A move against excellence

By Dave Willis, chair of governors, Kendal Nursery School, Brantfield 'On the slide' (Nursery World, 11 May) describes a state of affairs all too familiar to us. Our nursery school is in danger of being marginalised as Cumbria moves towards the development of children's centres under phase two. Our future is endangered by the establishment of a proposed children's centre for Kendal in a voluntary-aided primary school. We have written to the authority expressing our concerns. We are also lobbying our MP and the Minister for Children.
