Give babies of 2020 the chance of free nursery hours

What the petition asks
I would like babies of 2020 to get free nursery hours as I think it is massively important for a baby’s development. Babies born in 2020 haven’t been able to attend baby classes, playgroups etc. Babies need social interaction with other children especially round their age to help their development.
I would like the government to give babies of 2020 the chance of free nursery hours. A lot of parents at the moment have lost jobs or are on furlough and cannot afford to put their baby’s in nursery, which would be the only place they are able to interact with other children at the moment. It’s also massively important for a parents well-being to get a bit of a break during these challenging times.
