Plans to turn a former motorcycle showroom into a children’s nursery have been withdrawn and the provider involved has decided to look elsewhere due to ‘continued uncertainty’ over the decision date. The Bahnstormer BMW motorcycle dealership in Furze Platt Road, Maidenhead, closed down in 2024 and, since then, the building has been left vacant. The Little Fishes Pre-School is located at the War Memorial Hall in Furze Platt and has been open for over 30 years. Commenting on the proposals, a Little Fishes Pre-School representative said it supports high-quality childcare provision but had ‘significant concerns’ about the change of use. The trustees of Furze Platt War Memorial Hall backed the existing pre-school and said more than half of the hall’s income is generated from Little Fishes.
