What the petition asks
My Husband and I work, between us we do 60 plus hours a week-as with many families. Now our child is at the age she can start 2's nursery we will be looking at £600 plus a month.
If either of us were to not work we would get this for free! You are putting families in this bracket into hardship.

Provide 15 hours free funding for 2 year old children who's families work.
Why it was rejected

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you want free childcare for all 2 year olds, or just for those who cannot afford childcare. There are already provisions for people in receipt of certain benefits:
