Stop the privatisation of Cygnets and Rainbow Nurseries

Stop the privatisation of Cygnets and Rainbow Nurseries

The Issue

As part of their consultation on the future of Early Help Services, East Sussex County Council has announced that it is looking to privatise their two OFSTED Outstanding nurseries based in Sidley and Egerton Park Children’s Centres.
 
This could force people to have to quit their jobs because of an increase in childcare costs, and would make a good start in life unaffordable for children in two of the most deprived communities in Bexhill.
 
If you agree that the County Council should be supporting people into work by providing high quality and affordable childcare please sign our petition.
