Close early years settings in tier 4

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Early years practitioners and children under the age of five who are in nurseries and day care centres/ child minders deserve to be protected from the virus mutation. It is spreading fast and many of the staff members and families are very nervous to go back in the new year.
Put the policies of opening schools in tier 4 areas in line with early years settings and nurseries.
