What the petition asks
As a human right, we shouldn't have to pay for a service we are not getting. With the cost of living increasing and the average cost a day being £50+ to put your child into a nursery. Why are we paying for a service that can't physically be used when the nursery is closed. Stop bank holiday charges!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The pricing, and opening times, of privately provided childcare are matters for individual providers and parents, not the UK Government or Parliament.
