Kemble Nursery, housed in a bungalow in the grounds of the Bath Spa Hotel, has been instructed by the hotel's solicitors to leave by the end of this month. The hotel wants to use the bungalow for staff accommodation instead.
The nursery was set up in 1993 and has a two-year waiting list.
Nursery owner Carol Holland is now seeking new premises. 'We were looking for one year's grace but the hotel wouldn't get back to me,' Ms Holland said. 'Then six weeks later we had a letter from its lawyers saying "no".
'All I want is a stay of execution so I can relocate. I always felt that as long as Kemble had its life, the setting would be based in the hotel grounds. I'm just sorry it should have to end like this.'
