This was the second year The Tree House before and after school club had been provided by Premier Education.

An affected parent was furious with the closure - labelling the situation as "a disgrace."

The parent told Nub News: "I appreciate private companies are to make money, but when providing a service to a school, to withdraw with immediate effect is nothing short of a disgrace.

"There has been no notice period to the parents at all.

"It has left those who use it regularly in a really difficult situation."
