Nursery World report this week that according to Ofsted, From Dec 2009 to March 2010 more than 11,000 childcare places have been lost.
That’s 248 fewer nurseries! While 481 opened, 720 Early Years settings closed.
The good news however is that it's still thought the industry is continuing to come out of the worst of the recessionary impact, and that occupancy levels should gradually rise over the next 5 years.

Vote Today!
The endless electioneering has come to an end at last - it's Election Day!
Whichever party you support, or even if you don't think much of any of them, make sure you go down and vote! Even a protest vote is better than none.
The polling stations are open until 10pm this evening and it doesn't matter if you don't have your polling card.
Of course it's business as usual here and we're super busy registering Nursery Nurses, and endlessly chasing references.
Give us a call on 0845 009 1929 if you need anything - we'd love to hear from you.
