Staff and students of London Metropolitan University rallied yesterday to save their nursery at Hornsey Road.Parents were with their children carrying balloons that read 'I love my nursery', and staff held placards reading 'Save our Nursery'.
Members of both trade unions, UNISON and UCU, called for the Vice Chancellor to keep the nursery open, and hundreds more signatures on the petition were collected.
The group chanted: "What do we want? To save our Nursery! When do we want it? Now!"
The petition, with close to a thousand signatures collected in the last few weeks, was handed in to the Vice Chancellor's office. Representatives of London Met UNISON branch are meeting this morning to discuss alternative proposals on keeping the nursery open.
