A Nottinghamshire town has been "turned upside down" as parents are desperately seeking childcare following the closure of two nurseries. It comes after a letter was sent out to parents and carers informing them that two establishments in Stapleford - the Brookhill House Day and Learning Tree nurseries - will be shut down in a matter of days.
Both nurseries are run by the same company, Cared 4, which previously operated three other childcare provider centres across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire that are now closed. Ofsted told Nottinghamshire Live that they are taking steps to cancel the registration of this provider.
But in the letter sent out on Monday (March 21) to parents and carers at the two Stapleford nurseries, a spokesperson for Cared 4 described the Ofsted's actions as "draconian". It also read that there will be "no major concerns or basis to implement a closure".
