Lower the age for free childcare for parents who work!
I feel like the age for free childcare should be lowered to the age of 2 for children who's parents are working. I feel it is unfair that 2 year olds only get free childcare if their parents are on income support and other benefits! People who work should get the extra childcare support
I personally have to work around my youngest son because I cannot afford to put him into childcare! If the age for free childcare was lowered I would be able to work more hours and provide a better life for my family. I don't feel like working parents get enough support. Parents who choose not to work just for the simple fact that they don't want to shouldn't be given free child care from the age of 2 when they are able to take care of their children themselves. It should be same rules for everyone
