Close all nursery settings to protect staff working with children birth to 5

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Close all nursery settings for under 5 year old as these children do not need to be in setting and staff risk lives as these children do not understand social distance and come in crying need cuddles and can’t tell us as staff they are unwell
To protect staff and their families from the spread of Corina virus. We are open for all children some only coming in 3 hours a day so parent are not working and are leaving home to bring those children in to settings the wait in outside areas in groups of 20 plus waiting for doors to open this is not helping the situation one little bit. These children can not tell us they are ill and parent aren’t even working all funded places
