'There were discussions about taking over as a social enterprise which was discouraged'
Parents of children attending two nurseries attached to a Lanarkshire college will be forced to find places for them elsewhere at the beginning of the new year, after it was confirmed they will close.
Amcol, who operate a third nursery at the Motherwell campus were considering taking over the running of the one in Cumbernauld. “In their response to our approach, and despite our offer of significant support in the future, Amcol said the current business model was not viable and that, in any event ‘it is highly unlikely that Amcol will be in a position to assume responsibility for the Cumbernauld campus before early summer 2024’.
“I appreciate and am deeply sorry for the disruption, anxiety and upset this situation has caused parents, guardians, children and staff. I will keep you informed of any developments, information or support which we can offer in the coming weeks.”
