Children safe and happy at nursery
CHILDREN at a nursery in Lark- field were said to be happy and secure, according to Ofsted in- spectors. Dawn to Dusk nursery, in London Road, has 70 children aged three and four on its roll, and employs 12 staff. Children felt safe and had good relationships with staff, and learned to play well together, share toys and cooperate. Staff understood that safety was a high priority and took ef-
fective action tominimise risks. Parents received regular re-
ports on their child’s progress and said they felt welcome at the nursery, where staff were available to answer their ques- tions. To improve to an outstanding rating, the nursery should es- tablish links with other settings attended by the children, to share information about chil- dren’s care, learning and devel- opment.

Hard times for Chicago Rock
THE future of a Maidstone town centre night club hangs in the balance, after administrators were called in to rescue its par- ent company. Atmosphere Bars and Clubs, which owns Chicago Rock in Maidstone High Street, along with 23 other licensed bars and clubs across England and Wales, went into administration earlier in May, with Deloitte being appointed to handle its affairs.
Although a spokesman for De-
loitte said it was hoped to keep the venues operational and sold as a going concern, the future of the club remained uncertain. There was no reply from Chicago’s “party hotline” or from the club itself as the Downs Mail went to press. Atmosphere Bars and Clubs,
based in Milton Keynes, fo- cused on providing food, drink, music, parties and entertain- ment via its 19 Chicago bars and
a handful of others. More than 500jobscouldbeatriskifa buyer cannot be found. Daniel Butters, joint adminis-
trator and partner at Deloitte, said: “As a consequence of cash flow problems, the decision was taken by the directors of At- mosphere Bars and Clubs to place the company into admin- istration. We are continuing to trade the business and all ven- ues remain open whilst seeking a sale as a going concern.” Atmosphere had struggled in
the economic downturn, re- porting losses as late-night ven- ues went in for heavy discounting to retain their pop- ularity and share of the market. The group posted an annual pre-tax loss of £4.1m for the year to February 2012, with management blaming “unsus- tainable” discounting by rivals for the loss. This came after a pre-tax loss of £5.2m the year before.
