What the petition asks
Department for Education (DfE) urging councils to make childcare settings exempt from business rates. Wales is following in the footsteps of Scotland by making nurseries exempt from paying business rates and now nurseries in England are putting pressure on Westminster to do the same.
All nurseries in England are being urged to sign this petition to trigger a debate in Parliament over the issue.
After owning nurseries for 29 years I have never experienced such damaging times. We need help before lots more are forced to close down
