Funding to be reinstated for first steps
Funding to be reinstated for first steps
The Issue
First steps is an educational child care facility that provides services to 2-4 year olds with disabilities, and special educational needs. It was a vital lifeline service to many families with very little alternative. It was rated outstanding by ofsted 6 years running and has provided unrivalled care and support to many families and their children.
havering council pulled the funding( offering no alternative) in 2017 and the service has since struggled to keep the service running. Following the pandemic the service has been unable to open leaving so many families without anywhere to go with their children who need and thrive on this service.
please sign this petition to urge Havering council to get their funding reinstated!
