Make emergency funding available for Self employed Childminders
Offer some kind of support or funding to help us through this time. We cant possibly support our families or pay utilities on whats roughly £70 a week sick pay
The main focus is being on schools and day nurseries, us self employed childminders are being forgotten and are already having to refund parents who have already paid fees for childcare, which then has begun putting us in debt already
