4Children’s role as strategic partner for early years and childcare under Sue Robb and her team, including the Foundation Years website, will continue at Action for Children’s Holborn headquarters.
Most of 4Children’s nurseries (41 in the 2015 Nursery Chains), including those serving the RAF, will transfer to Action for Children, with some being taken back in house by local authorities and two whose future is to be decided.
Some 727 4Children staff will move to Action for Children, 207 are going to a local authority or other provider, 85 are being made redundant and four’s positions are ‘uncertain’.
The two charities said that the move was ‘designed to maintain continuity for families’. As well as its policy work, 4Children offers childcare, family support and youth services.
