Include childcare providers in coronavirus package of economic support
The chancellor has just announced that the hospitality and leisure industries will be supported over the coming months. This petition is to include childcare providers in the same measures to ensure they also survive this crisis.
Our nurseries are critical to ensuring working parents can continue to work.
If nurseries have to close due to the coronavirus crisis, their terms of business mean that fees may not be payable, and even where not the case, many parents are likely to remove their children as they cannot afford to continue to pay or due to health concerns. When this is over, we all want our children to return to their nurseries, to familiar staff and settings. Please help our childcare providers survive this!
