The petition to Guarantee The Future For State-Funded Maintained Nursery Schools For After March 2020 has now achieved over 10,000 signatures.  The Government  will respond to the petition.

A tremendous thank you from the Team at Blagdon Nursery School for your amazing response and support.

Thank you for reaching 10,000 signatures but we still need your help to get to 100,000.
