@BellaSankey @SteveTheQuip Very sad to hear of Glenys passing ❤️. In Glenys honour would you be willing to save Bright Start Nursery from closure or soft closure as they are calling it? It would mean SO much to the community. We love this picture and how much it shows the real history behind it! Xxx

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Glenys Kinnock. A giant of our movement, her commitment & resolve were legendary. Here she is with Neil helping to open #SaveBrightStart nursery in #Brighton, created by @SteveTheQuip’s Administration. Condolences to all of her loved ones.

1/ Parents are campaigning to #SaveBrightStart as @BrightonHoveCC tries to cut it again. It’s very frustrating to see @BHLabour Cllrs repeating the mistakes they previously opposed & playing political football with our children. BHCC is not following its values, this is WRONG 🧵

@BellaSankey great to speak on Sat on #SaveBrightStart . You were a great support in Jan23. Can you & Jacob pls have a f2f consultation with parents on current plans. We are feeling hurt & let down that our children will need to go through more change.

We would appreciate the chance to *actually* work with you. And to discuss how cuts to 'non essential' services are precisely the cuts which put children 'at risk' and in need of support from mandatory services (see cam.ac.uk/research/news/…)

Take a look at this thread to #savebrightstart nursery

We hope this can give @BrightonHoveCC the confidence they need to make the right choice, to protect early years services (especially Settings of Sanctuary and those providing for #SEND kids) - and to #SaveBrightStart

🚨Draft budget proposals were released last week for Brighton & Hove and one of the most contentious proposals is the CLOSURE of BRIGHT START NURSERY in the City Centre‼️ Please support the staff, parents, children and community by signing & sharing this> change.org/p/save-bright-…

We implore @Phelimmac @BHGreenCllrs @bhlabour @GMBSussexBranch @Unisonbhcc to fight for the children, families and staff who rely on Bright Start and the wider community who benefit from it. Bright Start provides an ESSENTIAL service, and once it is lost it cannot be regained 🙏

#SaveBrightStart parents took their kids to yesterday's @BrightonHoveCC meeting. Thank you to @brightonland for speaking up and discussing impact this will have on the vulnerable and to the 1000+ people who've signed the petition so far. We will fight on and keep you informed 💪

Please take a minute to sign this petition to #SaveBrightStart Council-Run #Nursery in #Brighton which is facing closure due to budget cuts. As a parent of kids who rely on the nursery here's a 🧵on why it's so important 👇🏽change.org/p/save-bright-…
