Ms Hughes said using the creche was a “generational” thing in her family.

She said: “My mum came here with me, and I am 32 now – that’s how long it’s being going.”

She uses the creche every week with her two year old son Finley.

Ms Hughes said: “It’s a community for our children.

“My son knows all the children and staff there. West Kirby Concourse is supposed to be a community place, so why take away the one thing here which is for the community?”

Natalie added: “It means everything to me. I was a first time mum, quite isolated.

“I worked out before I was a mum, and this was the only place that enabled me to carry on with that part of me.

“For me, motherhood hit me so much harder – your life completely changes, so being able to carry on with a hobby kept a part of myself.”

Wirral Council said: “Like many other local authorities, we continue to face severe financial challenges.

“Setting a legal and balanced budget for 2025-26 required financial support from the government and for councillors to agree a package of savings worth more than £25m.”
