What the petition asks
To review childcare provision , costs - currently private nursery’s charge a small fortune , they also do not provide adequate care for children at primary school level as not cost effective or there’s no requirement. As a working parent family what do we do when our child has school holidays
I would like a review, childcare in European countries has a better provision, we are at the mercy of private childcare providers that charge a lot and also it appears that due to cost of living increases are now shutting doors and closing down , leaving working parents facing further stresses on mental health and also financial well being, no alternative but to review whether to work and help keep roof over head of family , food on table and if we can heat homes
