Heartbreak as beloved Felpham nursery forced to close

The building’s closure was already a foregone conclusion. Natural wear and tear meant the facility was fast becoming too expensive to repair, and inspectors had already decided to demolish the building, but staff were hoping to hold out until the end of the year in order to minimise disruption to this year’s cohort.

The closing date was brought forward, however, when it was discovered the building had shifted downwards on one side.
