Positive response from interested parties over running nursery

The University of Bradford has received a positive response from interested parties looking to take over operating its early years nursery.  

A period of formal consultation is underway on a proposal to close the nursery, located on Laisteridge Lane. 

The University has so far met with three of the parties interested in running the nursery, with meetings scheduled with a further four parties. 

A University of Bradford spokesperson said: “We are receiving and considering a range of options from staff, our campus trade unions as well as parents and carers who use the nursery, including exploring the possibility of a new provider running the nursery.

“We are also considering extending the proposed date of closure to 31 August following feedback received from nursery staff and parents/carers.”

Any further enquiries concerning running the nursery, should be sent in writing to tcp-nursery@bradford.ac.uk with the heading ‘External proposal’ by Friday 4 April.
