What the petition asks
The nursery opened in Croydon to help pregnant teenagers, schoolgirl mums and young parents stay in education is going to have to close this year due to a cut in funding.
The closure will have a massive impact on dozens of families.
The closure will have a massive impact on dozens of families.
Cotelands Nursery has had 40 years of supporting young families in the borough.
The nursery, judged to be 'Outstanding' by Ofsted, looks after babies and toddlers of young parents.
It is having to close at the end of this academic year due to the loss of a key £120,000 a year ‘Care to Learn’ government grant that was originally designed to encourage teenage mums to get back into education in South Croydon and New Addington.

Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to ask Government and Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure what action you'd like Government and Parliament to take to keep the nursery open.
If you'd like a specific change to be made to the Care to Learn grant, you could start a new petition about that.
