So thatās it, the end of the 1st stage of this fight- thanks to everyone who completed the consultation survey! But weāre not going anywhere until Hackney Council Caroline Woodley listen to #Hackney residents who are united in rejecting Childrenās Centre closures. Watch this space!


Are you involved in a campaign to stop the closure of a council-run nursery/maintained #nursery school or Childrenās Centre? If so, please get in touch! Particularly keen to hear from you if you are up against a The Labour Party council! Please retweet! #childcare #EarlyYears #SaveMNS

Weāre grateful for the support of Antoinette Fernandez, Hackney Green Party candidate for #DeBeauvoir by-election & #LondonAssembly. She took the time to attend our demo & meet with residents opposing #Hackney Childrenās Centre closuresšStill no word from Sem Moema AM š¹ššŖš¾ The Labour Party GLA candidate


š„³ Very happy with the CYP Scrutiny committeeās excoriating formal response to Hackney Councilās proposals to close or privatise #Hackneyās Childrenās Centres!

Itās sad that we have to resort to legal action but we are left with no choice. We must protect these vital services at all costs & if Hackney Council Caroline Woodley wonāt fight to save our childrenās centres then #Hackneyās residents will do so. Huge thanks to Rook Irwin Sweeney Alex Rook!

Second time Hackney Council has put staff, children and families through an extended period of uncertainty whilst a debacle of a 'consultation' has been conducted. Qs need to be answered about how this has happened again. Caroline Woodley Mayor of Hackney rookirwinsweeney.co.uk/hackney-counciā¦

šGreat news for the Hackney Children Centre nurseries, staff and children! But shame on Hackney Council for putting them through this. It is disgustingly underhand that they refused to publish the external consultants full report.


Our campaignās win against Hackney Council was featured on the BBC London tonight! So proud at what weāve achieved but so angry & sad that it took legal action to make the council listen to residents. Caroline Woodley must now commit to safeguarding #Hackneyās Childrenās Centres!

.Diane Abbott thank you for standing with us and our kid. Will Hackney Council , Caroline Woodley now stand up for our children too and commit to save our children's centres?


"Hackney Council admits to unlawful consultation over childrenās centre closures" - our clients' successful judicial review covered by Hackney Citizen this week hackneycitizen.co.uk/2024/11/06/hacā¦

This is the kind of cold, callous, inadequate & disrespectful comms sent out by Hackney Council officers to #Hackneyās hardworking Childrenās Centre staff at affected centres who have been living with the possibility of losing their jobs for months/years for Fernbank. Shameful.
