What the petition asks
The early years sector has completely been forgotten and thrown out of the window during these hard times. Early years staff have to go out risking there lives to work everyday without feeling appreciated.
The Government is giving full support to school teachers, giving them the opportunity to work from home and teach whereas early years staff has had no mention of doing a great job supporting children in this awful pandemic. We early years staff need to feel appreciated and at least each given a £500 bonus as a thank you.
