A County Derry nursery unit originally formed as a cross-community venture has said it was always linked to the town s controlled primary school.
Moneymore Nursery Unit was founded in 2002 in partnership with St Patrick s Primary School, the area s Catholic maintained primary school, and the controlled Moneymore Primary School.
However, in 2012, the nursery unit removed St Patrick s PS from its original admissions criteria, a move parents claim which makes it more difficult for children hoping to attend St Patrick s to access local nursery provision.
