Kings College Hospital Day Nursery and South London and Maudsley’s Cedar House Nursery are due to close in February next year.
Parents and carers using the nurseries have launched a petition against the closures as they say that in absence of the ‘vital’ workplace provision, they may have to stop working or look for a job elsewhere. A demonstration against the closures are planned for later this week.
The settings, which collectively provide 120 full-time childcare places, are both based within Mapother House, which is due to close. Run by the local NHS trusts, Kings College Hospital Day Nursery is only open to hospital staff, while Cedar House Nursery is open to both hospital staff and the wider community.
