We, the undersigned parents, carers, and members of the Bubwith community, urgently request the Governing Body of Bubwith Primary School to pause and reconsider their decision to end SHAC's cherished wraparound childcare service. For over 11 years, SHAC has been a trusted partner in providing high-quality childcare that aligns with the needs of working families and supports our children’s wellbeing and growth.

This decision has been made abruptly, leaving families scrambling for alternatives. The ramifications of terminating such a crucial service have far-reaching impacts not only on us as parents but significantly on our children who have thrived under SHAC's nurturing environment. We believe it is vital for the Governing Body to conduct a transparent process that includes robust consultation with affected families, ensuring that any decision made is thoroughly explained and justifiable.

Quality childcare is an essential service that influences our children's formative experiences and is interwoven with our community's fabric. Replacing SHAC's well-established provision should not be a decision taken lightly or hastily, as it affects working parents’ ability to balance career and family responsibilities effectively.

We are calling on Bubwith Primary School's leadership to comprehensively review this decision, taking into account the detailed feedback from the families who rely on SHAC's services daily. We propose that an open dialogue be established immediately, fostering constructive discussions that could pave the way for SHAC's services to continue to benefit the current and future generations of Bubwith.

Join us in preserving a key component of our community by signing this petition. Let us unite to ensure our voices are heard and our children continue to have access to the quality care they deserve.
