Story
Hi, We are Tacita & Ellie and we are seeking support from the community to help us raise £6000 to keep Omnipresence Nursery School running through this difficult time. The pandemic has affected the lives of every one of us, but our children’s nursery needs our help to stay open!
Omnipresence Nursery, Northampton is a family business with a difference. They provide an exceptional level of care in an loving, nurturing environment. The team are dedicated to supporting each childs needs whether emotional, physical, psychological or educational and provide outstanding childcare.
Families whose income has not been affected continue to pay, but the majority of parents whose children attend the nursery come from self employed households, and have also been drastically affected by the lockdown. The parents have either stopped trading or lost business, and for many are unable to pay the nursery due to their own financial difficulties.
The nursery currently remains open to support the children of the key workers however with only some children attending, the remaining staff not furloughed are not receiving a wage, as they are not currently supported by the government. Which means closing there doors to the families that rely on them right now. The outgoings for the nursery still continue, they still need to pay rent, and overheads but without enough incoming fees, their future is at risk. Nurseries do not receive financial support like schools.
We ask that any donation would be much appreciated at this time, or if you are unable to financially help, we ask that you share this amongst family and friends, who I'm sure will have had to rely on childcare at some point in their lives, and understand the importance of keeping businesses like these alive.
