Rising Stars - one of the largest childcare providers in Glasgow - will shut at the end of March.

She added that parents should have been made aware ahead of the information being leaked and said it had been "extremely challenging" to find childcare at short notice.It said that the childcare service was first established in the 1990s by the former East End Partnership and Govan Initiative, but the funding that allowed services to be subsidised no longer existed.

The nurseries had performed at a loss for some time, with those losses having been met from JBG's charitable reserves.The letter, written by Gary Hay, JBG managing director, said the organisation would be working closely with Glasgow City Council education services to support childcare needs.Anna Kumar's three-year-old daughter, Maya, goes to the same nursery and said she heard about the closure through teachers, before receiving an email.

"We've also exhausted all of our holidays for the year and we are hoping that we get a nursery replacement soon enough."A spokeswoman for JBG said: "We apologise for any inconveniences we know the closure of the service will have on families. "The business case review has been taking place for some time now and a search for a private childcare provider to take over the brand and estate has been unsuccessful in the current climate.She added: "We are working with Glasgow City Council early years colleagues to support our families to help find alternative provision across the city.

"No employee will be facing compulsory redundancy and we will work with colleagues to find suitable alternative roles."
