Roger has been criticised by colleagues after he condemned the decision to set up the nursery, which is used by the children of MPs and officials, and is subsidised by the taxpayer to the tune of £100,000 a year.
An unrepentant Mr Godsiff said: “I’m not against nurseries and crèches – I’m a strong supporter.

"But what are my constituents supposed to think when they see MPs enjoying this subsidised and lavish facility while their own local services are being cut?”
While the nursery has room for 40 children, only 24 places have been filled – and only six of the youngsters are full-time attendees. David Cameron’s children use the nursery.
Roger said: “The nursery is still running at a projected loss of £100,000 in this financial year and records show that the accumulated running losses and capital costs now amount to well over £1 million at a time when public nurseries and Sure Start centres are closing or drastically reducing their provision.
“This continual drain on public monies is no longer justifiable.”
Mr Godsiff added: “If a private nursery was run this way, then it would have to close. If it was run by the local council, then they’d need to find some way of controlling costs.
