Wave nursery fees during Covid19 isolation
Rejected
18 signatures
What the petition asks
Cancel all fees for the duration the child is off for.
Because if a child is not allowed at nursery then the parent cannot work and earn the money to pay for the childcare that is provided.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The refund of nursery fees for any period of closure is a matter for individual nurseries, not the Government or Parliament.
