Give UK Childminders emergency funding if they have to close down amid COVID-19
If childminders are shut down in view of Covid-19, the Government should set up an emergency fund to ensure their survival and ensure that their finance and family do not suffer.
Parents feel so much happier when they found someone they can totally trust with their child, who knows them and their family personally. Taking your child to a childminder can be the next best thing to your own home.
We need the financial support from the government to secure our small business and our families.
