A NURSERY in Dulverton that was set to cut jobs, reduce its daily hours and open in term time only has won a reprieve.

Parents who formed an action group to help Little Owls Nursery, attached to All Saints School in Dulverton, are celebrating as new funding, new plans – including a holiday club – and increased interest has made the nursery safe at least until July next year.

The nursery will continue to provide care from Monday to Thursday, 8am to 6pm, all year round, while a working group has been set up to make it sustainable for the future.

The redundancy process has been halted for two jobs due to be lost, and the nursery will also now be able to carry on taking children under two.
