not just me, because it's especially hard to find childcare in South Liverpool.
