The Little Unicorn childcare centre in Newcastle closed on Wednesday. This happened after its general manager resigned. Unpaid debts had piled up for months.
The Little Unicorn closed its Honeysuckle site this week. This came after its general manager, Amy Neary, resigned.

It gave zero notice. The team was owed about $12,000.
The cleaning contractor sued the business. Other creditors also filed claims.
Court cases were still pending. The closure was a business decision.
