What the petition asks
As the title suggests, Early Years Practitioners, Teachers and Managers want the ruling to be the same as the schools ruling, to be offered to just keyworker children.
Because the staff who work in nurseries are just as vulnerable as anyone else working in a school and we do not wear PPE and have to come into very close contact with children as part of our everyday role. We should be treated the same way as teachers working in schools, why are we exempt from the latest ruling of being open to key worker children only.
