In 2008, the Bar Nursery Association was set up with the goal of opening a nursery in the Inns of Court. What progress has been made?
After plans put forward to open a nursery in the space formerly occupied by the St Clements Cafe in the Middle Temple were rejected in 2010, the Bar Nursery Committee has been looking for possible locations.
