Proposed Prestonfield nursery closure

Edinburgh Council is proposing beginning consultation on the closure of the Princess Elizabeth Nursery in Clearburn Crescent.  The decision on whether to begin formal consultation will be taken on Tuesday (12th) at the Education Committee.

The Nursery has a capacity of 24 full time places and currently is operating at 60% capacity.  Details can be found in this report, especially appendix 3.   High School Yards Nursery is also proposed for closure as is Westfield Court Nursery, though in this case for different reasons.
