Potential changes to who provides childcare in Staffordshire's Children's Centres
The county council currently runs nurseries in seven children’s centres across the county. Each of these nurseries are graded as good or outstanding by Ofsted, but due to the constraints local authorities have to work in, they are not financially sustainable.
We’re considering offering the opportunity to private and/or voluntary sector organisations who have the expertise, freedom and flexibility to provide good quality services at the right price.
