Allow grandparents to help working parents with childcare in local lockdowns
Allow working families to form a support bubble with grandparents so they can help with childcare. With many parents back at work and local lockdowns in place many are struggling as a lot of grandparents help with childcare. Some families rely on this help and can’t afford other childcare.
The area in which I live has recently been placed in a local lockdown and these restrictions now mean my daughters grandparents are unable to help us with childcare after school. We have after school childcare 2 days per week and my parents were due to help a further 2 days. I want the government to recognise that many working families rely on grandparents to help with childcare. For many it is unaffordable and a lot of childcare places are full meaning parents will have to take time off work.
