From the Sleaford Standard
"A facility to provide health and childcare needs for young children is progressing well. A new purpose-built children's centre, which will share the same site as Billinghay Primary School, is nearing completion. The centre will cater for the needs of families in the area with children aged up to five.

Coun Patricia Bradwell, Lincolnshire County Council's executive councillor for children's services, said: "The centre will provide facilities and essential support all the year around for young children and their families. "Services could include baby-weigh in sessions with health visitors, support groups for families, and healthy eating and legal advice. There could also be lots of activities for youngsters, including reading, play, singing and crafts.
"The children's centre will work in partnership with local childcare and early years providers and there will be the opportunity to develop support for parents and carers, including training and help with employment." The centre will link with a range of schools and will be managed by Paul Watson, principal of St George's College of Technology, Sleaford."

What a busy person Paul Watson must be!! After reading the article about the new Child Centre I find out that he is the manager of this. How can that be right? It's terrible what is happening to our Lafford School and now apparently Paul Watson has resigned from the Lafford. If he doesn't want to be associated with the Lafford, why should he be allowed to manage the Child Centre??
It it right and proper? I don't know, just thinking aloud! Perhaps we should ask some more questions before more of Billinghay is whittled away....
