 At the opening of the newly refurbished Balham Nursery and Children's Centre with Councillor Nick Bowes to see Labour’s investment in education locally and to celebrate news that 3,000 Sure Start Children’s Centres have now been opened across the country. The announcement means that the Labour government is on track to fulfil its manifesto pledge of 3,500 centres open by next year. In their ‘Helping new families’ policy document published on 15 March 2008, the Conservatives committed to cutting “£200 million per year…from Children’s Centres”. This would mean cutting 19.5% from Sure Start budgets – the equivalent of one in five Children’s Centres being forced to close.
