Petition Action

Ensure the survival & funding of our high quality maintained nursery schools.

Petition Details

Only 408 maintained nursery schools are left in England. 200 have been closed since1995. These extremely successful (97% are good or outstanding) inclusive places for children under 5 & their families are schools, but are not funded as schools, & thus are under huge threat of being lost forever.

Additional Information

Maintained nursery schools support higher than average concentrations of children with SEND & have the expertise & skills to support them successfully. They are extremely successful at closing the gap between the most disadvantaged children and their peers. They are led by specialist headteachers & employ qualified teachers & nursery nurses. 64% are in the 30% most deprived areas in England.
See the Early Education report: 'Maintained Nursery Schools: the state of play' March 2015 for more info
