Stop charging parents and carers Nursery fees during Bank Holidays

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Nurseries charge a day rate on Bank Holidays and when their service is closed. Most nurseries close for public holidays, such as Good Friday, Christmas Day etc. Parents and carers are still charged full price when nurseries are closed during public holidays. This needs to be stopped

Make it illegal for UK private nurseries to charge parents for Bank Holidays.
