Talks are continuing between Buckinghamshire County Council and the South Bucks Nursery Forum, whose members have threatened to stop offering funded nursery education places, saying the grant does not cover the costs of providing them (News, 11 February, 4 March).
Senior council officers have met with the forum and divisional director Chris Munday said, 'We all felt it was a constructive meeting resulting in a clear commitment to further dialogue and working jointly to seek solutions.'
