Eleven Auckland daycare or early childcare centre companies are in liquidation after licences were cancelled by the Ministry of Education and a WorkSafe prosecution after a tree toppled on toddlers. Rising debts due to fines, falling numbers of children attending after the state s action and staffing issues were all said to be reasons for the failure of the business with the centres throughout Auckland.
Licensed insolvency practitioner Pritesh Patel of Patel & Co has been appointed. A report is due to be issued on the liquidations shortly.
