Redistribute 30 hours childcare funding to subsidise costs for children aged 1-4

Petition Details

The current childcare funding is not available until a child is three years old. Consequently, there is a funding gap between the end of maternity leave and the start of the 30 hours funding.

I propose we redistribute the funding to provide 15 hours childcare per week for children aged 1 to 4.

Additional Information

All parents are eligible for 15 hours funding for children aged 3 and 4.

Families where both parents are working are eligible for an additional 15 hours funding for children aged 3 and 4.

The current gap in childcare funding for children aged 1 and 2, means that childcare costs are one of the greatest barriers for parents returning to work.

I propose we redistribute this entitlement so that families where both parents are working are eligible for the funding for children aged 1 and 2.
