Guarantee funding for maintained nursery schools beyond August 2020

Closed 168 signatures

What the petition asks

Like hundreds of maintained nursery schools, St. Werburgh's Park Nursury School, Bristol relies on Central Government funding for its existence. Funding has only been guaranteed until August 2020 and a decision after that has yet to be announced. Funding beyond August 2020 must be guaranteed now.
"As a mum of an ex-pupil I can confirm that the staff at the nursery are highly professional and supportive. The Nursery is next to the Primary School and the unique relationship between the two really helped in our child’s transition from one to the other, this made starting school so much less stressful. We can't lose our nursery!” M. Vasileva, parent https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2019-06-06/bristol-could-lose-12-specialist-nursery-schools-in-what-is-described-as-an-unfolding-crisis
